From real customers
Who we are
Dave's Marine Services has earned a perfect 5-star rating in Hubert by doing what big dealerships often can't — actually fixing boats. One customer brought in a 2006 Yamaha jet boat after a Yamaha dealership had it for a month and couldn't solve the problem; Dave had it running within a week using "good mechanical sense and troubleshooting." Repeat customers describe Dave as their favorite boat guy, easy to deal with, very personable, and genuinely qualified. Honest, fair, and a rarity these days. If you've got a boat that needs help, this is your call.
