Just took delivery of a 10' AB Navigo VS today. From the outset, my interactions with Brad, Jessica and today, Phil (who delivered the boat), were nothing short of great. Brad followed through on the timeline to get the boat, motor and installation completed and delivered as promised. Jessica was always a pleasure to deal with on the phone and answered all my questions during my calls. Phil, who delivered the boat, was very thorough in going over the operation of the boat, motor, maintenance and accessories. All in all is was a smooth transaction and I was pleased with the final result. Great job! read more

He told me that he would have to charge half the value of the boat & I would be stupid to spend it, I drove away , found materials & fixed it in two 1 hour sessions. cost me $70. read more

shoty wiring job and very weak patches that will come off and when they do come off they will not fix their terrible work, they will also sell you motors saying their 2023 even tho their 2019s that have been sitting on the shelf for years, the owner is a scum bag, and when they sell used motors or boats they will do the bare minimum work too get it out the door so it'll break later when you use it instead of in their shop read more

If you need service done on your inflatable boat, Suncoast Inflatables are the folks to call. I bought my 11' tender in Key Largo many years ago, and have needed service several times, mostly cracks in the fiberglass bottom due to the way I carry it on my boat, and gunk in the engine as sometimes months go by without me using the boat. Every time I've engaged them they've fixed my problem and got me on my way. They even performed a conditioning of my dinghy and made it look like new. They're not cheap, but they get the job done. The biggest trick is getting them to pick up the dinghy. You'll need to take it to a ramp somewhere, which might prove challenging if the dinghy is leaking water or if the engine isn't working. They sell dinghys and have several in their showroom, but I haven't bought one from them. My dinghy is starting to show its age, and if I decide to replace it I will most definitely be giving these guys a call. read more

They fixed a big patch on my dinghy and a couple of peeling seams. Friendly helpful staff. The work is holding up nicely.

Our experience recently purchasing a new AB Mares VSX10 inflatable couldn't have been better. We spoke with Brad, the owner of the business several times, just considering a new dinghy and never once got the "hard sell", but just discussed our options. Once we narrowed down our choices, based on the capability of a custom davit we already have on our boat, we choose the dinghy best suited for us. When we visited the store, Brad had some very good ideas about some options available to us that we hadn't even considered, and didn't increase the cost much. Our decision to buy was right after the Ft. Lauderdale Boat show and Brad was very fair in his pricing. We believe he really took care of us in that regard. We visited the shop twice once the dinghy started getting rigged. I like to make sure that things go the way that I anticipate, and it was comforting to find out that Brad and his crew possess a great attention to detail. Our boat was delivered on the day as promised to us. Yes, there was a couple of minor hiccups, but they were easily rectified in a matter of minutes. All of our paperwork was delivered to us in order, and Jessica, in the office was very helpful and professional. As far as the dinghy goes, we are very happy with it and our choice in the model was a perfect fit for us. We could not be happier with our experience with this business and the staff there, as well as the owner. It's nice to know we'll have people to depend upon if we have any problems with our dinghy or the motor in the future. read more

First off, I am a licensed boat broker and deal with many marine companies but this was the first time I went to Suncoast. I normally sell boats between 30-80ft, not inflatables. This boat was bought as a tender or dingy for a larger yacht. I did not disclose this to Suncoast when I brought it in so I was just another customer. I took this inflatable boat into Suncoast for an estimate on repairing or replacing the tubes on a 2004 14ft inflatable center console. They charge a $85-$90 dollar fee for looking it over, which is fair enough. If they do the repair the fee goes towards the repair. I spoke to Brad to get the scoop on what needed to be done and he was so incredibly rude and nasty I could hardly believe it. He yelled at me the entire time I was on the phone with him and said my boat was a piece of crap, it was garbage. I could not believe he was saying this! I never raised my voice, because I knew better, and any time I tried to talk to ask a question he cut me off as if I was wasting his time. He said it was sitting in the water for years, which was a total exaggeration because it had only been a few months. Mind you, I brought it in for repairs on the tubes, or replacement, the rest of the boat is in good condition, new motor, new seat cushions, new fish finder, new everything however it did need a bath. There were a few barnacles between the hull and the tubes and I can understand that challenge however, he did not need to yell and carry on like a mad man. I took two hours and removed them all myself with a plastic scraper and some barnacle buster, it was no big deal. If he didn't want the work because he was too busy after a boat show then he should just say that nicely and move on. Instead he criticized and yelled as if I put him out because he was too busy. I never raised my voice but I finally had enough and told him he was being rude and to stop yelling. At that, he yelled more and told me to pick up my boat. Boy, I did with pleasure!!! This guy is ready to pop and I wouldn't want to be around when he does! When I got there, my brand new lower unit had scrapes and nicks and of course, no before pictures when I brought it in so I will not only have to eat that expense but also the original $85-$90 for him looking at it and then yelling at me. All I can say is, if you like abuse, this is your place. If you like professionals, go down to the inflatable place in south St Petersburg where you get treated like a real human being and professional. I had the work done and it is perfect. Suncoast just lost out on a SIX THOUSAND dollar sale for hypalon tubes that bought from someone else! In addition, I surely would not refer a customer to them! read more
