Purchased a boat from a seller near by & I really really needed to have the engines put on a computer it was last minute & they accommodated it. After the survey worked out I hired them to do the full 300 hour service. What an awesome job. The boat was immaculate , the whole yard & shop is so nicely kept
I dealt with Sean & Gary & were both knowledgeable & professional mechanics. Definitely Wouk be my go to place if I live around here.

Absolutely the best! They saved our vacation time on the water. Outboard & electrical issues on our first day in Marathon. I stopped in hoping to see if they could take a look at the issues. Very friendly and genuine welcome and desire to help me get back on the water. Incredibly knowledgeable about Mercury & Yellowfin so I knew I was in good hands after discussing the issues. Brought the boat to them via water and everyone I came in contact with on the dock and in the yard was very friendly and asking how they could help. They traced the electrical issues in a matter of hours and the boat was

This place is excellent. I called on Friday afternoon with a Mercury 150 that would not go in gear Jeff & Sean said “bring it in and we’ll take a quick look. No guarantees”. We took our boat there and they pulled the lower unit, diagnosed the problem and had it fixed in 30 minutes. 5 star service. Thank you guys. Your the best!

Apparently new ownership has done nothing to help the image of this business. I stopped in to inquire about a boat for sell that was listed at $23,500. When I came back 2 hours later the boat sign was gone and he stated it is now $25,000. I still had serious interest in the boat so he offered to drop it in the water and let us test it out. I tried to push for same day test as we are serious about this boat, he pushed it off and scheduled for next day at 8 am. My wife and I show up at 8am this morning only to be told that the boat was sold yesterday. “A man came in a paid full price” Gary said

We arrived in Marathon late Thursday only to find an oil leak from the motor. We called Shelter Bay early Friday morning. I explained that we were in Marathon for just a couple of days and asked if they could take a quick look at the motor. They gladly agreed and asked me to bring the boat to their shop. Within minutes the service manager determined that my oil filter had developed a pinhole leak. He offered to change it in their parking. Within 15 minutes we had paid and we’re back on our way, Great service and Keys hospitality!

I have been dealing with shelter bay for over 2 years for a couple of my boats. Tip is my main point of contact and has never let me down. Work is performed on time, prices are competitive and the boats are returned spotless.

We had great service and they went beyond the expected and drove my husband back to our house because the seas were high & the winds were blowing too hard for the return trip.

They towed our boat in there, and did a good job. But charged basically $2800 and over 2 months to tell us that the motor was junk. You would think that 4 certified yamaha mechanics would be able to diagnose the motor was junk in a couple of hours. The oil was full of metal and the crank spun a bearing. I would not recommend them. I would try riva motorsports, or take your boat to miami.

Awesome customer service! Let me start by saying that a buddy of mine and I trailered my boat from Virginia three days ago and we were only here for 9 more days. I was having trouble with one of the engines stalling on my boat. “Tip”, found a service bulletin on the symptoms I was having, he let me copy the bulletin and gave me great advice on how to fix my problem. Everyone there seemed very eager to help knowing the circumstances we had. Thank you Shelter Bay Marina for all your help.

I brought my running boat there for a high rpm problem, $1500.00 later, got it back (not running), with wrong flywheel stuck on. A new stator that was not needed. Manager said they used an impact on the flywheel, grinding metal and cockeyed, carbs leaking. RTV inside carbs and all over everything, spark plug wires on wrong.
Stay away!!!!
