I want you to know that we have never in our twenty years of boating found a group of people more professional, helpful, or friendlier than your folks at AYB. The work done on the boat was first class and we were always confident that you would, without being told, do whatever was necessary to make sure DESTINY was taken care of, in any situation, while she was in your care.

The overall atmosphere of the place was a welcome change from the sterile parking lots that are more typical of today’s marine service industry. The facility is reminiscent of the boat yards I knew when I started sailing with every skill represented and the materials at hand.

Thanks for the work the yard did on our bottom paint and thruhull valves – very professionally and efficiently. We’ll see you next year!

I want to thank you very much for your professionalism in handling the issues with my motor yacht, AL DI LA. From our first meeting in the spring of 2008 until our recent conversation, you have demonstrated courtesy, expertise, and the ability to achieve desired results.

Over my 40 years of boating, I’ve dealt with many boatyards. Some were good, some were not so good. I can truly say our five year relationship with your yard was the best, and the current condition of 77 PARK attests to that.

In the middle of November, as I was northbound on the ICW, my vessel, ‘BOUT PERFECT had some problems. Because of your fine staff a problem turned into a simple event. Thanks to all who helped make my short stay with you a truly pleasant one.

Most of your guys that worked on the boat came by before we left AYB to tell us and show us what they had done to make THE VAGABOND better – I appreciate the enthusiasm and pride of the workers at AYB, and I am always impressed with the skills assembled at AYB.

My East Bay 49 (JOY ANN) is now back at her home dock on Indian Creek in Killmarnock, VA. Thanks to you and your staff she looks and runs perfectly. My experience in leaving my boat in your yard for the winter could not have been more satisfying …Your yard is well organized and knows how to get the job done.

In any event, everyone we came into contact with at AYB was professional, courteous and helpful and the facility is certainly the best shipyard I have ever encountered, and I wanted to express that to you.

I wanted to drop you a line to tell you how satisfying it has been this year to re-coat the bottom of the boat. … I spent too many days on my back on the cold ground … Then I finally brought the boat to you for a definitive repair … Thank you again for taking the anxiety and major work out of the spring thing.
