I've owned medium-sized sailboats, 23-32', for over 25 years, and dealt with a number of yards, from Washington, DC to Long Beach and San Diego, CA, Mobile Bay and now Pensacola. Troendle Marine is at the top of my list for great service. Suzanne and John run a top-notch operation - they're knowledgeable, skilled and more than willing to work with owners on repairs, upgrades, etc. Their workers are all great. My bottom job uncovered some unexpected centerboard damage - John gave me various options for temporary and permanent repair with the pros and cons of each, and cost estimates that I learned I could truly count on. They kept me up-to-date on progress with emails and photos, and worked with me to meet my somewhat fluid schedule to get back in the water. They gave me a confidence level in their work and their pricing. Perhaps the most professional boatyard experience I've ever had, and I've worked with some good ones. And kudos to Troendle's partnership with Pensacola Shipyard for hoists and blocks - again, a great group of people who went out of their way to work with us on the centerboard issue and our ultimate re-launch. I'd recommend Troendle to anyone, and they'll definitely get my business again for future maintenance/upgrade needs. read more
