    Absolutely the most professional bottom painting I have had in 50 years! We had our bottom painted up north in Freeport NY in April of this year. After moving south and keeping our boat in Beaufort SC for 3 months the bottom was hopelessy fouled. We called Marsh Harbor and told then how serious the problem was and they told us to bring the boat to them the next morning. This was on a Friday, they worked all weekend and were ready to launch Monday morning. When we arrived , I could not believe how the bottom looked, this 1987 48' Ocean Yachts was now pristine. Multiple coats of the finest paint, all underwater metals sandblasted and coated, unbelievable! I have never seen her look this good. The boat now has been in the water for 6 weeks and there is zero growth, really impressive. I will never bring her anywhere else. The crew at Marsh Harbor is courteous, professional, knowlegable and respectful. They handled the hauling and blocking with extreme care. No wonder that boaters come here from hundreds of miles away for the best service I have ever seen. Highly recommended.

    A great find. Had extensive work done here on a used boat purchase. From bottom repairs, gel coat work, diesel repairs, and rebuilding an anchor locker, I found the staff honest, skilled, and reasonably priced.

    We experienced serious mechanical failure that was remedied quickly by their head mechanic who happened to be on vacation but made himself available to assess our problem and repair the engine in just one afternoon. I have since cruised the entire winter and spring (about 2000 miles) with no further problem. Coming from a boatyard background myself, I can not give these guys enough credit!

    This is the best boatyard on the east coast. Honest, capable, and reasonable. They are simply the BEST!
