Mariner quickly responded to my request for a visit to examine the condition of my boat lift pilings and give me a recommendation. A quote was provided in a detailed and timely manner. The work was done approximately in the timeline I was given. Mariner was definitely more responsive than other companies and the price was competitive.

Mariner replaced our aging seawall and dock. Their quote was very detailed and the pricing was reasonable. The quality of their work was exceptional. Communication with them before, during and after construction was completed has been very good. 90 feet of seawall and a 70-foot dock was a large project for us but they worked diligently to finish the job in a timely manner. I highly recommend the crew at Mariner Dock & Seawall.

I've been living in Bradenton for over 30 yrs, I needed service work done to my boat lift, motors and seawall. Mariner Dock and Seawall reviewed my projects, offered competitive quotes and followed up with outstanding service. Everyone of their team members did a terrific job and a big shout out to their grounds team that came to finished the job at the seawall. I would highly recommend Mariner to anyone in the area!

Big fan of these guys. I had a handful of companies come out and offer options for my tricky river access. Mariner had the best solution and a fair price. If I need another dock or boat lift this is my first call.

As the HOA president of a community in Bradenton, Florida, we recently had to deal with a code enforcement issue involving our retention wall. We chose Mariner Dock & Seawall to help us, and they were fantastic from start to finish. They handled everything—permits, communication, and the final inspection—with professionalism and great timing, which made the whole process so much easier for our community. Their work was excellent, and we never had to chase them for updates. They even went above and beyond the contract to make sure everything was completed on time. One thing we really appreciated was how easy they were to reach; whenever we contacted them, they responded the same day or the next. I truly recommend Mariner Dock & Seawall for any retention wall or seawall project. They made a stressful situation simple and smooth for all of us.

I relied on the professionals at Mariner Dock and Seawall to help me navigate the confusing waters of permissions, permits, and HOA details needed to build my new dock. Thanks to Erin for her tireless efforts to get the details taken care of, and thanks to Nik and his crew for building me a beautiful dock. Nik just met me on the dock to make certain everything was properly adjusted for my new 24' Seahunt boat. I felt like they really cared about this project, and delivered the dock for thousands of dollars less than their competition. I highly recommend this company.

We have just engaged w Scott and his Team after a 9 month fiasco with another seawall company. Scott’s team has done more in one week than the other company did in 9mos. Scott sold me on his fairness in pricing, his communication skills, and his technical knowledge on how to build a seawall. A total professional experience and couldn't give them a higher recommendation!

This review is long overdue. Mariner Dock & Seawall installed a new dock and elevator lift at my house in Nokomis about 2.5 years ago. The crew did a fantastic job on both the dock and lift. I have had no issues. A neighbor used another contractor about a year prior and already had to replace his lift due to excessive electrolysis. This was due to an improper electrical install. I have had none of those problems. Even my decking still looks new whereas my neighbor’s decking has faded and looks 20 years old. Jesus was extremely responsive during the entire process. So much so I will say he is the most responsive contractor I have ever worked with. He is always open to listening to your ideas or concerns throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate to use Mariner again.

We were fortunate to be referred to Mariner Dock and Seawall for a patio issue that was becoming a real headache the last few years. Finding a firm that kept their word, showed up, and that we felt comfortable with was difficult. In the meantime, the patio including our steps continued to deteriorate. From our very first meeting, everyone including office administrator, Erin, was very professional. Scott, an owner, arrived to assess the situation and soon thereafter our project was scheduled. The construction crew was onsite every day, first thing in the morning, and worked diligently all day. Regular inspections by management were made. On the last day of work, Scott made a visit to our home to make a final inspection and even sent a crew in the next day to complete some fine details so that this project would be perfect. We are grateful for the integrity, work ethic, and excellent workmanship of this firm. I worked in the architectural/engineering field my entire career, and my father and my husband's father were building contractors, so our standards are high. Mariner did not disappoint at all. Our new deck (which used to be a crumbling patio) is beautiful, without flaw, and everyone who has seen it is very impressed, especially our neighbors. We are extremely happy with the outcome, even beyond our expectations. Of course, pictures are worth a thousand words, so I have attached before and after photos.

Great company! As the owner of a boat tour company in AMI and living on the water with personal boats, these guys play a huge roll. If we need a cable that snapped, it’s repaired immediately so that our tour boats don’t miss a beat to building a custom dock home setup that helped make our home value increase. This is the group to go with! 10 stars

We needed a partial seawall replacement that did not interfere with neighboring attachment and be secured to existing portion. Mariner successfully accomplished this. As for timing, as soon as the permit was issued, they were ready to start. Jesus, Erin, and work crew were quick to address our concerns during the project. Thank you all!

Estimate was scheduled & Scott showed up on time! I live in Palmetto & the local contractor thought I wanted to use, made me promises for 4 mo. & never did give me an estimate! Mariner was great about starting the job by agreed date & sticking with it daily until it was done. Erin in the office did an excellent job of handling any problems, & keeping me informed. The dock & lift look great. The permitting process for the city & state were a challenge, but now that they have been through it for this area, it should go smoothly for next Palmetto customer.

Mariner Dock & Seawall gave me a very fair bid on installing two snap jackets and 32 piling wraps. They showed up on time, did what they said they would do and cleaned up after themselves. I was delighted with their workmanship. The owner Jesus was a delight to deal with and I'm happy to recommend them.

