My company, PrestoRestoration.com , specializes in painting and restoring building exteriors, so I'm very particular about workmanship and attention to detail -- and I made that clear to Rodney from the start. From beginning to end, Rodney and his team were professional, communicative, and meticulous. The quality of their work was outstanding, and honestly, I'm not sure I could have done it better myself. Rodney even recommended a product and color-matched a grey that perfectly complements my hull. The end result exceeded my expectations -- the boat looks even better than before. Their pricing was fair, and I really appreciated the detailed breakdown of materials and supplies used. I highly recommend Marathon Boat Yard to anyone needing quality boat work done. Thank you, Rodney, and the entire Marathon Boat Yard team, for a job exceptionally well done. My boat looks fantastic!

We were surprised at how accommodating they were to our needs and the staff were very friendly. They found a great place for us to dock and were very helpful with their local knowledge. The marine basin is clean and well protected, a little unnerving to pull into with a 26 foot beam catamaran, but it is easier than it looks. We even saw a baby manatee that stayed around for hours. West Marine is right next door and Publix is 1.5 miles down the road, with several good restaurants nearby. The pricing is quite reasonable. We highly recommend them and would come again if boat repairs are needed.

Called Shelter Bay, they said bring it back. 4 days later we are called to pick up the whaler, along with another invoice for 997.68. After several words of disagreement on the invoices we get the whaler only to find bolts are missing in the lower unit along with no washer on others. This place is completely incompetent. At 140.00 per hour labor rate wouldn't you think someone "inspecting" would notice missing bolts and no washers on the ones they did put in. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY. IF YOUR CURIOUS OR BELIVE I'M JUST A DISGRUNTLE CUSTOMER MY INVOICES ARE POSTED, TAKE A LOOK, ALONG WITH MY "COMPLETED" SERVICE ACCORDING TO THEM! TERRIBLE COMPANY WITH NO MORALS OR VALUES, COMPLETE CROOKS IN MARATHON.

I have been a customer at Unique Marine for over two years now with not only a purchase of a new…read moreWorldCat boat but also for mobile service calls and most recently a 100 hour service call that included a checklist one would expect to have after owning a boat for 18 months. I wonder if some of these reviewers actually were customers of Unique Marine because my experience with them is totally different from the experiences they are describing. I have only had a great relationship with this company, beginning with the efforts my salesperson took after I left my drivers license at the yard and he drove all the way to Miami Airport to make sure I had an ID for my flight! (I made the flight as well as he made it to the airport in record time from Tavenier). Post purchase Unique has been very prompt with my questions and concerns and patient as they educated me on the various features of the boat. Recently I took it in for a 100 hr service and they could not have been more thorough in the process, even upgrading the systems with features that I did not have prior. They hit everything from the boat mechanics to the lights and even boat labels that had fallen off. There were a couple outstanding items where the service technician came to my house to finish and he went through the checklist again even if it wasn't required. I love my WorldCat. I knew coming in there would be issues (if you don't think there are issues on any new boat think again) and Unique was there to resolve them everytime. When I get that 2 ft disease you get with a boat I am going back to Unique to have it cured. Thank you Tracy and team!

I've owned two World Cats and can compare my experience with Ocean Blue Yacht Sales (295DC) and…read moreUnique Marine (325DC). Sales experience at both was excellent--no complaints. The boats themselves are outstanding: great in shallow water and very capable in rough seas. The difference is in service. Ocean Blue was proactive and responsive, even sending technicians to the dock for minor warranty items. That made ownership easy. Unique Marine, on the other hand, has been frustrating. While the staff is always polite, they seem unable or unwilling to provide on-site support. Multiple warranty issues--including an A/C pump, generator sensor, cabin leak, and now a breaker problem--required repeated follow-ups, with little action unless I involved World Cat directly. In several cases, I was told to bring the boat in, which is not a simple task with a 32' boat in the Keys. In one instance, I was told they couldn't help at all and had no referral. Bottom line: great boats, good sales teams--but post-sale support from Unique Marine has been disappointing. If service after the sale matters to you, take that into account before buying.

He would stop the boat and let us out to dive and he would move the boat far away and leave our people in the water to drown. He was bossy and crass. He didn't even bring his own food and water.

He would not answer, as if he was not CAPTAIN!!! He also peed on a bucket in front of all of us numerous times throughout the day and did not even care to hide his willy. Worst "captain" ever.

My experience with Angel, the owner, was a complete nightmare…read more After dropping off my boat for service, I was promised updates on costs, but communication quickly fell off. I went two weeks without any word, and when I finally heard from him four weeks later, it was an excuse about back surgery, something which he could of let me know in advanced but instead choose to ghost me. By week six, the bill was an outrageous $5,500 with no prior estimate. I paid it, hoping the repairs were done, but upon testing the boat, the motors wouldn't start. After bringing it back, I faced overheating issues and was promised a follow-up trip to ensure everything was fixed. Despite this, Angel had the audacity to send me another invoice for accompanying me to the marina. After I had gone 3x to test the boat after his "service". The prices he charged were ridiculous, and every other shop I've consulted agrees. This was my first boat, and unfortunately, I learned the hard way. I hope my experience saves someone else from making the same mistake.
