"Just a short note to thank you for doing such a fine job for the "Lady D" and the crew..."

"During the 30 years we have been operating our resort business in Fiji, it was always very difficult to find any reliable and competent trades people to work on our boats. This all changed when Baobab Marine set up business. We enjoy and appreciate the high standard of work from professionals who understand the marine business..."

"...By this small mail we wish to show our gratitude. During our trip which started in France we have had to make some repairs on the boat in different places. Our experience with Baobab Marine at Vuda was excellent, even the best. We were surprised to find on an island in the middle of the Pacific a company with many equipment and skills under one roof. In addition your team is very friendly and happy and obviously very proud to work for the company. Certainly because you were sailors yourself you understand what sailors need and dream to find..."

"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 exceptional 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."

"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!"

"...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."

"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."

"Baobab industries were involved in several projects aboard Bel'mare, including the replacement of damaged teak on the aft deck, installation of strong points in the deck to accommodate pad-eyes, paint touch ups and some stainless steel fabrication.

The work was carried out in a professional manner to a high standard within tight time restrictions.

Brian was constantly aware of progress on-board 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."