Honest and reliable company to work with. Jesus was always very responsive and kept to his word on deliverables and getting the Job done. We had a more complex and challenging job installing an elevator lift at an unconventional site on Anna Maria north island. The engineering plans were not accurate enough and plans and pilings had to be complete repositioned. Then the lift that was initiallly installed at the undesired/wrong location had to be repositioned/reinstalled to get it just right. Mariner staff patiently worked with me through the process to get it all fully dialed in. A long process along with a new house construction worked on emotions and hard calls, but Mariner stuck with it to get a fabulous looking new dock and lift in place. Be sure to keep communications open and checking expectations and end results and you will be well served with Mariner.

I just want to say tha Jesus A. is the best! He called me right back and came over to my place the same day to give me an estimate on my boat lift. He stopped out the day his crew was working and explained exactly what was being done and explained less expensive options. A + to Jesus for customer service! Thanks Jesus!!!

Scott and his team did a great job installing a new dock and lift for me 3 years ago. Recently the contacts in my Gem control box became corroded and stuck closed. Scott and team cleaned up the contacts to add a few years more life to the contacts. Always great service, always on-time and a great value.

Scott and the boys have done excellent work for us numerous times. From replacing and covering pilings to our latest need; new motors on our lift. Not only does Mariner do great work, but Scott responds instantly and has come to the house the same day I called. I cannot say enough positives about Scott and Mariner Seawall. Take the worries out of the project and call them today! - Mike Zimmerman

Just had a 10k lift put in to replace my 30+ year old unit. Got fast quote and within weeks had them removing old lift and replacing it with new. They were able to use my remote control unit and within days new lift was installed. I reached out to a few lift companies and most did not get back to me or never followed up. They called, they quoted, they installed and will service my new lift. When you hang a new boat off cables and you want to feel like your boat is protected this is your company.

I contracted with Mariner Dock & Seawall to build our dock in Holmes Beach. They were extremely efficient and finished the job in a very timely manner.

I reached out to several companies to get quotes and walk through exactly what I needed and expected. Mariner Dock and Seawall was the only company to truly take the time and listen to what my thoughts were and shared their experience and expertise with me which led me to some great changes throughout the buildout of the dock. I am so pleased with the results as well as the friendliness and professionalism of the team that worked on my dock.

If you are looking to have dock or seawall work done you owe it to yourself to meet with Mariner Dock and Seawall.

Mariner Dock and Seawall did an outstanding job designing and installing a custom made floating dock for my property. I was looking for a 10’ dock to go up and down with the tide so we could launch our kayaks with ease. Plus I wanted it to look very nice in the water. Their attention to detail, design and installation experience and quality materials used resulted in giving me just what I was looking for. And the customer service was outstanding. I highly recommend this company.

This company is great to do business with. From the owner to the guys that came out and Did my work, they were all very professional, on time and great to work with. I got my lift recabled and new aluminum bunks and couldn’t be happier with it. The lift was noisy and personally scary to use before it was serviced. Now its smooth and quiet, and certainly not scary anymore. My wife’s glad because now I don’t make her get down in the boat while using because I thought a cable might snap and really hurt one of us! Great company!

Great job and excellent response time! I have been more than impressed with their service. Since my original post Mariner have replaced my dock using the existing piling. What a great job!

Great people to deal with. I called three other companies and nobody could get out to look at my broken lift for two weeks. Brian was at my house the next morning just after the sun came up to assess the situation. Within minutes he said, "we can get this lift out of the water, let me get my wetsuit". 15 minutes later my lift was out of the salt water ... He finished his inspection and Scott sent me a fair estimate for full repair the same day. These guys are the best. Responsive, honest and hard working - excellent service!

From the bid process to the work, Mariner Dock and Seawall are exceptional. This energetic and remarkably professional company followed through, never gave up and did an exceptional job with our dock. Just as importantly the pricing was both transparent and reasonable (better service than the larger companies and a much better price). The workers are polite, considerate and extremely dedicated to perfection. My wife and I could not recommend them more highly and this is something we rarely do given how often people in trades I’m Florida can let you down. Call them and ask for my number, happy to send pics and share are experience!

So excited about the new boat, I overlooked the fact that I still had the same old lift. Old cables, old wooden bunks, couldn’t sleep thinking something would fail and ruin our boating dreams. I called Mariner ( Scott E. ) explained my dilemma and he was able to arrange repairs that day! Prompt, professional, knowledgeable and polite, best service experience I’ve had in Florida. The tech’s that worked on my lift have a vested interest in the Company, and it shows. If you need anything dock, lift or seawall related do not settle for less than what Mariner offers. Trust me, this Company is a breath of fresh air, and a total pleasure to work with.

A new company, but years of experience make this a no brainer for anything dock, lift and sea wall related. They’re owner operated, extremely knowledgeable and ready for the big difference... Responsive! I had a lift installed by a different company, found Scotty and his team - and they swept up after the original installer. I have used them for dock work, cradle work, cable work, limit switch and remote installation, new bunks - my lift and dock is so awesome thank to these guys. Wish I would’ve used them to begin with. You want your dock, lift and seawall to be done right the first time - it’s what allows you the freedom to go boating. Trust me - save yourself time, money and headaches - use Mariner Dock and Seawall.
