Reviews & Testimonials

I very much appreciate all of the work you and your crew undertook in helping restore Paikea to better-than-new condition. Your professionalism, communication, and work ethic was beyond impressive, and I never had to worry about the outcome of each step of the project. I was particularly pleased with your crew’s uncanny ability to identify problems – and solutions – before I even discovered the issue. Moreover, the update photos and Facebook posts kept me abreast of each detail even when I could not inspect the boat in person. i can assure you that I will recommend Diversified with high… Read more “Keith Schomig”

S&J Yachts and I would like to thank you all for getting the job done in time. The customers appear to be very happy with both the quality of the work and the way it was handled. We too are very pleased with the workmanship and the way your people handled a very difficult situation.  Please extend a big thank you to your whole team. We look forward to working with you again.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank the Diversified Marine team on the work they did for me over the summer and this fall on my Formula 240. Getting into boat ownership was stressful enough – and it’s even more stressful when the “money-pit” stereotype of a boat starts to inevitably come through. Luckily for me I decided to work with Diversified on my boats’ needs – some cosmetic / for-fun, some necessary such as electrical work. I can’t speak enough to how blown away I’ve been by the professionalism, quick-communication, and care from your team. Throughout the… Read more “Kyle Blakely”

The boat looks great! That’s the best detail job I’ve had on that boat. It hasn’t looked that good since the day I bought it. Great job!

Excellent customer service here. You guys are raising the bar as far as customer service with the pictures and thorough work. Thanks!

I walked into your office this morning and your tech called me a few minutes ago reporting — “DONE”. I am sufficiently humiliated that you could do immediately what I was incapable of doing in several days. I am impressed. But you deserve to be recognized for taking care of your regular customers. Everything you have done for me since I purchased Paladin has been excellent. When you earn a thank you, you get it from me.

As a boater, I’m used to boatyard people being unreliable often grumpy, and sometimes plain rude…to say nothing of mildly incompetent…and that’s when you manage to get a hold of them at all. DMS proved the opposite. They responded quickly (same day) to my online job query…They got Jose out to the boat and preformed a thorough and accurate survey of the problem (which was completed unrelated to what I thought it was)…and provided the solution, all for about $200. Plus, got multiple call-backs and follow-through communications until the job was done, then some. Can’t recommend them enough based on… Read more “Jay L.”

Wow, I can’t be more pleased and impressed with the work you all put into this! Patty, you were spot-on with the suggestion you offered, and Mike, you did a great job and even left the boat cleaner than when you found it – thank you! I took a look at it as the sun was going down last night, but I’ll get over there the next few days with some daylight and let you know if I have any questions. Again, great job and many thanks!

I have been using Diversified for 2 years and they have been prompt, knowledgeable and economic. They are fantastic and their mechanics are awesome.

I can’t say enough about how responsive and professional my experience was with Diversified this year. Very impressive. You have truly won a customer for life. I’ll be coming back with longer lists in future years. Thank you!

It has been more than a year since you did your fabulous work on Tranquility, my 46 ft. sailboat, and restored her to “new” condition. I was quite impressed that a diver who works on Traquility asked me when I got my new boat. As you know, Tranquility is 17 years old. The internal work was equally spectacular. I love the Corian countertop and the other woodwork that was done internally. Just wanted to let you know how much I continue to appreciate the outstanding work that you did.

You guys defy all “marine services” conventions…you promptly return calls and emails, you actually show up, and you follow up with updates and when service is complete. I really enjoy working with you.

Just wanted to let you know I appreciate how awesome your company is at communicating with the customer and providing updates on projects. You guys definitely stand out in a good way!

First, I want to tell you how satisfied I am with the work you have been doing, and in particular with the attitude of you guys who have been so clearly interested in making sure that I understand what is needed and what they actually have done. You are far more than just boat mechanics. Really good communicators and I wish that you would pass these comments on to them, I also appreciate the pictures after each component of the work that has been done. My regret is that I haven’t connected with Diversified before.

