Wow! Dominic and his team at Olsen Marine were fantastic. We are so happy with the services provided. Our boat looks amazing. We needed a cleaning, paint job, and various mechanical jobs. They truly went above & beyond. The family atmosphere at the marina is the result of it being a family business for over 50 years which is reassuring. The sons of the owners were out working on boats when we stopped by to check on our sailboat. You can feel the love at this marina! At the end of the day we are so happy with the work Olsen Marine provided. They are now our one stop shop for our sailboat! Cheers

We took our 32' sea ray for the first time to Dominic at Olsen marine and couldn't be more impressed. Dominic is a straight forward, honest guy who also served our country in the marine corps. He quoted us a price on cleaning and painting the bottom of our boat and it was done on budget and on time. Here's where they went above and beyond in service and integrity....when I drove back to my slip and was flushing my engines I noticed one of the plastic drain plugs was busted off and water was flowing out. It happened when they were replacing one of the through hull water inlets and must have accidentally

Dominic and his crew at Olsen Marine Services is the most professional boat yard that I have ever been to. We have had work done - in the past - on our boat after the survey found a few issues, and THAT yard (in TX) was the complete OPPOSITE of Olsen. This has got to be the cleanest and most organized yard in the South East of the US. Dominic and his guys had our boat for 2 weeks and gave us back work that was superlative. We did some bottom damage to our boat, and after talking with Dominic, decided to pursue the repair with our insurance company - we didn't even think to do that. He said he would

I hired to Olsen Marine Service to make repairs to my sailboat. The quality of work was substandard. When I asked Dominick to fix the mistakes - he refused. One of the items was the repair and painting of the boat deck. He painted the deck the wrong color. Additionally - there are several spots were there are runs in the paint and spots where the primer is showing through the awlgrip paint. I noticed the runs and thin paint spots after I picked the boat up - so Dominick advised that since I took the boat (and paid his bill) - I somehow relieved him of any responsibility. As far as painting - based

Great experience with quality repair vendor! We made an appointment to have some work done that involved hauling our boat. They were ready for us at the appointed time, the work was done in the time specified and the fees for haul out and labor were very reasonable. A professional crew all around. Good boat yards can be hard to find and we recommend Olsen Marine Services!

Bought a new to me 1998 Formula 330 SS, bought after full survey and engine inspections. Starboard engine went to max revs after 30 sec on plane after buying. Welcome to boating.
Was not really a surprised given the 23 yr old boat. That now meant had to find a shop that could not only repair but also had same empathy for an older boat (by today's standards). to work on an older boat, especially older Merc Stern-drives, and get schedule to do so before the repair rush at high season. No pressure from family.
Being 2020, things were not normal, as we all know. had numerous strong recommendations

We brought our Sabre sailboat down from Chicago to Olsen Marine. Our boat is 35 years old and it needed lots of work, due to the harsh winters and water damage to the interior sole. Dominick and his Olsen Marine team of professionals did amazing work preparing her for SW Florida sailing. Dominick was terrific to work with. He always provided reasonable quotes for the needed work, and he usually beat the estimate. The quality of work is extraordinary and the professionalism of Dominick and his team was outstanding. Anyone needing work on their boat should definitely try Olsen Marine.

I couldn’t be happier for choosing Olsen Marine to paint the boat bottom and work on the underwater gear of my 43’ Viking. The owner Dominick is a “straight up” guy and easy to work with.
Their reasonable prices, the friendly environment and the work done right the first time by a knowledgeable crew, are not always easy to find in boat yards today. Job well done guys!

The best word to use when describing Olsen Marine Services is "professional."
After the hull of my 36 foot sailboat was seriously scared when Tropical Storm Florence tore apart the floating dock I was sheltering in, I took my boat to Olsen Marine Services for the hull to be completely repaired and repainted to include below the water line anti-fouling treatment. The extensive hull maintenance provided a logical opportunity for the installation of a Side-Power bow thruster. Lastly, I requested that my boat's power train be completely serviced.

Can’t say enough about this place! Everyone was so knowledgeable, professional and knew exactly how to fix our issues with our boat. They cost so much less than other places we called to get bids on. Dom pulled boat out with ease and showed us our problem. Parts were delivered the next morning and put on boat. Boat fixed and sent us on our way the next morning! Will always recommend to others!! Thanks guys!
