I asked Robert to give me a best guess estimate of what it would cost to have my prop done. He said 700.00 to pull the boat, 400-500 to do the prop and 100 to clean the bottom. About 1200-1400 total. When I came to pick up the boat, the bill was 2730.00. But what was really odd is the way they acted. They told my wife the only way they would release the boat was to walk to town and go to an atm. They would not take any form of credit card or make any adjustment to the bill which was double their estimate. At every turn they acted oddly and couldn't even find our key and indicated that the flashlight on the key ring had to be resealed. Basically at every turn, acted like this wasn't their first rodeo. Taking advantage of someone. Our plan is to contact the city and the better business bureau with an extremely detail report of how we were definitely taken advantage of. This is the first bad review or report of this type that I've ever written. The only reason I'm taking the time time to do it in this case is because of just how obvious and intentional the inappropriate actions were in this case. Easy to see that these folks knew exactly what the plan was, had been there and done that. It's so easy to smell a rat and rats these folks were. They only wanted cash and didn't want any chance that we could hold them to their word.

Great STAFF! Everyone we interact with, from the store to the marina and docks to the service…read moredepartment is professional and pleasant. We have our boat dry docked and love the arrangement. Restrooms are spotless and well stocked. The ships store has plenty of what you need and a lot of what you want. Anytime we want to travel overland with our boat, they have gotten our boat and trailer ready for us. I love that many Shields live right at the Marina. The area always feels safe and secure. As long as we have a boat, we will keep it at Shields!