I have Selene 48′ trawler. The Taiwanese carpenters are hard to match. But, I think Matt may just have given them some competition. He took a sample of our drawer front and matched it to perfection. That wasn’t an easy task with all the fine detail. He was even able to match the Ebony inlay on the cabinet top. His measurements were perfect and the cabinet fits beautifully. You know how…boats have more angles than geometry. We had a time deadline of heading South. Matt made that deadline, working nights and weekends. He managed to get it completed right on… Read more “Terry & Leslie Byrne”

Just wanted to thank you for your work and am very glad to be doing business with you all. Tyler came to my boat yesterday and called and spent a good deal of time explaining things to me and going over things in detail. Sounds like a great guy. Thanks again, and for a guy who knows nothing about boats or engines… I feel much better having you all to keep me afloat.

Please tell me if there is a preferred place for me to leave a positive review for you all, this has by far been the most professional mechanic / repair experiences I’ve ever had, boat/truck/atv… you all have certainly earned a repeat customer and I will be bringing my new Grady White 257 to you all for all of its service needs starting next spring.

Last fall my 1997 Gemini 105M was struck by lightning. Almost everything electrical was damaged, and the electronics were fried. Frank Hoot came on board, assessed the damage, developed a plan and executed it perfectly. Not only was he able to identify the lightning problems, he identified and correct electrical issues carried over from the manufacturer. He brought the boat up to current ABYC standards. This was all done as part of the plan. He also helped me deal with an extremely difficult vender. The work was done quickly, cleanly, and timely, meeting my somewhat bizarre time schedule. The “TWO… Read more “Tim Fleming”

I have been a boater all my life and a boat owner for several decades. My biggest complaint about service – nobody does what they say they are going to do, when they say they are going to do it, for the cost of the quote. In the boating service industry this is an epidemic. I started working with DMS seeking a quote to repair a leaking fuel tank. Jose was my contact person. Jose and his team went above and beyond to get me information about how to replace the tank properly. I ended up going with a repair… Read more “Robert F.”

I posted this to the SOS Skipper’s forum …… just sharing good experience that I hope others do when they find it. Thanks again. Jim Here’s some good news: I need to share my experience with this professional run outfit. I’ve had occasion to have them work on my diesel (25hp Universal) several times over the past couple years. Most recently, this past week, I had an issue with a heat exchanger bracket and a stuck pencil zinc. Although they had their techs fully booked for the next two weeks, they found the time to fit in that repair and… Read more “Jim Mosher”

One seldom encounters a business dedicated to superb quality of work, coupled with on-time performance at a fair price. Diversified Marine Service is such a company. With a three week trip out of town, FROLIC was hauled in August for some minor gel coat repair and an awlgrip paint job. The deep luster of the flag blue paint is phenomenal. We could not be more pleased.

Your service is the best I have ever experienced. Your work is timely, well documented and your customer communications are outstanding. Here I am in Grenada waiting for the yard to move my jack stands. We were told they would be moved at 7 am Monday. It’s 830 and we are checking on the request. Now we find out that maybe later today someone can move them. This is more typical of yacht yard services. Poor communication and zero follow up and never on time. This is not the case with Diversified. Your work is amazing on all levels. Thank… Read more “Hayden Cochran”

As we approach launch, I just wanted to say that I appreciated the professionalism from the entire DMS team that worked with us to get Allegiant ready to take on sailing season. Though we still have work to do, Diversified helped us address key systems to ensure the crew’s safety and hopefully enjoy a full season. It was definitely more than we expected, more than I could tackle, and we couldn’t have compressed it into the timeline without the support. I’d prefer only to trust Allegiant work to Diversified. I passed along similar words to Rod Jabin’s as often good… Read more “Albert Bossar”

I‘m writing this letter to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to Matt Jones and Diversified Marine Services Inc., in Annapolis, Maryland for the attention they gave us, their response time, and the professionalism shown with respect to some recent boat repairs. Our Formica galley countertop had begun to delaminate and despite my attempts, refused to be re-adhered.  Some of the aft closet frames had also begun to warp and crack, and we noticed some fiberglass cracks developing in the aft bulkhead area, which I had related to potentially putting the boat on our lift improperly. We had been trying… Read more “Bernie and Marie Klein”
