Best shop in Bradenton. Don jr is a great guy and cares about his customers
This Bradenton area fishing guides mechanic of choice. DJ and his crew get motors serviced and work on them as if they are their own. They know professional fishing guides depend on their equipment for their livelihood. They are equally attentive to the customers they serve. Thanks DJ and crew for keeping me out on the water instead of the shop. My customers depend on me for a well maintained power plant on my vessel. I owe it to you and your crew for keeping me out there.
Born and raised in Tampa but moved to Palmeto with used boat purchace looked fo local mechanic and found what i think is best in Bradenton area they are honest and had my service done in one day will be back every year for my yearly service.
Don’s Marine is the best boat mechanic in the area! If you’re looking for a reliable and knowledgeable marine mechanic or boat repair shop, this is your one-stop shop for everything marine service related. Don helped my family with a used boat inspection and was completely honest throughout the process—saving us both money and stress. He gave expert advice when we were headed in the wrong direction and even helped us find a high-quality outboard motor at a great price. Whether you need boat engine repair, marine diagnostics, or help with repowering your boat, Don’s Marine is the only place I trust. Highly recommended for anyone needing top-notch boat maintenance or marine mechanic services!
I brought my boat in, not sure what was wrong with it and it wasn’t an easy fix and within five days he had me back on the water. The price was better than anywhere I could’ve went. The customer service is amazing & DJ replies to you within a couple hours via text message , phone call etc… I would highly recommend Don‘s Marine for any of your boat needs!
We purchased a new Suzuki 225 outboard from Don's Marine. DJ was great to work with! They gave us a very fair price and the work was completed on time and accurately. We give our highest rating to this company and will use them again for our Boating needs!!!
"I can't say enough great things about Don's Marine! From the moment I walked in, the team was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They took the time to thoroughly inspect my boat and explain every detail of what needed fixing. Their professionalism and passion for boating really stood out. Not only did they complete the repairs on time, but my boat now runs smoother than ever. The pricing was fair, and the service exceeded all my expectations. Don's Marine has truly been a gem in the boating community for this area for many years—if you want reliable, top-notch service, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!"
Ron is always very helpful and reasonable i would recommend if they don't answer keep calling
I purchased two motors for my boat and Don’s Marine made it such a great experience. From picking the motors, time frame of installation and care needed, Don’s Marine was patient with answering all my questions. Thank you, Don’s Marine for your exceptional service!!!
Hands down best buying experience I’ve had. Chantel went above and beyond to make sure it went smooth. She was honest from start to finish, gave us a very good deal considering the market, and never once did we feel an ounce of pressure. She even gave us a warranty on a 5 year old cart. I reached out to her post- sale about something minor and in no real need of fixing, but sure enough she ordered a new part and will send out her tech. A1; don’t look anywhere else !
In Bradenton for a couple days. Engine on boat went out while on water. Even though he was booked solid, DJ told us to bring it in. It was fixed in 10 minutes. Amazing service! Thanks for saving our getaway.
Professional quality shop providing knowledgeable techs, fair prices, and prompt service. I took my 20hp Tohatsu in for them to repair what an idiot "mobile marine mechanic" screwed up and it was fixed and ready in one day! Thank you Tom, Harold and Don. Nice friendly shop with smart guys and great service. Well worth the drive up from south Sarasota County!
Got a great deal on an icon golf cart
These things are top of the line and come with everything
I've now used his shop multiple times for various issues on my Suzuki and all I can say is they are fantastic. He has squeezed my in everytime, taken care of the issue super fast and always explained to me the steps along the way.
My son, who has Autism, Epilepsy and Autoimmune disease, had his 18th birthday on 8/25 and I was seeking out a birthday present for him, which lead me to this business. My Son is low functioning and non-verbal and doesn't have much interests except movement, Barney and Sesame Street. I contacted Don's Marine and Golf Carts in Bradenton to see about prices for a used Golf cart. I shared why I was looking for the golf cart for my son and they immediately showed such caring and empathy by giving us a big price break. Then they also asked what character he liked and were so thoughtful and ordered a Cookie Monster decal for the cart. 😊
Then it gets even better!! For some reason the used golf cart we agreed on, stopped working so they stayed late Friday night to get it fixed, but then decided they didn't feel it was safe to give us and gave us a BRAND NEW golf cart for the same price as the used golf cart. Then to top it off they delivered it to our house Saturday late afternoon when it started pouring down rain. I told them they could deliver it another day so they wouldn't have to get poured on and they said "no, we want Tyler to have this for his birthday and felt bad because his birthday was on Friday". I have not experienced such generosity and kindness from complete strangers!! They gave me a renewed belief that their are still very kind people in this world!!
I just wanted to share this with you as it is such a great example of goodness in this world! The cart is awesome also! My Son is truly enjoying it!!
Got me in got me out and kept me updated during process. I will definitely return if I need more work done on the boat.
