KMC Marine was an absolute pleasure to work with. Brought our 25 Regulator in for the hundred hour service and everyone from the owners, service manager and master mechanic were all top notch. They went out of their way to ensure our satisfaction! No doubt, we will use them time and time again. Fantastic and low stress experience!

KMC brothers have more boat knowledge than any other marine center around. Whatever your need, give them a call and you will be impressed.

Shout out to the KMC Marine service staff. I am new to Pompano Beach and was in need of a qualified marine mechanic for Yamaha engines. Since I moved to Pompano Beach, I joined a fishing club in the area. From that club I asked numerous members for a qualified boat mechanic and unfortunately no one gave me any positive recommendations. One person advised me of one marine mechanic shop on the water that turned out to be absolutely terrible. KMC marine repaired the poor work from [that other company]. KMC Marine has been absolutely superb. Brandon is a great representative and very responsive. Jeremy is absolutely a knowledgeable mechanic and easy to speak with and explains his process of repair. They were also able to repair other non engines issues. I fully recommend KMC Marine service. So far they have been fair and responsive to my needs. Thank you Brandon and Jeremy.

To the KMC Team,
Every boat owner must come to grips when dealing with repairs and service. It can be an anxiety-filled experience. That’s why I take the time to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with KMC Marine in Lighthouse Point.

Phil picked up my boat and he was not on time - he was early! He went out of his way to make sure my boat got on the trailer, despite a steering problem.

Once at the shop, the KMC team went to work. Doug guides me fairly as to the work that had to be done. Danny did a meticulous job bottom painting. Somehow, when it came to pay, Susan makes it pleasant as possible.

Then there is Jeremy. To say he is a brilliant Yamaha mechanic is an understatement! He has acquired an enormous amount of expertise with regard to Yamaha engines. He knows it all. In fact, he goes about the repair in a fair, patient, and caring way. He is a remarkable person who makes you feel you are in good hands!

Thanks KMC!

Sincerely,
Peter S, Hillsboro Beach, FL

Thank you KMC Marine for the super job on my complete retro-fit of my Jupiter 31. My 2005 Jupiter is way better than new with updated motors, controls, new paint, new gadgets and electronics. The staff was completely receptive to my ever changing idea and executed the work flawlessly. Needless to say, Jeremy is truly a master mechanic and fabricator. Doug provided on the ball oversight of the project. I could not be happier. It was also a pleasure dealing with Tom, Phil, Rob (the owners/brothers) and Susan.

To anyone reading this, there is no reason to search anywhere else. I would not hesitate to give KMC Marine my highest rating. You will be treated like a member of their family. If anyone has questions, feel free to contact me.

Dear Friends at KMC...

Quality Service, Integrity, Honesty and Kindness are qualities in the business world that are hard to find now days. The people at KMC Marine clearly stand out as exceptions to this challenge.

My beliefs and values come not only from being a boater (11 sail & power, 16 ft to 46 ft) for 40 plus, but also a recently retired banker who has financed marine dealers, manufacturers and consumers for many years.

Thank you for the many years of high quality service and friendliness. Most recently, when I was about to leave on a fishing trip, I discovered a power trim and tilt problem on my Hewes Bayfisher. I brought my boat to you without an appointment and your team dropped what they were doing and went to work on solving my problem. I felt like the most important client KMC had.

Thanks again, not only for what you do, but more importantly, the way you do it.

All the very best,
Brad R., Boca Raton, FL

I've been a customer for around 10 years now. I've always been treated fairly and the work done was very professional. Everyone is really friendly and the place has kind of a family feel to it. Suffice it to say, I don't really see any need to take my business anywhere else.

Thank you so much for all of your assistance and that of your co-workers. It was an honor dealing with such a professional, knowledgeable team. I was instantly impressed right off the bat by your timely and professional handling of the case and then by Jeremy's work. Hopefully, I'll have the opportunity to work with you guys in the future. Please extend my thanks to Jeremy as well.

Best Regards,

Once again, KMC Marine to the rescue! While out at sea, Jeremy was invaluable in guiding me with his phone call advice. I spoke to Tom who arranged for David to meet me at dockside for the repair completion. What a team to have available when your boat needs expert support and service !

Thank you,

An email to Jupiter Marine

Hello Todd,

I wanted to take another moment to throw some praise at Phil and Rob from KMC Marine. There has been several ongoing issues with the same Jupiter 2010 26 that I originally wrote to you about. With customer service in shambles in the World right now, I fully expected that my issues would be ignored and become major hassles. I am extremely happy to report that this has not been the case. Phil and Rob have not only been concerned and attentive, they have bent over backwards to follow up on all issues and have worked diligently to find solutions. I am blown away by their dedication to their customers. I almost have to throw money at them! This team is one of a kind and an extremely rare find in this online impersonal world that we live in today! I own several businesses and have one bit of advice...Keep them around and representing you as long as you possibly can, they do you proud, and NO I am not related to them :)

Warm Regards,
James M., Pompano Beach, FL

KMC Marine is the ideal place to experience the perfect team to meet your repair needs. It starts off with a pleasant phone call with Susan who professionally and patiently sets up specific repair needs. Tom and the team meets with you and their boat trailer( on time) to begin the necessary repairs. And then there is Jeremy. The most knowledgable, "think outside the box" dedicated mechanic I have ever met. His honesty and commitment to getting the job done perfectly is simply amazing! I wouldn't trust my boat to anyone except KMC Marine.

