TESTIMONIALS
What people are saying
Michael O.
The purpose of this review is to share with you the very professional relationship that I had in working with Phil as he did troubleshooting and ultimately repaired several mechanical and electrical problems with my Hinckley Talaria 43. I would highly recommend anybody using Phil as he is very professional and reliable.

Phil does it all — captaining, training, equipment provisioning, check-ins and maintenance. He’s my go-to guy for anything and everything relating to my Hinckley jet boat, which he knows inside and out after almost two decades with the manufacturer. We’re in good hands with Phil!

Phil did an outstanding job of teaching my wife and I how to run our Hinckley 36’ Picnic Boat. He had a thorough and complete answer for every question we asked, and basically we couldn’t stump him. He was also extremely patient with us and never made us feel foolish. Hopefully, he will be available for a refresher class when the boat gets launched next spring.
