Marra Marine Reviews

When you go to refit your boat it’s like remodeling your home. You can have a variety of experiences along the way. These guys made it a wonderful experience for us. At every turn you could tell they would go above and beyond - they fixed every leak, they were so precise in their work, and they came up with ideas and solutions we hadn’t thought of. They also work really well with all the contractors that are not a part of their team but are necessary to get the complete result. They are everything you would hope for in a contractor- what sets them apart is the quality of workmanship they consistently deliver. The work they did was so good when we got back to the boat, we continued to find additional things we wanted them to do! We highly recommend them and the Tauranga marina for all marine boat work, inside and out.

Very happy with Marra marine, initially needed rotting floorboard replaced and ski pole strengthened. While carpet was up decided to replace it with foam flooring - looks mint and very happy. very good updates from Tim through the job.

Thanks for the review Fitzy, you cannot go wrong with that flooring - we highly recommend and stand by the product so it was a great decision to make. Enjoy the family boating days ahead with that soft feel under foot!!

Marra Marine, have been a trusted presence at Tauranga Marina's for many years. Their methodical approach to boat building consistently transforms vessels old and new build. I have seen firsthand the pride they take in their work and hear great feedback regularly. Professional, reliable, and always delivering top-quality results. They have done a number of jobs on my boat and my fathers boat. Thanks Tim and team.
