This place is a real piece of work. They had my boat for over 8 months, charged me for parts and…read morelabor never preformed, and never fixed it. For several months I remained patient and listened to their constant excuses. I heard everything from waiting on a parts to, the mechanic is hunting, the mechanic is racing boats, to this boat is not repairable. It seemed the folks there were more into their hobbies rather than turning a profit. After 8 months I finally got the call it was fixed. I was so excited to pick it up, I did not inspect the work. After getting the boat home, I start looking over the receipt to see what took 8 months to fix. I see I was charged for new fuel line and installation... the fuel line had mildew on it and was not new. I was charged for a new fuel water separator, the old one with grease marks and paint chipping was still on my boat. I immediately called and left a voice mail in outrage after hours. I get a call back from Chris and we get into a cussing fight on the phone. He tells me to meet him in the morning at the shop. When I get there he still refused to admit that he did not do any type of service on this boat. I asked about the fuel water separator and the fuel line and he gave me some BS about he knows the fuel line is new because its grey? He didn't even know what to say about the fuel water separator and blamed it on "mechanics that work for him". It sounded like a load of dog crap to me. He was only able to get the motor to run off an external tank in his bay at the shop. We agreed that I wanted him to make the motor run off the fuel tank in the hull. He never could. I was charged for parts and labor totaling roughly $1100 and still did not have a boat that could run on the water. The boat was an '08 with around 100 hrs. I got him to agree to a partial refund totaling no more than $300. Total cheapskate. I shouldn't of let this place get away that easy. I guess he was worries about the extra $800 going towards his boat racing rather than keeping a customer. I hope this comment affects them much more than the $800 I felt was robbed from me. This place is a scam. You have been warned.

Price for live shrimp is a bit more expensive than the competitors, but they did have them available when others didn't. Location is not off the feeder, but you just need to make a right off feeder. Entrance has a ramp going up, but you don't need to go down a ramp as the live wells are on the ground floor. You just need to go up the ramp to pay, head down to get the bait, and then head out around the other side of the building.

We went in and got some amazing pictures. Then a rude person who called himself the Executive Assistant of the Director came out and basically accused us of trespassing. He treated us as if we were interlopers and made it clear that no one can come in unless they are part of an institution and we were not welcome there. We would never have come in if we weren't invited. We're an older couple and didn't deserve to be treated so rudely. We've passed the building a lot of times and now will think of this rude individual and look away in the future.

It's definitely peaceful, and it took my group 30 minutes to get from the start point (around The Kitchen at the Dunlavy) to Sabine Street on the day we went. It was exhausting but definitely worth the effort and price. The service was fantastic. They were super helpful, which was awesome since most of the people in my party were first-timers! I highly recommend this experience; kayaking was such a blast today!
