Excellent yard! We were hauling to put our boat up for sale and they were booked up for a week. We mentioned to Carl that there was weather on our scheduled date and we were traveling. As soon as there was a cancellation he called and fit us in. The guys in the yard were awesome. Totally customer focused. They even helped us unload everything off the boat on the hard with a forklift. What I liked most was they managed expectations and then exceed them. Thanks Guys!

Carl and his team are honest, fair, professional and on time. They communicate clearly, they honor what they say and stay on the budget provided. Although I've only posted a few reviews in my life, I especially appreciate the professionalism of Carl Humbert and his team at Elite Marine Specialists.

Carl and his team took my 1977 Irwin 52' (no relation to boat builder) for a below-the-waterline refit. Everything below the waterline was made new, efficient, and safe; making her into a modern vessel, ready to go anywhere. Note: It takes time to do this kind of work and it also costs money, but it is worth it- all workmanship, materials, and connections are top notch.

Carol fit me in his schedule so i could take off for the keys on time. He was very knowledgeable and his crew did a great job. I highly recommend elite marine specialists. They did a bottom job, installed new props, underwater lights, replaced drain lines from the cockpit to the through hulls, diagnosed diesel engine problems quickly that complete yacht services in ft Lauderdale couldn't figure out. Thank you so much!

Elite Marine replaced my electronics on an lightning strike insurance claim last summer. They did an excellent job installing the Raymarine equipment. I recently had a problem with the windspeed indicator. I took my boat to them. Elite and SSMR installed a new transducer and wiring resolving the issue. Nice job!

The staff here was knowledgeable and for the most part helpful. I can’t give five stars as they absolutely forbid you to do anything on your boat while it’s in their yard despite the fact that I carry my own insurance. I can pretty easily recommend the yard to others as long as you have no intention of doing any of the work you want done to your boat on your own.

I had one of my catamaran's engine replaced by my mechanic, who chose to do the work at Elite's boatyard, with SSMR's (nearby rigging company) crane truck. While the boat was at Elite, I had them remove davits, an outboard motor mount, and a wind generator pole from the transom. They gave me an estimate to remove that stuff, and to patch the holes. This is the first boatyard I've experienced that actually did their work correctly, on schedule, and at the estimated price. They were very easy to work with, and accommodating of my schedule. Highly recommend.

I have a bertram 31 project boat and elite marine did some of the work restoring it.They did a great job refurbishing the items on my boat. they custom made parts and installed them , beautiful fiberglass work . they are absolutely the best source to restore an old bertram or any boat. They are the most helpfull guys in sharing knowledge and doing things right. Quality work, fair prices, and great service. I highly reccomend them for any yacht work from motors repairs to full restoration.

I had a busted outboard engine motor bracket on my sailboat and other marine services repair shops in the area were difficult about fixing it. Which is OK because the result was walking into Elite and describing the situation to them, the problem was resolved. They have a professional friendly staff, very courteous, articulate. It was the repair service I had envision when I started my quest. Thier rates are more competitive than the other repair services in the area. They can do all types of work jobs big or small. They offered only solutions and they followed through. If seeking a repair service
