Amazing talent, skills, and professionalism. Bought a new nauticstar 28 xs from a different dealer in September. Countless calls and trips to authorized dealers and 2 months without the boat, Corporate called and said take it to John at Cortez Cove. 5 hour one way ride from NE Fl towing the boat there. 2 other dealers said boat was a defect and couldn’t repair. I thought I was stuck with a bad hull and about to trade it in to get out of the nightmare. John called me promptly stating the issue was easy to fix and took care of a bunch of other fit and finish issues under warranty I noticed but I was just going to do myself later. I just wanted the soft floor, transducer, fuel gauge, and steering fixed. He gave me full confidence in their repairs on a brand new boat I was told was defective from 2 other shops locally. Being a master auto tech and shop owner I see a lot of vehicles that shops do not have engine, transmission or differential techs able to fix. The trade pool of talent has diminished greatly over the last decade and glad I found John to be my go to guy for any boat repairs in the future. P.S Nauticstar Corporate, you better do whatever you need to keep this business as a dealer, they are a huge asset to your company!!!

We purchased a new boat and AJ, Jon, JR, Paul and Jamie were all very professional while purchasing our newly built 32 Fountain. Since the purchase they have scheduled routine maintenance services and fixed minor details that they found that are under warranty. Thank you to the Cortez Cove team! They have been upfront and honest with us from the beginning. Convenient location and genuinely very nice people to work with when dealing with boats. Boaters know there are always issues/on going maintenance while boating and since the boat world has become overly busy since the Covid days, it’s nice to have a marina you can trust. This team has always been available for any questions. Thanks again Cortez Cove… my son and I love our new boat!! Special thanks to Paul and AJ for helping us with the newly installed trolling motor!!!

We had a 1 pm pre-purchase haulout scheduled. We arrived at about 12:50 they were not ready for us. We waited until 1:30 before they were ready for us to pull the boat. Paul was the crane operator, and he and the crew worked efficiently and professionally. We had Cortez power wash the boat which they didn't finish until close to 2:15. After we had access to the boat less than 30 minutes, a man by the name of Jimmy began yelling at us from about 50 feet away. Jimmy was rude and his opening statements were profanity laced. Intially, he was upset because the boat was not back in the water. We tried explaining that the boat hadn't been out of the water an hour. This included their time to power wash. He then personally attacked us verbally saying that is why they shouldn't do business with people like us. Still not sure what that meant. Did he mean sailors or catamarans or what. Fat white guy here so maybe he meant fat guys?It is sad because Paul and the crane crew were very professional. The women I paid was very friendly and professional.Full disclosure apparently we violated a policy by applying paint to the prop. Didn't know that wasn't allowed. Somebody politely telling us would have stopped it immediately. Instead he waited until we were done then cussed us out for it.JJ

We had the bottom painted 2/16/21. Just had the boat hauled for a survey. Broker was sure boat would need bottom paint. Paint is still fine, at least another year left. Great shop, fair prices.

I have only been boating for four years. I have heard so many horror stories about boat yards that when I discovered an area of my hull that needed repair, I was truly concerned. Cortez Cove Marina was where I took her for her repair and total bottom job. I have to say, they took fantastic care of me and the boat. AJ and Jamie are nothing less than totally professional, courteous, and friendly. They always made me feel comfortable and cared about. I received the invoice today and was pleasantly surprised as I believe they were very reasonable with their pricing. If you need work done on your boat, trust me, Cortez Cove Marina will not disappoint you. Thank you AJ and Jamie and the professional crew that did the repairs and painting.

For the past six years Cortez Cove Marina technicians and management have maintained and repaired our boat - bottom jobs, mechanical maintenance and fiberglass repair, hull painting and bottom jobs and multiple wood working and electrical retro-fitting projects. Always professional, always meeting our expectations, always accommodating to our schedule.Have traveled the ICW from Norfolk to Brownsville and would rank Jon Lynch and his technicians and staff among the best yards in my thirty years of boating.Bill AmtM/V Charisma

I hardly ever write reviews, but this company right here definitely deserves one. I was worried about bringing my 50 Viking in as I haven't heard many good things about boat yards. Immediately while the haul out was happening I was greeted by Jon and Jamie and other staff. Jamie had a notebook in hand taking notes on everything Jon and I discussed what I wanted done and she didn't miss a thing! Right away they made me feel like they were on top of their game and I felt like I was in the right place, and in good hands. I cannot even tell you everything about how well they took care of me and my vessel as this would be a book..lol. I was doing a ton of major upgrades and all I can say is every single part of the job was taken care of with true professionalism and fair pricing. Don't bother looking anywhere else if you are reading this as you are in the right place. Jon the owner cares about his clients and his reputation and that's enough for me!