Thank you,
Peter S., Hillsboro Beach, FL

Just a quick note, to let you know your team did a fabulous job getting me up and running today! Jeremy was very informative and knowledgeable, congratulations on a great tech! Customer for life!

I am new to boating and everyone at KMC has been amazing. Their customer service is just great and they really go out of their way to make sure that I get the best boating experience possible. I could not be more satisfied and will recommend KMC to all my friends.

I have had the privilege of knowing the Kniskern family since 1973. They have been working with boats since their first job at Stone Harbor Yacht Club. Starting the business in 1988, their hard-work, honesty and attention to detail has made them the award-winning team they are today. Knowledge and integrity is the reliable service you will receive at Kniskern Marine Center.

Awesome people. Helped us with a stressful relocation process from Florida to California and back again. The whole crew is great from the owners to office staff and mechanics. Prices are good and service is off the hook.

Thursday our yacht was anchored at Big Majors Spot near Staniel Cay, Bahamas. Early in the morning we noticed there was a serious problem with the steering on our tender. We called KMC, who always services the tender. Between Tom and Jeremy, we figured out what was needed to make the proper fix. The part was ordered, fabricated and delivered to Watermakers Air early Friday afternoon. It arrived here Saturday morning and the repair was complete in an hour. Only 48 hours from start to finish. With a less experienced dealer, this could have taken two weeks.

Had my boat hauled for an annual and bottom job...received a call back saying, "We pressure-washed your hull and it's good for another 6-8 months." now when have you ever had a service company not to do work...especially bottom paint? Once you find KMC, you won't shop around anymore. Everyone I have recommended has experienced the same level of satisfaction. I've seen a lot of yards open and close. [KMC] simply treats everyone as repeat customers.

Never having purchased a boat from a dealer, I was concerned about what to expect. I can absolutely state that the team at KMC is a thoroughly professional group of experts who addressed my needs promptly and courtesously. As a physician, I address myself to detail and John, Phil and Rob exceeded my expectations in all areas regarding my Edgewater.

Thanks, gentlemen, for a smooth and pleasant purchasing experience.

Dealing with John on selling my boat was a great experience. He showed attention to the details and kept me informed of the status of any offers. I would strongly recommend KMC Marine.

Bill Wood, Boca Raton, FL

As a first time boat owner, I was a little anxious to have my boat set up for a bottom painting and service. But the KMC team was excellent. When Phil came with his trailer, he demonstrated enormous patience as it took me about "four and a half hours" to drive the boat onto the trailer from the water. He assured me the boat would be in good hands and indicated "the visiting hours" for me to check my "baby." Julie, as always, was quick to organize all the parts my boat needed, as I used such technical terms, such as "front of the boat" and "sides". Greg did an outstanding job cleaning and painting the boat, including getting rid of a stubborn scratch. When the stressful call comes from Susan indicating the final bill amount, the total will be just a little bit easier to handle, given her pleasant-sounding voice! Finally, there is Jeremy, the mechanic. Let's put it this way, if Jeremy won the lottery tomorrow and retired, I would have to sell my boat. He is dedicated to doing a thorough, professional, and proficient job. I am due to pick up my "baby" tomorrow. Just in the event I encounter a boatload of unexpected problems, none of the above is true. :) Just kidding, of course!
With sincere appreciation,

Peter, Hillsboro Beach, FL

Thank you, Tom, for the GREAT service! You gave me a quality job, on time, for the exact amount we talked about, and the boat was clean when you were done. I know you say it is supposed to be like this, but I have been around and this is not what happens at other places. You also have some nice people working with you, from the Parts lady to Susan, the manager. I am going to post something on Florida Sportsman and Angie's List to let others know what a pleasure it is to do business with KMC Marine.

Thank you for helping us with "Back At It". You saved our weekend. My son and I get very little time together and your efforts helped us have some quality time. I really appreciate all that you and your team did. Your dealership is top notch and your team goes the extra mile to make customers like me very happy. Because of you and your team, we were able to take "Back At It" out for a fantastic day on Saturday in the Bahamas. We caught three big lobsters in the morning and a big Blue in the afternoon. It could not have been a more perfect day. You made it possible.
Thank you so very much.

The crew at KMC are the GREATEST!!!! Thank you Susan, Phil, and the rest for all of your help. Their service and repair department did an outstanding job, and I couldn't be more pleased. The location is easily accessible, the facility is spotless, and when you meet their staff, you feel as if you have known them as friends for many years. If you are considering a purchase, repair, or even a consultation with the professionals at KMC, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. When you stop by, tell Susan (she's the one with the glowing smile) that Tom and K-Mo said "Hello and thanks again!"

"Professional environment." I wanted to upgrade electronics on my boat, and they helped with recommendations to what was the best for my needs. They really know what they are doing.
Thank you very much KMC group!

I am still very grateful for the generosity by your staff and letting us keep the boat at your residence prior to bringing the boat to our place in the Bahamas. We will definitely be a repeat client when looking for our next boat. A special thanks to all the staff who turned the boat over in record time.
All my best,

Roberto, Vancouver, BC, Canada
