Needed a replacement cowl for my old outboard. Good friend of mine recommended D&R so I gave them a call. They told me they had a couple different ones and were sure one would fit. Quoted me a price on the phone that was reasonable, so I headed to Rodeo. Got there and showed them my motor. Was fixed up with the right cowl in a few minutes and got a little education about my motor as a side benefit. Price came in a bit lower than I was quoted. Can't ask for better service than that. read more

Good people with great advice,thank you Dwane and Dave ,have had much needed support and help from experienced professionals who know what they're doing read more

Fantastic boat mechanics! High quality, fair pricing, efficient, technically sound and know how to take care of the customer. I have owned many boats over the years and dealt with my fair share of boat mechanics but I have not found my "go to place" for my 2022 Jeanneau NC 695 outboard and 2013 Cobalt R-5 I-O. Jacob and Dan. Outstanding team! My boat has never run better! read more

Rudy use to own ODay. Really the final word on ODay sailboats. Lots of parts in stock and invaluable insight. A treasure for ODay owners. Plus the prices are very fair! read more

Nice folks run it. Very knowledgeable. Respectful Been doing business with em fir a few yrs now They could do better with phone calls being answered .oops, my bad, they close on mondays. Enjoy read more

I can't say enough about Duane , Rhonda and Dan . I've been going to D&R Marine for over 20 years and Dwayne has always been professional , knowledgeable, courteous, honest and fair.I don't trust anyone else with my boat they genuinely care ,which is rare these days! They work hard to get you back on the water Reeni (volvo) read more

I have been trying to reach these guys by phone and email for two days. I tried ordering directly through the site and after going through all the questions; it comes back with a 505 Error code. This is on two separate items by the way. Phone is not answered, voicemail is full; what a joke. I saw on the different boards that these guys were pitifully bad, but I had to find out for myself. However, they made me a believer. If I do hear from them at some point and there is a logical reason for the poor business practices, I will remove this review. Everyone is entitled to make things right. We'll see what happens. As I said I would adjust this review if I ever heard from D&R; well, I did. a few days later a Rudy returned my call, took my order and shipped my parts same day. I received them quickly and the parts were perfect. So I changed my review to an Okay status as once I reached them, they performed perfectly. Fair is fair when it comes to reviews. read more

Can't get a better and honest service more than D&R Marine. They had re-seal my lower unit for my Mercury Optimax 135, they did a great job and were quick too! My boat was ready in 1 day. Very appreciate you guys thanks a lot. Will definitely back for future maintenance. read more

Tried them out based on other reviews and a recommendation. Took my 90 hp Mercury in with a serious issue running ruff if at all but not every time it was started. They checked it out and couldn't duplicate the problem but did some other needed maintenance as I requested. Took the boat out and it ran well for a while then the problem repeated itself. Took it back and they did some further diagnoses and fixed it. Turned out to be a sporadically bad solenoid fuel valve not readily accessible. I was only charged for the part on the second visit. I now have a place to take my boat and outboard. read more

I called Richie on Tuesday. He didn't call back until the next day and he said he was too busy to help me. However, he did finally make the time for me and did a good job and was knowledgable. However, I have used him since and he has been very unreliable. I think with mobile boat mechanics, this is kinda the norm but its still frustrating. He does know his job but needs to be more together. read more

old school boatyard, who has , or can get most any part you need. I have been coming to Dwaine for many years for parts, and still do, even now that I have moved to San Jose, because there are no more shops like this in the bay area with parts in stock for old boats. Awesome place. read more

I've know Dwaine for over 20 years, He never let me down. I used to have an 1970 Coyote and he done everything to it including selling to a local guy for me. he worked on my 1994 Sea Ray Special Edition since day one. His team is one of the greatest boat mechanics i've ever known. these guys bend over backward to help you and hook you up. If you own a personal water craft or a boat this place is a must - very reasonable - this is not a dealer. they know what they are doing. Dwaine has an incredible memory. Cannot wait to get back on the lake... read more

I just got my boat back from Dwayne, Excellent deal on a special order part from Lake X (Mercury Racing). Took it out yesterday and runs strong. I highly recommend D&R for you're marine needs. I have been coming here for 20 years and am always treated very well. 21' Eliminator Extreme tunnel,with Pro Max 300. read more

D & R Marine - The Rocketship. - Boating Near Me - Rodeo, California

See all

These guys are the best! I've had to take a couple boats here and they charged much less then other companies estimates. They also are much faster then other companies. And to top it off, they didn't " just fix " my boat, they went through the entire thing making sure it was safe and ran good. I'm a forever customer! read more

Good people, great service. I would recommend them for all your outboard mechanical needs. Outstanding place.

When called in for oil change was told that no appointment available in nearest future. And was offered to come in anyhow for the instructions how to change it myself. Changing oil on my car all the time I decided why can't I change it on my boat motor. So, I stoped by and was very pleased with my visit. Spoke with Duanne and was given good info. Thank you. Will definitely use this shop in the future for my boat needs. read more

Dwayne and his guys really know what they're doing. Highly reccomended!

I've been here a few times, they do great work Dwaine fixed our boat after we purchased it. The jerk who sold us the boat sold it to us with a blown exhaust manifolds and leaking seals. He has our boat in top shape, he always fixes our boat issues. One tip, make sure to schedule with time, these guys get busy . read more

This was my second time dealing withand D&R and i thought I could count on him since he did a good job but on the second boat not so good pretty bad after having my boat 7 months and charging me a pretty penny the first time i take the boat on the water everything worked fine for 30 sec when my engine started sputtering managed to get back to dock after checking fuel filter found out it was full of crud so thinking that might be a oversite i clean out gas tank and replace filter take it back to water and boat runs good for about 10 minutes sputters out and wont start again had to be towed in this to me is unacceptable after 7 mo and a pretty penny I would think my boat would be in order really mixed feelings about this place don't like the fact that D&R had me stranded on the water not good read more

I can't say enough good things about D&R Marine. Duane has been in the boat repair game since 1973 and knows his boats. I brought him an out drive that nobody else in the area would work on (OMC 225). They were backed up with work for several weeks but offered me to bring the boat down, they would pull the out drive, repair it and reinstall it back on the boat when they were finished with it. The next closest shop I could find to work in it was in Elk Grove. They performed the repair just as promised and kept all the old parts to show me when I came back. Duane and Dan were very friendly both times I was there. I wouldn't take my boat anywhere else for repairs. read more

Excellent place. They did a wonderful job of bringing my 1971 six cylinder Mercury outboard back to life. I am enjoying my boat again.

We have known Dwaine for 35 Years. If you need anything for your boat... I mean anything... He is the man to call.

The people at D & R Marine are good people, friendly and honest. Because of this they are usually pretty busy. With a little patience you'll get excellent service and parts at fair price. read more

Awesome place! the guys have a right attitude and they know what they are doing! they have a good inventory of accessories will definitely go back for my boat services! read more

I called back in October 2015 to make an appointment to service my boat. I gave them my model number so they could order parts. I brought my boat in to get service in November. When I arrived they were surprised and we're not expecting me. Dwaine told me it would be done the next day, Tuesday. I called on Thursday and was told the parts hadn't come in yet. I called again on Saturday and the guy on the phone was rude and told me the same thing, parts hadn't come in yet. He told me it didn't matter to him if I just picked up my boat, which I did. So I took my business else where... read more
