Happy we got connected and I will be hiring Cody for any future boat maintenance I have.Posted on Madeline WatkinsDecember 12, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cody was outstanding! He came to our house to look at our Garmin and radio on a boat that we’d recently bought and weren’t familiar with yet. He did a couple simple fixes quickly, helped familiarize us with the boat, and was friendly and personable. Cost was extremely reasonable as well.Posted on Jordan CarrollDecember 12, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service and communication.

Cody came on time, had great innovative ideas on how to make things better in my boat, did a complete service job on my Yamaha 70 hp and charged less than his estimate.

Would highly recommend using Island Marine Repair.Posted on scott ryderNovember 19, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
