I recently brought boat my 28 foot Grady White to Shawn for soda blasting removal of barnacles and…read morebottom paint. Shawn did the initial soda blasting and I was so impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail that I had him continue to work on the rest of the gel coat making the needed repairs and repainting. It is rare that you find a craftsman that performs work like the boat was his own. Shawn did what he said he was going to do and when he was going to do it. If you have ever had any experience with the boat industry, you know that can be a rare characteristic. My boat bottom now looks like it is brand new. If you have any follow up questions you can e-mail me at Swalker345@aol.com and I will provide you my phone number for further questions.

Nice guy, but just not gonna get the job done. Hired him at 120 an hour to do a Painless wire…read moreharness install. After nearly 2k and numerous cancellations, no shows and a lot of frustration and two months, I was left with some wires pulled through the firewall. He asked me to order parts which I did. They were all wrong: Pitman arm and ignition module had to be bought again because they were incorrect parts. The first day he arrived his truck leaked a lot of oil all over my driveway and I spent an hour cleaning it. Unfortunately a total waste of time and money. I don't think he's dishonest, I just think he's inept. After review of his response I have made additions: see fotos and the dates in the screenshots. This response was totally unacceptable and to blame me for this lack of professionalism is just plain wrong! See the dates and fotos. This truck is a 140k truck with some needs to I wanted addressed. It needs a few parts like you'll see in the chat! This wasn't a customer scorned. I just wanted my truck fixed !!! This of you that have been scammed and strung along by a mechanic will understand!!!! See the screenshot with cancellations and change dates. This was chronic cancellations and changes. I missed work one day. In fact, I even gave him my code to the garage to accommodate him. But, too much is too much. I couldn't justify paying him for constantly uncertainty. I can do this all day. Let me start by the metadata claim.... These are screen shots take the day of this posting genius....look at the dates in the chat. The parts you said I choose cheaper parts of lower quality ... see the new screen shots where you told me to purchase the specific parts and I did. You have disgraced yourself and lied and it's here in black and white with your chat. Also, pay attention to the dates that you told me to purchase and my response was I got them. You say you had no role which parts I purchased which is an absolute falsehood! It's in black and white. I have the chats here that you directed me to purchase certain items and I did! Highly customized? It's a totally stock 302 Ford Motor. The truck is a complete original and stock. The claim about a Latin America Truck is laughable. Is he a mechanic or a comedian? It was manufactured in the USA for Latin America and Canada. Know why? It has a speedometer in KM and hour. Yah the speedometer is in metric KM. Any novice can see that in the foto. My gosh! As for your cancellations and late shows. Look at 1 of numerous screen shots where you cancelled after I waited all day. In fact, I had to text you and ask "guess you're not showing?" I believe that was the day I didn't go to work and waited all day for you. Another falsehood that you claim all cancellations were done in Advance. See it in the screenshot You're deceit and lack of candor this will only make you look even more unprofessional. Keep editing, I'll keep posting the truth. I'm awaiting for an apology. BTW - having a couple friends make 5 star reviews the day I call you out isn't fooling anyone. They can see the dates and the lack of activity on their accounts. You had 2, 5 star ratings and nothing ore when I hired you... should have been the red flag to stay away. Now you have several with no depth and 3 of them posted within a couple hours of each other yesterday .

Zach kept my previous pain in the a** jet boat in top shape and currently maintains my stern drive bow rider. He truly is the yoda of boats. He even has a fiberglass guy that professionally repaired a hole in the hull and painted it, after I had a mishap with a dock. If you want a team that will treat you like family, and your boat like their own, your search ends with them. They will work on anything from your dinghy to your yacht with unparalleled skill and efficiency, and at a rate that is better than those with much less skill. I don't write reviews often but felt compelled to due to their consistent excellent customer service and workmanship. Thanks Zach and Janee for restoring my belief that you can still receive outstanding customer service and expert workmanship, while receiving a great price at the same time!

I found Bruce Harris, owner of Steadfast Marine and I just can't say enough about this guy and his staff (Bruce's wife and her twin sister take care of the business end and keep Bruce in check ).

No bullshit: They communicate like true professionals and they know their shit! Good luck finding that in S Florida, or anywhere these days. Quality work: Best I've seen.

We booked a time 6 months in advance at Shearwater Ft.Pierce to have them put our new hardtop on…read moreour 43 ft sailboat..We called them a week before we got there to our Marina at Safe harbor to verify it was still a go. We arrived at our marina and went to the office 3 days before we were scheduled for them to put on our new hardtop and made sure there was anything else we needed to do. The day we got our boat into our reserved slip for Shearwater to work on the 3 employees were arguing with one another, didn't have the right tools and then Tom suddenly tells us he has to leave at 2pm which was 2 hours later and we had just started.They lift operator then suddenly tells us that he was only available until 1pm because he had another job to do. Instead of us being able to pull our boat in the reserved slip we booked for an allotted time and walking away and them calling us when it was done...They had us helping and reading directions to the guy with the tools..Then they tied off our sailboat to the chain link fence instead of the cleats.. At one point Tom said asked if we would be able to help them carry our hardtop down the dock and place it on our sailboat that way since they weren't going to be able to finish in the reserved time they told us it would be..we looked at Tom like he'd lost his mind. It was a complete nightmare..we are not customers with unrealistic expectations at all, but when we paid a lot of money for the job to be done right and made sure well in advance that everything was alright with the date, the time, and what we would need to do this turned out to be an awful experience.We had been told before that Shearwater was not a good place to get work done on your boat and most people we talked to didn't have a good experience. We always like to give people the benefit of the doubt. After Shearwater went one hour over our allotted slip time we thought it was completed.We realized after they were specifically shown and marked where the supports are placed and where to drill ...they ended up drilling into the wrong spot. This was April.It took Shearwater until June to fix where they drilled and placed one of the supports in the wrong spot...They were back and forth down our pier while they were attempting to fix the support for the hardtop.. After talking with the manager and calling numerous times as well as going to the office and letting them know that we were extremely disappointed in what should have taken 3 hours to complete ended up taking them almost 3 months to complete. We weren't going to pay for repairing what they did wrong after it was specifically marked. They did not charge us for their mistake. We will never use them again. Tom is not good for that business. He never answers your phone calls,texts, and makes appointments and promises he never keeps. We wanted to give him one more chance by paying him to do a small fiberglass repair on our sailboat. Well every time we would go talk to him he would promise to come do the job. This went on for about 3 months until we finally gave up. We know everyone has different experiences with Shearwater but we wanted to make people aware of the horrible experience we had with them. We are people who always make sure we're prepared for any projects we need done and we do not put unrealistic expectations on people and businesses either. We just expect to have a business communicate regularly with us when we pay for services. We expect a business to make repairs on anything they messed up.We expect honesty. We've always said the best advertisement for a business is word of mouth.If you use Shearwater good luck.
