Don't just take our word for it. Here's what customers say about Mac Marine.

★★★★★
Had a few problems with the boat. Latest one this morning with the propeller. Spoke to Mac Marine who does all my work and the service is exceptional. New prop fitted while the boat was in the water. Same a few weeks ago when I had a problem with the starter motor, fixed 3 days later. The guy is brilliant. Can't recommend enough.
Gregor Wilkinson

Glen takes the stress out of my annual boat service. Great mobile service.
Blair Stewart
★★★★★
Just had Glen travel over to Dysart to repair my outboard which he managed in 1.5 hours at a very reasonable price. Certainly well worth it. Cheers Glen.
Alexander Arbuckle
★★★★★
I recently bought a Yamaha 75hp from Mac Marine. The motor is just how he said. Runs faultlessly, fully rebuilt to a very high standard. Over the moon with it. Highly recommend for all and any boat work.
Robert Macpheat
★★★★★
Had Glen over to fix rubber along the side of the boat after it came loose rubbing the harbour wall in a rough sea. Excellent job done, thank you.
Ally Mac
★★★★★
Just had work done on ski. Great service.
Stu Hunter
★★★★★
Yeah can't disagree with that. I use Glen too.
Willie Mclean
★★★★★
Used Glen for a repair at Loch Lomond after the boat had been sitting over winter. Turned up when he said he would, got straight to work and had it sorted in no time. Straightforward and good value. Will definitely use him again.
