On 9/17/2025 hugo saenz had this to say:
Great experience. Easy to deal with. They took the time to meet my needs and to show the features of the boat. I highly recommend this outfit.

On 9/14/2025 shane lavoie had this to say:
Dean and his crew always take good care of me. Had a pretty big job done recently and they went above and beyond. Took care of getting me a warranty part ordered, delivered, and installed in less lan a week. Dean enjoys talking about fishing. He will talk with you as if you've know each other for years. Highly recommend Captains Choice Boats.

On 9/5/2025 George had this to say:
I recently took my boat to Captains Choice with Smart Gage problems on my mercury 115hp. I was very impressed with the service and the very friendly atmosphere and service. The problem was diagnosed as a bad trim sending unit. Replacement was accomplished immediately as a warranty issue. The impressive thing is they straightened up other items from the sloppy installation of the new engine installation accomplished at another marina. Highly recommend Captains Choice. I will definitely take my boat there for an future service or repairs Testimonial written by George on this site.
