Sarasota Marine Performance, Inc. Reviews

Top flight company for the last 35 years that I personally know of. If they say it or do it it is correct weather we like it or not.

Am re powering my boat with Twin White 300 Verado's. Innovation has been very consultive in nature and pays attention to the details. Happy with my experience and believe you will find this family owned business a winner.

Bad management, greedy owner. They charge the customer full MSRP list price on all parts. I WOULD NOT GO THERE.

Scott was so respectful .treated me like a human being .very nice people .Jon in service is so nice and very helpful i just found these guys and so far i am very satisfied with my experience .i just wish i would of found these guys sooner for so long other marine shops have left me hanging .and now that i have innovation to help me .im totally releived on my boats needs

Trust is a hard word to use when it comes to service, but the Whole team at Innovation has truly earned it.
the Customer service, product knowledge, pricing and mechanical work performed was perfect. Complete one stop shop for all your boating service needs does exist only at Innovation Marine

This is a warning to all boaters that may need work done on their boat. I had a terrible experience with this company last month. They are very greedy and dishonest, so I decided to warn others. There are too many good boat mechanics out there...so find one other than Innovation Marine in Sarasota. They quoted me $115 per hour for a mechanic to come to the house and a $75 trip fee. Since I called around I knew that these numbers were in line with the market. I was told I would get a estimate emailed to me BEFORE the scheduled maintenance date. I never did. I was told by Jim (who was the one who quoted me) that he was busy and forgot! Since it was the morning of my scheduled appointment, I told Jim to still send the mechanic. TWO guys showed up and I didn t think too much of it because other boat repair companies send a mechanic and a helper. When I got the bill I was billed $230 an hour and a hourly TRIP CHARGE! NEVER did Jim say it was $115 per mechanic or that the trip charge was hourly and not just a flat rate of $75! I received a $1900 bill for general maintenance on my engine and generator! I called ALL my boating friends and they all agreed that I was being taken! My friends never heard of an HOURLY trip charge or charging $230 an hour for a mechanic. I would of NEVER hired this company in the first place if they provided me quote in writing like they were supposed to do! Remember, I called around so I knew that $110 to $120 per hour was the going rate for a boat mechanic. After 6 weeks of fighting with them, they reduced the hourly rate to $115 an hour like quoted on the initial phone call. It was a painful 6 weeks! If I can save someone this trouble with this post, I will be happy!

Not very happy when work is done without my authorization and costed an extra thousand
