    Nathan and his team did a great job on a complete redo of the canvass on our 49 foot sailboat. They were very responsive and communicative, which we really appreciated. It looks really sharp and we've gotten a ton of compliments!

    Alex with my finished cover, looks professional and clean :-)

    Do you replace zippers? My daughter has a sail bag that has 4 zippers that need to be replaced. Thanks you…

    Hi Will, sorry we just regained access to our Yelp account! I'm sure this is too late, but yes, we replace zippers! We take care of repairs like that all the time. Hope we can help in the future!

    Hi. I am looking at getting a custom marine canvas cover made. I have made a template from a tarp which is approx 7ft x 7ft is this something you would do ? Thanks? I can send pictures of the template I made from a tarp if that helps . Thanks

    Hi Richard, sorry we just regained access to our Yelp! That is definitely something we do, but I imagine you no longer need help. Let us know if you do and we'll be happy to give you a quote! Cheers.

I had a Silverton MY 352 I was trying to sell in Coronado, CA but reside in Pensacola, FL I struggled with trying to get repairs done I needed to sell the boat. I called and flew to San Diego to find a company to do the repairs I needed. Each one I talked to said they would show up. No one ever did! Then I learned of MW and everything changed immediately. Mahlon called me back right after I called from Florida. He showed up the NEXT DAY and accessed the repairs I needed. He then laid out a game plan to take on each necessary repair and quoted costs up front. Once given the go, he kept me informed along every step of the way, providing pictures of before and after with every repair. Can't say enough about this young man and his company. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    This review should be Zero stars for FWM but they did convince me to spend a lot of money and for…read moreawhile I believed they had my best interests in mind. That was my biggest mistake. The main proprietor, Gary, seems extremely knowledgeable but it doesn't matter if he's not doing the job and there is no Quality Assurance of the work performed. Each time I received my boat back from FWM, it was a mess with oil and fluids everywhere and additional problems to follow shortly after. I repeatedly tried to trust this outfit but it was in vain. Before you use FWM, ask who is doing the work and how they will ensure quality control of the work they do. A technician sent alone to my vessel was a fluid tech from automotive field with little knowledge of the boat he was working on. Service writer is extremely nice and friendly but also a transplant from automotive. Business partner is a hot head and was incapable of reinstalling a sea water impeller which I had to do for them while they present and were being paid to work on my vessel. After performing two major services to my vessel, requiring haul-out and lengthy down-time, FWM failed to properly secure an exhaust bypass hose connected to a through-hull and the result was an engine room filled with diesel exhaust that shut off power the the turbo and rendered my vessel nearly limp in open seas under rough conditions. The culprit was two hose clamps left open after their removal of transmission for a service that may have caused additional and larger issues. The soot alone coated every inch of the engine room and ruined the fresh air intakes for two engines. Leaving the boat a mess after service is bad enough. Having additional mechanical issues on the same component after two very expensive and connected repairs is extremely coincidental. But, creating potentially catastrophic damage to a vessel off-shore and underway is negligence and should be criminal. Instead of taking any responsibility, Gary will defend this by pointing out how I lost my cool when they reported a completely damaged outrigger through saying, "I'm sure you know about this already" and then telling me "it's not our responsibility to give you the name of the person that told us". Or how I was upset when I received a lecture on "Industry Standards" after I alerted them that the tech should not start the engines without opening the raw water intakes first. I'm sure FWM feels they did the best for me. That is the scary part. They feel righteous about their work. Rather, they failed each time to even clean up after themselves, left bolts out when doing reassembly, damaged in-tact hoses during reassembly causing leaks, and failed to secure a critical exhaust hose leading to multiple issues and eventually causing a major cleanup job and replacement of expensive components. Each time FWM has defended themselves instead of doing the job right or at least providing a customer with proper info an opportunity to ask if the issues were related. Yet, still I paid and paid and even wanted them to come back and finish the job. Why? Because they were to my knowledge at the time, the only show in town and also because I believed they would make it right. Boy was I wrong. Part, service writers, and techs are not to blame here. This review lies squarely on the owners. They present a heck of a front and even take the time to write lengthly dissertations on their work but they don't follow through, check the work conducted by their junior technicians, or stand behind their mistakes. Worst experience about boating in 20+ years on the water. I have built and maintained relationships with all of FWM's surrounding vendors for years and thought this was to be the same. Instead, this experience makes me sure I will never own a vessel with similar components requiring me to work with this group again.

His knowledge about boats and issues made it simple to figure out what needed to be done in order to fix the problems I was having. The boat was having vibration issues and I was unable to rev the rpms which made it impossible for the boat to reach a normal speeds. After hauling out and pulling the shaft we needed to get a new shaft made, new prop, and just a full overhaul. I put all my trust in him and his team and ended up with better results than I could even imagine. It's like a new boat, I'm so happy. I was terrified of the final price at first but it was very fare. That's rare. Thank you Ken, Stan, Cole, and Luke. See you soon. Captain Liz Owner of Sterling Sails

    I had a very positive experience with Morton Marine Services. Initially, I was…read moreunclear about various businesses working together with Safe Harbor Marine, where I was hauling out my 33 foot sloop for bottom cleaning and painting. I advised them that I wanted two seacocks inspected and possibly replaced, as well as repacking of both the prop shaft and rudder post. Upon haulout, I was directed across the yard to Morton Marine for those engineering issues, as Safe Harbor was only handling the bottom exterior of the boat. Upon arrival, I met with Stan, who was aware of the work I had requested, and came with me to size up what was needed before the boat even left the water. He clearly understood my concerns and described a plan of action. He was certain the work would be completed within the 4 days Safe Harbor was allowing for the bottom job. Before I went home on day one, the boat was hauled and on jackstands. I was absent for day 2, but they must have hit the ground running as most of my work items were handled then. On the morning of day 3, I was back to the yard to check on progress, and found the Morton Marine employee Vadim just finishing the rudder post packing. Everything I'd asked for was done and the yard was planning for launching soon. He then told me that they had observed pin hole leaks of water from my engine exhaust hose that was next to the rudder post. I knew the hose was old, but was surprised that it was worn to the point of failure, allowing exhaust gasses into the interior of the boat, a very dangerous situation. Of course I directed that it be replaced, which was possible pierside after launching. This called for removal of a decorative panel covering a wooden box thru-way for the hose to rise vertically upward a few feet above the waterline to prevent vacuum siphoning of seawater into the engine. At this point Ken Morton (owner and ops boss) arrived and personally assisted in panel removal to ensure it was not damaged. Mine must've been the smallest job in the yard, but the attention I was getting was amazing. We then found very rusted and disintegrating stainless tubing at the top of the hose loop. Ken said he would try to find a replacement, but it might have to be fabricated (very expensive). I was resigned to the cash outlay since this was a serious safety hazard, but the next morning Ken called to advise that Stan had reminded him that a far less expensive fiberglass loop was available. Five hours later, everything was done, including Stan adjusting the prop packing gland for a proper drip rate with shaft turning ahead and astern pierside. The worksite (my galley, head, and aft cabin) was wiped down and vacuumed. Everything Vadim and Stan worked on was clean and meticulously done to the highest standards. I am very grateful to Vadim, and Stan, and Ken for their superb work and attention to a major safety issue I had missed. These are the guys I will return to for boat servicing in the future, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone needing engineering work on their boat in the San Diego area.
