Had such a great experience buying our boat from Jake. He was very knowledgeable and a fair price. The follow up experience has been great. I was a little worried when I read the reviews but then found out the bad reviews were from the prior owner Bob. Jake and Nick are great to work with. I never worry about having to get my boat serviced because I know it’s in good hands.

Jake and his team have worked on my Chaparral 264 Sunesta for the past 2 years and have been amazing to work with. I’ve never had an issues and the boat has always been ready for summer.
