Marine Specialties recently converted my older model Hydro Hoist boat lift to fit my pontoon boat and did an outstanding job! I'd definitely recommend Sal and his very capable crew to anyone who needs work done on their boat lift or dock. Less

Marine Specialties did an Outstanding job on our dock renovation. Casey Assisted us with a boat lift & Jet ski ports. Mark assisted us with getting approx 300 feet of rip rap. His guys Juan, Santos & Wilfredo did an Amazing job! They went above & beyond for us ! We would defintly recommend them with an A+ from us!Gary & Toni Klaric 🙏 Less

We had a 25 plus year Econo lift that finally let go and needed replacement. I spoke with Sal with MS within 2 weeks they had the old pulled out with a brand-new Hydro lift installed. We are more than pleased with the job and lift they installed. Well done to all!! Highly recommend Marine Specialties for boat lift repairs, replacements and much much more!! Less

Mac Powell and the team at Marine Specialties did an outstanding job on our new Wahoo Dock! The quality and craftsmanship are top-notch, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Mac was especially helpful with navigating the permit process through the Corps of Engineers—his expertise made a huge difference. Highly recommend Marine Specialties if you’re looking for a professional, dependable team and a beautiful dock. Less

Marine Specialties has been great to work with, specifically Mac. Mac assisted me with purchasing a dock and arranged for MSI to move the dock to my house. Mac has been available to answer all my questions and help me through the process. Will continue to use MSI for my future needs. Less

We have been working with Marine Specialties for almost ten years including a new dock, dock moving program, a new pontoon boat hoist, remodeling the dock among their many services. We have always found them to be courteous and helpful as well as maintaining a high level of service and concern for the services they provide to us. Even when the occasional issue occurs they have always made sure that the issue is taken care of to our satisfaction. They certainly get my highest recommendation! Less

Called and spoke to Casey at Marine specialties in Gainseville Ga about the Hydrohoist shallow water lift for our new tritoon. Casey answered all my questions and we decided on a lift and install date,everything was handled professionally.Most important to me is the backbone of the company, technicians Rodriguez and Francisco G. They were efficient and did not stop until the job was done and installed, product explained and demonstrated with boat. Very pleased with product! Less

We recently had an extreme weather-related incident at our boathouse. We notified Marine Specialties (having worked with them before) and they immediately sent someone to triage the situation. They quickly sent an expert crew to assist us, securing the boathouse to prevent further damage and starting the needed repairs. Stephen was in touch with me throughout the process, and there was not a single moment that I felt "out of the loop" regarding the level of effort required and the work schedule. The crew assigned (Horatio (Lead), Blake, and Sergio) were not only experts at their craft, but also supportive when we needed to access the boathouse prior to repairs being finalized. The work was completed quickly (given the scope of effort required), and the level of craftsmanship observed was exceptional. Many thanks to Marine Specialties for taking great care of us!

These guys are great. I have used them over the years for riprap, stairs, lifts and dock repair. They are honest and always deliver high-quality work. I recommend them highly.Just an update. Continued great service and products. We just received our new dock which is amazing. Mac was great to work with and they even installed a cupola that I bought on-line at no extra cost. I could not be happier. Less

Marine Specialties did a great Rip Rap job for us… We had wanted to do it for several years but heard stories of backlogs and waiting lists…Mark Bannon and his Team made the entire process easy and flawless…It was a pleasure working with them and we appreciated their professionalism and diligence in getting it done for us… Less

We recently had a HydroHoist lift installed by Marine Specialties and they did a great job from start to finish! Casey walked me through the decision making process of which lift and why and how much. If you’re on the fence about which lift to choose…everyone I spoke to said HydroHoist. The install crew came out and installed and showed me how to use the lift as well! Thank you to everyone at Marine Specialties! They also did our riprap and stairs a few years back too. Pictures below! Less

Mr. Aparicio did a fantastic job and keep informing me via phone and text of everything he did with the relocation of my dock. I wish he could be assigned to my dock permanently. Much appreciated! Less

Right from the start it was a pleasure dealing with Marine Specialties for the purchase and installation of my new Wave Armor JetSki port. Casey Flannigan was very helpful in providing me with the information I needed as well as setting up delivery and installation in a very timely manner. The office staff was also very helpful anytime I called for information.In addition the installation by Fernando and Armando could not have gone smoother. They were both very friendly and professional and did a great job for me! A pleasure all around!! Less

After allowing our boat to sit in the water for a short period of time, we quickly realized the importance of a lift. Marine Specialties was recommended from several other boat owners. We purchased our lift in 2021. Installation was an easy process and time was taken to ensure the boat sat properly on the lift. They have been great to work with over the years handling any adjustments or questions quickly for us. Less

