Diversified Marine Services delivered on three counts: quality of workmanship, timeliness and budget. Our project schedule was tightly wedged between two regattas - DMS met the deadline. Our project required a very "detail oriented' team, DMS approached our project with the goal returning our yacht to her original eye popping beauty, DMS delivered. To keep the costs down, our sailing team removed deck hardware and the stanchion, DMS worked with us to make this project successful. I recommend DMS to owners. Post Script - following the completion of our project dozens of people complemented boat at the yard; although the boat was NOT for sale, one person made an offer that could not be refused.

Once again you guys have done an OUTSTANDING job handling a tricky situation...a boat that is new to my client, with some issues, handled in a sensible way without presenting it as a can of worms.  You're the pro's pro.  Archie and Remy are very happy to have you helping them out and I am grateful for the confidence you give my clients that they can enjoy their boats.  The easiest thing for an engine guy to do is a CYA by saying "well this could happen or that could happen", but that makes people very nervous to the point where they can't relax and enjoy sailing which is supposed to be the point.  We all try to be smart and yes, do prudent maintenance and yes, hold the show up for something urgent.  You are walking the link very well as far as I'm concerned.

Ever since I found a Diversified Marine calling card attached to my boat’s lifelines, I have used them religiously for my spring prep work. Whether the work is bottom paint, seacock lubrication or anode replacement, the work has always be performed well and as scheduled. Most of all, Diversified’s crew has always been very helpful and friendly in explaining their work, and extremely responsive to maintenance/repair items that come up during the season.

I want to thank you and your team for all the fine work Diversified Marine Services has done on my client’s boats. The work was always done professionally, neatly and on schedule. Your estimates in my view were consistently fair and accurate, and always in a prompt manner which is important when finalizing the sale of a vessel. From the Awlgrip job on the 56’ Bristol ketch to much smaller jobs, Diversified has delivered an excellent work product on time and on budget. When a customer has a repair or refit job, I am happy to recommend Diversified based upon the past satisfaction of my owners and buyers. Please keep up the good work.

I can only sing the praises of the work you’ve done on Sonador, everything from the electrical work to the fabrication of the teak shelving, installation of refrigeration and the maintenance of the bottom during my haul out this spring. All of the work was done as discussed and the workmanship appears to be excellent. I really look forward to sending additional work your way, as I prepare for longer ventures next year.

Diversified Marine Services has been taking care of “Mistoffelees” (Bristol 33) for many years. From soda blasting, prepping and painting her bottom, coordinating the complete refit of the standing rigging, installation of electronics, painting her hull and mast (black), and general maintenance – I have been completely satisfied with the work of DMS. Their work reflects their years of experience – they are professional, responsive, on time and within budget. Tom and his crew know what they’re doing and they do it well.
-John Ferman

My experience with Diversified Marine has been terrific. Diversified’s professionals are highly committed and always very responsive to my requests, helping to ensure that I have the best possible experience with my boat. With each service request, they take the time to call me, to explain what the problem is and how they propose to resolve it. The fact that they (John Eger) call me with such thoughtful explanations suggests they really care.

Over ten years ago, I met Tom and started using Diversified Marine initially for bottom cleaning and changing the leads. But each year I am relying on him for more and more of the work on my 40 year old yawl. He and his well-trained and very polite crew have helped to keep the boat in excellent condition. Loyalty is a two way street with Tom and he has always been able to get to my work quickly no matter how swamped he may be. He has never told me he will get a job done by a certain time and not delivered – and that says a lot these days. He’s one of the best all around marine contractors I’ve ever met.
