Chris and Crew are one of the best repair shops in town…read more They know I fish when I can not when I want to so I am confident to shoot across the Bay or down to the Jetties after the service and maintain my boat. They only do quality repairs here, but you get what you pay for! TK 77573

I brought my boat to Gulf Coast Marine in March of 2024 to get an oil leak fix and the tune…read moreadjusted at the recommendation of my engine builder. After discussions with David he advised he hoped to have the oil leak fixed in 2 weeks and would then start on the tune. He ended up taking until July to get the oil leak fixed. I would never hear from him and it got to I would phone every day to speak with him to be told he would call me back and he never would. About every 6 weeks I would catch him on the phone and he would advise he had to get his big money customers to Desert Storm, Outlaw Shootout, or some other event and then he would get back to my boat. The fact that I like to use my boat as well was lost on him apparently. After July 4th he started on the tune and again I would never hear from him minus the usual having to get people to other boating events. I ended up getting my engine builder to call David to get him moving and that helped. David would work on the tune but could not get it right. I ended up getting advised that the boat was fine except for the tune and to take it to a tuner. When I picked the boat up( in March of 2025) it was disgusting, covered in mildew, my swim steps were damaged where David had not checked my outdrive when he raised it, my passenger seat was torn, and there was a ton of corrosion. David's response to this was "there's salt in the air." I ended up taking the boat to a tuner only to discover that the issue was a fuse, apparently fuses are beyond David and his staff capabilities. In summary if you want to always to be shuffled behind people, never get updates on your project, and your boat neglected, by all means go see David Whelan at Gulf Coast Complete Marine(if you do take your boat here tell him your going to Desert Storm, LOTO or Key West and he may work on your boat). My receipt asked me to leave a review so here it is. In summary this is the worst business I've ever dealt with in any industry.

bottom job & epoxy barrier coat. Did a great job. Very professional & friendly staff. Everyone…read morefrom the front office to the people doing the actual work were great. Highly recommended. Thanks!

I had an excellent experience with Mason and the crew at Southern Boatworks. As the previous long…read morereview states, Mason is a hands-on owner and is generally found out in the yard actively directing and supervising the work, rather than sitting in the office. He is knowledgeable, courteous and knows what he is doing. He is busy, but attentive to his customers and is quick to return a call. It is clear that he has been working in and around boats most of his life. His attention to detail and level of concern about the quality of work performed is refreshing. My boat needed fiberglass work after she was struck while tied to the dock. Mason prepared an estimate for the damages, communicated with the opposing insurance company to ensure they had the information they needed, arranged a spot for my boat (she is too wide to haul out at his slip), and he ensured the work was performed on-time and on-budget. In addition, I needed a water maker installed, and he made sure that was done on time and on budget as well. To make sure it was completed as promised, he came in on a Saturday and spent most of the day finishing the job himself after one of his crew had called in sick. I have nothing but good things to say about Mason. In addition to Mason, I want to make sure I mention Big Nick and Guillermo. Nick stayed after work to help get work done on the boat, showing his commitment to getting the job done and done well. Guillermo did the fiberglass work, and he is excellent at it. Like Mason, I have nothing but good things to say about Guillermo as well. I know Mason is committed to working with the boating community, and he is currently widening his haul out so he will be able to lift catamarans, which will make his yard the only place in Galveston Bay other than Port Bolivar that can haul out a cat like mine, which is just over 25 feet wide. He is building up his business, and he does good work. Don't hesitate to use his services. Mike Golden
