High Praise

From Our Clients

"I’m really pleased with Brian and all the mechanics. Last year, they did a total rebuild of my engine. Any of the three guys there have the ability to do that. They did a great job. Johnny, a carpenter, carves award-winning birds in his spare time."

Rick Kilbride

"The quality and consistency of service provided by Jaime and his team have been outstanding over the years. They are responsive and provide highly customized solutions for their customers."

Stefan Cushman

"Great service, friendly, cheerful, knowledgeable staff."

Roger Noble

"What’s amazing about the yard is its quality, professionalism, and how you, as the customer, get to know the people working on your boat –as though they are family. They’re boatbuilders first."
