Brad is a high integrity individual and extremely knowledgeable. I was considering the purchase of…read morea boat in his area and reached out to him (from NY state) for his guidance. He could have easily parlayed my interest in the boat into significant rehab work for himself, but he didn't. Instead, he acted as an honest, impartial consultant on the pros and cons of the boat and helped me to make a rational decision. I would highly recommend Brad at Workhorse Marine to any one in the area.

My husband and I needed a mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection on a 2009 Regal Cruiser. Brad,…read moreat workhorse marine was thorough, honest, communicative and professional. My husband and I are new to boat ownership and traveled from Annapolis, MD to purchase this boat. Brad was very patient with us, and helped to make every step of the purchasing process easy. I particularly appreciated the fact that upon discovering specific issues with the boat, he provided us with various options at various price points that would fit our budget instead of automatically pushing us into the most costly option to repair with whatever the issue was. It's extremely difficult to find an honest boat mechanic that performs excellent work at fair price points. I have and will continue to recommend Brad at workhorse to anyone I know looking for a solid mechanic and a really good guy to work with!

Bob and Greg just repaired my boat for the 3rd time in 2 years. Different issues with an older…read moreboat. ( busted water line, sunk boat rebuild and shifter/ cables replaced) They were fair, honest and quick to get get repair done and back on the water. The pricing was beyond reasonable and fair. The last time it was a maintenance repair, they found the issues, let me have the boat back so we could go boating a few times while waiting on parts and then called when it part's were in and got the repair done in a day. They also found an engine issues that would soon cause a critical failure if not repaired soon. So for a few $$ the saved m a critical failure later. My boat drives better than new now. I wish I would have found then 25 years ago when I started boating. Would have saved me time and money. As great as they are, I hope to not see them again but I own a boat and repairs are part of the game. I'll be calling barefoot Watersports for all repairs.

I was searching for a company making boat covers out of recyclable material like sunbrella and was…read morehappy to find Nick and his shop. They made a custom cover for my 14ft dinghy so that I can keep it fully rigged in dry storage with enough space under the boom to keep lines and other essentials dry and protected from the sun. Worked out really well and I couldn't be happier.
