Had these guys do some work in the past. Used cheap parts that eventually failed a year or two later or what they "fixed" wasn't fixed for very long. billing discrepancies, problems after boat pick up, absurd man hours for jobs, bad communication. I would not tell anyone to use them unless you want to set money on fire. They are more of a shop for people with endless money who don't questions things not the average joe. Break Out Another Thousand. Especially at marker 1

Vinny was amazing! I would highly recommend anyone to take their boat here. We were super nervous as we do all the work ourselves, but he really impressed us with his knowledge and professional nature!

Marker 1 Marine is the BEST in the area for your boat needs. The owner Mark, is absolutely professional, knowledgeable and honest. The services Marker 1 Marine offers is unbelievable. Mark came to my rescue as my boat was stalled in the water at the 10th St. dock and offered to take a look. So glad he was there to help. I've tried other mechanics in the area and none were as kind and thorough as Mark. If you are looking for storage, service, concierge services, then you only need to look at Marker 1 Marine!!! I'd give them 6 stars if Google would allow.
