So what’s the purpose of this blog? It’s not for profit… not for spite… you’ll never see an ad and it won’t be used to gain favor.
It’s about accountability in the Marine Services business.
I wanna tout the honest professionals and out the ne’er-do-wells. I’m gonna post my experiences with these companies and individual contractors in the posts of this blog. My intent is to express my opinions and recount my experiences in short narratives; relating the work, attitude, and overall experience while dealing with these marine services companies as we travel and find them necessary.
Within the posts of this blog anyone, including the subjects of praise or the opposite of, can make comments that are in agreement with my opinions or not. Fellow boaters who have had good or bad experiences can share them here. Every boater that keeps a blog should do the same thing. Speak up! Word of mouth is cool, but our words will carry further online. Maybe we will find more positives than negatives and share those experiences and contacts for our common good.
This can be a good thing, could be fun.
Please make your opinions known and comment here… publicly or anonymously, they’ll show in the comment section.
We’ll see what happens.
Here’s to safe and happy cruises,
Cheers,
Bob
We pulled into AYB last year on our way down from the Chesapeake expecting to stay for a night before heading south. Then Mel got news that her mother was having health issues so she had to hop on a plane and leave Radar and I to fend for ourselves. My friend Peter had […]
We are truly disgusted with the job done by Chase Camacho and Florida Yacht Interiors. After 3 tries in 6 months to properly fabricate these seat cushions correctly, we got tired of often having no seats to sit on, of FYI not meeting deadlines; frustrated with our seats, again, coming back misshapen and not fitting, […]
Update: 4/25/14 Legacy Harbour has just allowd onSpot wifi to install a great WiFi hotspot. This marina is now broadcasting a very strong signal all around the marina. If you’re pass through and want to stay at a first class marina with incredibly fast internet delivered wirelessly to your boat, Legacy is the place. […]
We’ve been working with Andy Hegley and Nordhavn SE for almost 10 years now and they have always been good folks. Before and after the sale of Istaboa. We were a brokerage boat and Andy had found me such a good deal that there wasn’t much profit for Nordhavn, but they still treat us the […]
Can’t really say anything bad about Ryon, the owner and operator of RG Marine, except he rarely returns his calls. Ryon called me a few weeks ago and introduced himself, seems James Knight of Yachtech had mentioned to him that we wanted an Isolation Transformer installed, he seemed a personable enough fellow and was quoting […]
Already written about this marina. It’s truly a unique little Shangri-La in Central FL. We have a very high opinion of Rialto and the folks who own and operate it. Check the link. Rialto
Clean, professional, and a state of the art facility. I’ve already written this review. Had a great experience and will go back when I need them. Click here… River Forrest
We’ve been using Barnacle Buster Palm Beach for a couple of years and yes they’re kind of pricey, but going with, “you get what you pay for” logic I never questioned their price or their work. The young fellow who had dived on Istaboa seemed competent and he always showed up like […]