Needed our dock wired and a boat lift for our 24' Tritoon. Marine Specialties completed both quickly and at a very fair price. The electricians and boat lift installers were awesome. We're very pleased with the end results and now use our dock and boat more. We'll definitely use Marine Specialties again. Less

From Start to Finish, Marine Specialties was totally outstanding.I mean from everyone associated with this organization - Cody andJosh who performed the work to Sal who oversaw my project - Just Top Notch. Highly Recommended! So glad I contacted them. Thank You Less

I have been dealing with Marine Specialties for many years. They have re-decked, repaired, refloated, added to and rebuilt much of my dock. They also installed riprap. It is nice to not worry about the lake fluctuations when I know they will move my dock for me. Recently, they expedited the reattachment of the dock to the shore steps so we could received delivery of a new boat. I appreciate the service. Less

Our community dock was torn from its moorings on Lake Hartwell by Helene at 6:45 Friday morning. I worked with Joseph all day and at 5:00 PM Friday, he said he could have 2 work barges at our location on Saturday morning! The crew and barges showed up; team was knowledgeable and respectful. Dock was back in place by 3:30 PM. A successful dock rescue! Less

The job went very smoothly. The office crew led by Joseph And the lake crew led by Juan were very professional and courteous. They took the stress out of the project. Less

Great company to work with! Easy to review the options for my dock lift to make sure I had all the info on what my boat needed today and what upgrades would look like in the future. Installation was simple to setup, on time and finished as scheduled, couldn't have gone any smoother. Highly recommend Marine Specialties! Less

Just had Marine Specialties build a whole boat cover for my new 27 foot SeaRay. It completely covers the boat and goes on and off in just a few minutes. It allows our family to enjoy the boat so much more without the hassle of dealing with the traditional snap on covers. Highly recommend! Less

Trace and Josh installed my lift this week in extremely hot conditions—around 95 degrees. Despite the challenging weather and a few issues that arose during the installation, they remained calm and professional throughout the entire process. They ensured that everything was operating perfectly, taking extra time to make sure the boat fit securely and even providing a demonstration on how to tie the ropes to hold the boat in place. They thoroughly explained all aspects of operating the lift, despite the heat and long hours. I highly recommend requesting Trace and Josh if you're getting a lift installed. I’m extremely satisfied with my lift and glad I made this investment! Less

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mark Millwood the installation of rip rap along my shoreline, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From the initial consultation to the final touches, Mark Millwood, JulioAbraham and crew demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail.The entire process was seamless, with clear communication and a strong commitment to quality. Mark Millwood not only provided valuable insights into the best materials and techniques for the job but also ensured that the project was completed on time and within budget. The craftsmanship was outstanding, and the end result is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.I highly recommend Mark Millwood to anyone in need of marine construction services. Their dedication to delivering top-notch work and customer satisfaction is truly commendable.Thank you, Mark millwood, Julio, Abraham, and crew for a job well done!Sincerely,Stacie Hardesty Less

Marine Specialties saved my dock, making changes in their work schedules to get a team to repair it before the 4th of July weekend!!!At the head of the dock where the ramp meets the dock, the primary metal frame for the base (that the floats are attached to and that the deck flooring is laid on) broke at several connecting points where the cross pieces are welded together!As a result, the cracked edges of the frame were pushed up by the floats and in turn popped the screws that bolt down the deck flooring. The slates of the deck flooring were then sticking up 3-4”, causing hazards for walking on the deck.Being on the open channel of the lake, the dock is impacted by wake, especially on weekends and even more so on holidays!!!After multiple urgent calls and an onsite review by one of the work teams, Marine Specialties rescheduled a team to repair my dock on July 3, just in time before the busy 4th of July weekend!I am so thankful for their quick response and repair! If they had not repaired this issue before the 4th weekend, I’m sure the dock would have suffered even more damage and who knows to what extent and cost!!!Thank you to this team and to Marine Specialties overall for their quick response and their continuous support for my dock!We also use the dock move program which has very beneficial & worth the price! Less

Casey helped us with our jet ski lift and was absolutely fantastic. Mark is working with us know on putting some steps in and he has also been very responsive and great. Less

Mac and Kyle are business people for the community. They helped me with a dock removal in less than 24hours. If you’re looking for someone that can help you navigate all the proper rules with the Army Core of engineers this team at marine specialties is the company to go with. Less

Casey and team at Marine Specialities were amazing! They gave me a fair price on my HydroHoist and installed it within one week. The installers showed up timely and had everything installed in under 3 hours -- from arrival setup to dock install. As a new boat owner, they walked me through the usage and helped set up guidelines to ensure I was comfortable in the process. Highly recommend! Less

I had Marine Specialties install a boat lift for a customer on Lake Chatuge. Often times there are unknown variables with removing/installing boat lifts. Carlos and Matt did a fantastic job traversing those unknowns and completing the boat lift install. They worked well into the evening and didn’t stop until the job was done. Less

