Testimonials

On 11/9/2025 Lee Warner had this to say:
Dan came out and worked on my friends old canvas enclosure on his 2004 Mainship Yacht while he was stopped in Heritage Harbor. He was incredibly thoughtful on the repairs to the old enclosure and included a few extra grommets and fasteners for our use down the road. My friend Joe highly recommends his friendly and knowledgeable approach. I can see the great workmanship first hand.

On 10/14/2025 Payton Campbell had this to say:
Dan does high quality work at fair and honest prices. If you need something done give him a call and take it over for him to get a real look at it. You won’t be dissatisfied.

Going to have them redo some vinyls seats for me over the winter and also make a new cover

On 2/8/2023 Michelle G. had this to say:
The owner, Dan is amazing. He's creative, receptive to our ideas, thorough, knowledgeable, skilled and the friendliest guy. He kept in contact with us throughout the whole process of re-upholstering our boat interior. He had examples made on paper and in product. His ideas were spot on. When we went to pick up our boat, we were so amazed at what he had done. His work is impeccable. And his prices are fair.

On 10/6/2022 Mike R had this to say:
Would be 6 stars if that was an option, Dan does fantastic work, on time and on budget, recently completed a new snap cover and bimini for our 25' bowrider. The cover looks awesome fits like a glove, and the attention to detail is top notch.
