RMK Merrill-Stevens - Miami, Florida

Mauro S.

After quoting with several companies for a medium overhaul in Miami, FL, I decided to trust our Meridian 411 yacht with RMK Merrill-Stevens. I first met with Mr. Jack Haney at our boat and was impressed with the level of detail and accuracy they were able to provide at the estimating process. I have had the boat for three (3) years and wanted to limit unforeseen expenses as much as possible as our previous experience with other vendors had proven a huge gap between what was initially quoted and the final invoice. Jack invested a significant amount of time prior to our acceptance of the estimate to make sure we had everything covered and all questions we had were addressed.

During the execution phase, every care was taken by Mr. Jack to make sure the work completed by his team met the high quality standards set by the company. We did make some further change orders throughout the process and they were handled while making sure we were aware of the impact (monetary Vs. performance). Upon completion of the overhaul, Jack took the time to go with me on a sea trial and we were amazed at the results. Prior to the alterations, our boat had a top speed of 21 Knots. Upon testing the boat I realized something was very different and noticed had now a new top speed of 30 knots and a sweet ride. I can now basically cruise at 21 Knots (prior top speed) and it feels great.

I usually do not take the time to review companies, however, the boating industry can be very tricky and choosing the right vendors is key, I decided to share my experience with the public to recognize Mr. Jack & his team's efforts as they really exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend the services of RMK Merrill Stevens.

This company was actually Florida's first shipyard (founded in Jacksonville in 1885 and operating in Miami on the Miami River since 1923) and this particular shipyard recently had a remodeling/upgrade with a cost of $30 million. This particular shipyard is comprised of two yards: the north yard, which borders the health district; and the south yard, which borders Marlins Park in Little Havana. You can see some very impressive yachts, commercial & private, and the extensive work that is done. This shipyard has a 2,700 ton shoplift that can pull a 235-foot mega-yacht out of the water for service and repairs! A very unique and historical gem in the heart of Miami. JE

They will never answer the phone. I called 15 times over 2 days, Monday and Tuesday, not holidays. I had a large list of repairs I needed done but apparently they do not want my business. I even called their sales department, HR department, and Accounting department. HR and Accounting answered but nothing was ever done about my call. If it is this hard to communicate to give them money I can’t imagine needing anything from them.

Superior service without question. Let me as a transporter take my time breaking down equipment. They came in on their day off to unload me. Just a fantastic group of people. Great location. They can store yachts and boats small and large.

one of the pioneer shipyards in Miami, conveniently located in the Miami river just 2 miles away from the ocean. This shipyard is about 100 years old. They fixed and service the biggest vessels around.

Thank you Andrea, Carlos, David and the rest of the team. All super professional and a pleasure to work with. They kept me informed every step of the way on the repairs for Gannet. The workmanship was high quality and done right! Couldn’t be more pleased or impressed. Thank you very much!!!

Jack Haney and the team at RMK Merrill Stevens are top notch.  Highly skilled, extremely professional and refreshingly honest .  Excellent customer service and communication.   Beautiful results.  Brought our 43 Azimut in for some engine work and other repairs and we could not be happier with our experience here from start to finish   Took the boat out over the weekend and it is running better than it has in years.  It is very unusual to find this level of skill and outstanding service in this business.  Wonderful team. Will continue on with all our service and maintenance here going forward.  Grateful to have found them.  I highly recommend!
