"Big marina is very accommodating. Everything you need is here. Good Ship’s Store. Great service department. We left the boat and had some fiberglass work done, while we went home for a few weeks. They did a fine job at a fair price. Boat was ready to go when we returned."

"Early spring Boat Works painted our boats bottom, replaced cutlass bearing and anodes. They did a fantastic job. Came and got it our of my slip, did the work in a timely manner and put it back in my slip. Good service, good price, and good communication.