Mac and the Marine Specialties team were a dream to work with! They helped us to choose and design the perfect dock for us and then helped us to sell our old dock in the process. The install team was courteous and professional. The quality of the Wahoo dock is exceptional as well. We are well pleased with both our purchase and with the service we received from Marine Specialities. We would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a new dock! Less

Marine Specialties over the 4th of July week moved my dock area on Lake Lanier out to deeper water. They knew what they were doing and did a great job. They were quick and very friendly. I would highly recommend them to everyone!!! Less

Fantastic! Professional in every way. If they would let me do 10 stars I would. Dock moving program is fantastic. We had them do riprap along our entire shoreline and it looks great too. Less

My dock lift on my dock on Lake Hartwell was originally connected by Marine Specialties {MS} 20 yrs ago and this is the first problem I have ever had with the lift. This repair, however, by the staff at MS was excellent. The staff arrived on schedule, were very professional in all behavior or interactions. They got the job done in a timely manner as well. marv fralish Less

The team from Marine Specialties is courteous, attentive and delivers excellent service. They have done multiple projects for me from lift and dock additions, cleaning and dock moving. Less

Everyone at Marine Specialties are professionals in every respect. Their quote was very competitive and the work done by the crew that came out was exceptional. I will not be using anyone else in the future! Less

Marine Specialties has always been a great company to work with to handle all my dock needs. Recently, I had an issue with my dock box and Matt Fralish went out if his way to research the issue and then followed up with me on a solution the following day. I really appreciated Matt taking the time to help me. I highly recommend giving Marine Specialties a call. Less

Requested that Marine Specialties replace all the old rub rails on my Lake Lanier boat dock. They quoted the replacement, set a timeframe for completion, and promptly made the replacement. Looks great and was a very professional result. Thanks MSI. Less

They did a great job start to finish installing a new lift into my slip on our neighborhoods community dock. I only wish my dock neighbor would have used Marine Specialties as well instead of another local dock company for his lift. Anyone reading this, save yourself a lot of potential headaches and just call Marine Specialties. Less

Tom ShortsI had an old HydroHoist down at my dock that has been in the lake for 20+ years. Well it finally died, and became totally unusable. This put me in a bind as I had nowhere else to put my center console. I contacted Casey Flannagan at Marine Specialties on 5/29/24, and explained my situation. Casey got me a quote the same day for a new 5,000 lb. HydroHoist, and I ordered it. Much to my surprise Casey juggled his schedule to accommodate my situation. His crew (2 guys) showed up on Monday 6/3/24 to remove the old lift and install the new one.The installation guys were very professional, and did very neat work, that I was more than pleased with.My entire experience with Marine Specialties from my first call until the lift was installed was all very pleasant and professional.Hats off to Casey and the entire team at Marine Specialties, for getting me taken care of so quickly! I would highly recommend Marine Specialties to anyone needing these kind of services! Less

My experience with Marine Specialties was fantastic. I called on them to reinstall my lift in a new slip, and once again the service, timeliness and courtesy they provided was excellent. Do not hesitate to call on them, they can be trusted to autograph their workmanship with Excellence. Less

Mac and his crew at MSI did an amazing job on our new dock! The experience was wonderful and we are extremely happy with our new dock from MSI. We also have used MSI for rip rap and boat lift. Every process has been great! I highly recommend MSI for any lake project! Less

I recently purchased a hydohoist lift from Marine Specialties. The team was very pleasant, communicated effectively and the installation was efficient and on time. I worked with Sal on the purchase and Carlos and Hermando did the installation. My experience was very positive. Less

Marine Specialties was a pleasure to work with throughout the repair process! Eachof the staff were polite and professional. The quoted price was not changed once it was sent to me.The crew ( Horatio and Misael) were efficient, polite and well trained to do the work we needed done!I would highly recommend Marine Specialties for any dock repair or refurbishing you need.YJackspencer Less

Marine specialties was great to work with! They worked around me ordering a boat and waiting for it to arrive to install my lift and remove my old one when I sold it! Great staff! Helpful and very accommodating! Will and have referred people to them! Less

The customer service and install team for my boat lifts were awesome! Very prompt and gave me updates along the way, no issues and was a very seamless process. I would highly recommend them and would use MSI again for sure. Less

Fantastic experience. The level of communication is unmatched -- they kept me updated and informed throughout the process. The installation of the lift was efficient and they were professional.Highly recommend. Less

Marine Specialties was GREAT! They were very helpful in figuring out which pontoon lift and jetski ports I needed without defaulting to the most expensive. They also fixed my old boat lift while they were there! Most importantly, they communicated with me how quickly they could do the work and answered my countless questions. Great experience! Less

