Testimonials
"After travelling 20 000 miles with our cutter rigged Syjoli III, we have tested different boatyards, good and bad, all over".
"Good news folks. Here in Fiji, we hauled out in Vuda Point Marina and had our boat worked on. Paint, mechanical, osmosis treatment and other bits and pieces were handled by Baobab Marine under the management of Brian and Willy in a very highly professionnal way. Very good pricing, very good quality work and respect of deadlines seems to be the only way they worked".
"We had asked around with other cruisers prior to work and everybody had only praises for them".
"A big thank you to Brian and Willy".

"The work was carried out in a professional manner to a high standard within tight time restrictions".
"Brian was constantly aware of progress onboard and managed his team well to complete daily work lists".
"I have no hesitation recommending Baobab industries as a reliable and efficient maritime support company".

"Every once in a while someone surprises you with service above and beyond. This has happened only twice in our five years of cruising. Upon slipping we allowed the Baobab crew limited access at first but then finding them honest and fair, I gave them a wider run. After 7 months of first class service on various works, their quality has never once faltered. I personally recommend Baobab Marine to any and all with confidence".

"Hi Brian, we are now in Opua, New Zealand. Everything you did by way of repairs and modification to the boat has performed well. Thank you for a good job."

"....My best to all the crew that worked so well on Ken-B. Your boat services are as good and better than anything I have encountered over the last seven years of cruising from the Chesapeake to Fiji."

"Just a quick update - after your work on our shaky transmission and dodgy depth transducer we had an excellent few weeks cruising to Savusavu, Vanuabalavu and on down through the southern Lau to Fulaga, then a strenuous 12 day passage against stiff southerlies back to Opua. The depth transducer arrangement is still going strong.
Thanks to you and to George for your excellent service while we were at Vuda. We have passed the word on!"

"S/V Aldebaran arrived in Vuda Marina in August of 2007 with a long list of boat repairs and a major time constraint.
It was with great pleasure that we were introduced to the gentlemen at Baobab Marine who were so proficient and punctual that all major repairs were completed ahead of schedule and to eceptional quality standards, including a last minute bronze brazing job when an essential water manifold became damaged and began leaking less than 24 hours before the slated departure.
This reference was written without their knowledge or consent, and I hope that it will encourage them to maintain their professionalism in providing services to the marine industry. Although I expect they have no trouble attracting business, I also hope that this message will point traveling yachts in need of repairs in the right direction.
When you are circumnavigating the globe by sailboat, you develop an eye for outstanding marine services and how valuable they are. Baobab has our complete endorsement, and we look forward to doing business with them on our next time around."
