Garrett's Marina is top notch; if you want to be treated like you are part of a family than come to…read moreGarrett's for your boating needs. Here's some background on our experience. My wife and I bought a boat from Louis and Sonia in spring 2019 and we are very thankful that we did. When we decided that we wanted to buy a boat, one of our requirements was to buy a boat from someone that we could trust and someone that would continue to be there for us after we bought a boat. Obviously buying the right type of boat was the most important, but since we are first time boaters this was important to us. One day my family decided that we check out key west boats at Garrett's. Up until this point we had been looking at every dealership in the area and wanted a center console boat, narrowed it down to a few models. We spent a entire day at the marina looking at boats, did a sea trial, and ended up buying a key west center console. During the entire sales process, Louis was a straight shooter. He went over everything about our boat, what we need and don't need and what not to waste our money on. The boat buying process was simple and Louis and Sonia took care of us during the entire process. The day we picked up our boat we did a sea trial and Louis went over everything about the boat. I felt comfortable and later that day we drove our boat out of the marina and continue to love our key west! I still call and email Louis all the time with questions and he promptly returns my phone calls, even after hours!!!! Highly recommend that you come to Garrett's for the following: buying boats, boat service needs, and boat storage. If you want to be treated like family than come to Garrett's.

Unless you have months to wait for your boat and have no regard for your money go someplace else…read more There are many boaters who do drop off their boats for six months and are happy to spend excessively on boat maintenance but if this is not what you want do not go to this business. There is not much competition in the area and I have gone here twice. Both times were for 2 week or less jobs that ended up being over 2 months. Rain, holidays, sick employees are all excuses for delayed work. This is an hourly business and a task that should take one or two hours will appear on the invoice as a ten or twelve, or more, hour tasks. Tasks where a power tool could be used will be done with a hand tool. Think hack saw instead of reciprocating saw and picture two employees operating the hacksaw at one time. It really happened! Your boat will be dirty, inside and out, when you finally get it back. Vendors who come in to do wax and bottom jobs are good and work very quickly and use time saving electric and pneumatic tools. Check everything before leaving. Look for tools and parts in the bilge. Check that everything works correctly like bow thruster pushes in the right direction and not rigged backwards. The invoice has been a jaw dropper both times. About a 30% charge above whatever a generous estimate would be for the work. The hour totals are unbelievable, if true then there is a very serious time management issue or there are integrity issues. I checked progress on the boat every other day based on my first experience and did not see the effort match the hours on the invoice. Little to no communication re the pace or work unless you initiate it. The yard is organized and customers are allowed to work on their boats while here, which is nice, but your boat will be there for a long time. Address every issue, delay, or questionable time management and status of your invoice frequently during the process because once the invoice is written the owner is not open to a discussion and will resort to the old chestnut "if I give you a discount, then do I have to give everyone a discount" as a response to a question about charging 24 hours of work to remove one part. Avoid this business if you plan to boat in the same year you want to get work done.

There's a boat ramp and small fishing pier here. No fee for fishing (been coming here for years)…read moreand none that I can tell for launching your boat either. They've gotten stricter in recent years in regards to where and when you could fish. In the good old days you could fish near and even under the bridge, and even stay overnight. You are no longer allowed to fish on the side of the road near the bridge (or underneath it). The pier closes at dusk but you can still overnight across the road. My father and I used to come here often to catch spot but the last few times the fishing has been so slow.