Great service. Professional, polite, and knowledgeable. Had my Hydrohoist lift installed by a different company that did not do it right.....Folks at Marine Specitlites can and fixed right, and replace parts on jet ski lifts. Less

We had Marine Specialists install our hydroHoist boat lift a few years back and when we moved, they recently came and moved it for us. Excellent customer service. Kept us updated on the progress and everything was done to perfection. Highly recommend this team. Less

Very professional and their work is always top notch. I have had many services performed by Marine Specialists, most recently I replaced my bowrider with a pontoon and a team had to come out (led by Cody) to reconfigure my lift and slip. After approx. 4 hours, I went down to take a look and everything was great and hung around for a bit thinking that they were done. But Cody wasn't quite satisfied. The team invested another 2+ hours realigning the lift and even had to have some additional parts brought out. Now, everything is perfect. They truly didn't have to go the extra mile, but I appreciate their diligence. Less

I had damage to my dock where the ramp was damaged and the dock was unstable in april 2024 due to high winds. I called at 8 am monday morning and explained the situation. Marine specialties send a crew out within 24 hrs . Although they were unable to raise the ramp that day, they stabilized the dock and communicated with me . They returned with a larger barge within another 48 hrs and was able to raise the ramp, put the plastic floatation under it and make the dock usable. They are 5 star in communication and timely and seems to understand the nature of the problem Less

Marine Specialties just installed riprap in my dock area on Lake Lanier. They did a great job all around and I would recommend them for the job if you need it done. My dock is in a cove and they worked with my neighbors and their docks to get the barge and equipment in to do the job. They did a great job coordinating several dock moves to make it happen. Less

The folks at Marine Specialties were great. They were on time, professional and fixed my problem the day they promised. I would highly recommend them for your service needs. Thank you. Less

I'd just purchased a new boat and was inerested in having a lift at our dock installed. I sent an email I sent an email to Marine Specialties inquiring about a Hydro Hoist on a Sunday. That very evening Casey reached out to me and let me know he'd do some research to make sure I got the right Hydro Hoist for my boat. Casey got back to me the next day and provided me with a quote for two different units. We spoke on the phone and he talked me through the benefits of both and agreed that the smaller/less expensive unit would work for my needs. I appreciated him being concerned with what I needed vs "upselling" me.I was hoping to get the HH installed immediately, however it's a busy time of year and my install was rougly two weeks out. Casey reached out to me a few days later and was able to move me up on their schedule. I really appreciated that. The HH looks great, is easy to use, the people at Marine Specialties were wonderful to work with, and Casey is just good people. You can just tell after speaking with him. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Marine Specialties for taking such good care of me. Less

Josh and Trace just came out to reposition and repair my Hydro Hoist for my new pontoon. What a great couple of guys. They did superior work and were really nice. Marine Specialties has created a great, customer friendly culture. Highly recommend. Less

Marine Specialties did a great job from sales to install on my new Hydro hoist boat lift installed at Harbor Point on Lake Lanier. Total Professionals. I highly recommend. Less

Purchase and install of a 6600UL2-2T Black HydroHoist Boat Lift at our Marine dock slot. Perfect transaction from the selection process working with Casey to the install team whom treated my boat with "kid gloves". Awesome experience from a First Class team. Many thanks! Less

Marine Specialties has recently built a new boat dock, installed rip rap for erosion control, put a new solar powered boat lift on the new dock, and they are repairing another dock for us. Mac Powell has been the most professional and easy person to work with. He went above and beyond to keep us informed about everything that was going on and sent pictures daily. He even called after hours if we had questions. Every single employee at Marine Specialties has been more than courteous and we are recommending to all of our friends for dock repair, dock moving, or new docks! We are so thankful Marine Specialties made this such an easy process for us! We are loving our new dock and know we will enjoy for years to come! Less

We just had 400 feet of rip rap installed on our new property. We are beyond pleased with the attention to detail and quality of work that we experienced. Our crew was exceptional and worked hard. We highly recommend Marine Specialties if you are looking to make your shoreline beautiful. Less

We had Marine Specialties rip-rap our shore line. While it took a while to get to the head of the line (there is always a long backlog for rip-rap), the end product was great. We were kept informed about the project, the team worked hard in some tough winter conditions and our shoreline now looks great. David was great to work with and accommodated us even when we had to make a few changes mid-project. Less

We really appreciate the folks at Marine Specialties. We have been dealing with a somewhat complicated dock move situation given the location of our property on the lake. Kyle has been very proactive and creative in working on alternative solutions for us. And Horacio and his team have been awesome so far. Very professional and skilled at what they do. Best dock move company on the lake! Less

Been using Marine Specialties since we got our lake house five years ago. They have done a great job with the dock move program and helping me with upkeep and maintenance on the dock. Always very responsive and easy to work with. Less
