This place has done quite a few things for me and it seems the owner Katrina does not check up behind her employees. They installed a new bilge pump and forgot to plug it in and almost sank my Yellowfin Boat! I called and she acted as if it was no big deal and blew me off! And just last week I was offshore 35 miles and noticed smoke coming for the bilge area! Picked the hatch up to a cloud of smoke! Come to find out when they installed the new washdown pump the wires weren’t sealed and connected properly and burned up the washdown pump and it was mounted right next to the fuel line! Could’ve

We recently took our boat to Abel's Marine to have a new trolling motor installed. Their service was extremely courteous and professional. The installation was performed with blazing speed. Every aspect of our experience with Abel's far exceeded our expectations. It was so refreshing to learn that a Florida business can provide exemplary customer service. We will never go anywhere else. Thank you Abel's Marine.

Highly recommend for repairs if you want excellent quick & professional service. Had to bring my Minn Kota trolling motor here for a warranty repair twice. Based on my experience with other repair places in the area, combined with covid I was not expecting to be back on the water again soon but they did an awesome job of quickly repairing my motor within a week in both situations. I didn’t even miss a weekend of fishing. Thank you Abel for your fast and professional service.

It was a beautiful day and we were looking forward to our boat ride. But we had a problem with our ignition switch and we were unable to start our boat. Luckily, Marcus, an Abel's Marine technician, was at our marina servicing boats. Marcus took some unscheduled time out of his day to assist us and very capably took the component out, fixed the issue, reinstalled the switch and we were on our way . What a blessing - professional, courteous and knowledgeable!! Thank you Marcus and Abel's Marine for coming to the rescue!!

Waste of time and money
Paid for a service that immediately failed after one trip on boat
called to confront them & the owner was extremely rude and said for me to sell my boat.
Also they lost my hydrofoil that was on the boat and just lied and said I never had one complete lack of respect and accountability would never recommend. Out of $1200 of service I might as well have just thrown the money in the trash

I dropped my boat off to have a water pump and belt installed. I was told they would get to it in a couple of days. It took over a month to get the work done. During this time I stopped by to check on my boat and was told the mechanic was too busy to talk to me. I got my boat back and found damage to my trailer/pole light, the bilge pump switch left on which burned up a brand new pump and the boat plug left in. This was done during rainy season so the boat was full. At a $100/hour this was not a good experience.

These folks are wonderful!! We tried to set out for a day of fishing only to discover our boat engine battery was dead. We thought we'd swing by Abel Marine to see if they could help. And help they did! They were able to switch out our battery and let us know we had the wrong type of battery in the first place. They cleaned all the connections, made sure the battery was strapped down safely and we were good to go in under an hour!! Thank you Abel Marine you definitely have our business and we would definitely recommend them!!

Vacationing near by and had some Honda boat engine troubles. Called Abel's to see if they had parts in stock - both Katrina and Tony were most helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Their expertise and good old fashioned honesty got us up and running (over the phone) within minutes. Thank you for saving our vacation and not selling us parts we didn't actually need.
