The difference

No Keys
Disease.

Every boater down here has a story about the mechanic who never called back. We built this business to be the opposite of that story: factory credentials, dockside service, real response times.

What Keys boaters say about us

5.0 · Google
Called on a Saturday morning with a dead Yamaha at Pilot House. They were on my boat in under 90 minutes, found a bad stator, had me running again before the afternoon bite.
Mike R. · Key Largo
2019 Contender 28 · Twin Yamaha F300
Ran 100-hour service on both my Suzuki DF250s at the dock. Showed me every part they pulled, every part number, walked me through the SDS scan. This is how it's supposed to be done.
Jen S. · Islamorada
2021 Invincible 36 · Twin Suzuki DF250
I've been burned by three 'mobile mechanics' in the Keys before these guys. First ones who actually showed up when they said they would, with the right diagnostic tools, and gave me an honest bill.
