Action Marine NC

First and foremost, Marty and Carson are incredible folks. As we found out, their skills and knowledge on all things nautical is unparalleled. They have just reconditioned our boat and we are perfectly happy with the results. They also answered all of our questions with patience and expert advice. We recommend them wholeheartedly!

Marty started working on my boat several years ago when the other local marinas continued to both not do what they charged for like not changing a hard to get to fuel filter but charged for it and taking weeks to schedule you in after you bought a new boat from them. Nobody wants to wait 2- weeks in the summer for a service or repair AND BE OVERCHARGED.Marty is professional and reasonable on pricing. BUT MOST OF ALL. HONEST. Highly recommend this guy.!

I couldn't be happier that I found Action Marine to service my 20 ft skiff and outboard engine a couple of years ago. Marty and Carson know what they are doing, communicate well, and charge reasonable prices for their work. I've taken my boat and motor there each year for annual post-season service as well as for repair and replacement of engine, electronic and other parts. Will not use anyone else if I can help it.

From my initial phone call to schedule an appointment until I picked up my boat a few days later, Marty was helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. Based upon his diagnosis, I replaced my boat’s starter and was back on the water the next day. Thank you Marty, and I will definitely take my boat back to Action Marine for all future maintenance and repair needs!

Marty and his son have an excellent business! They are superior at diagnosing the problem and fixing the boat in a timely manner. They can figure out what’s wrong with your boat when no one else can! We totally recommend them to have you back on the water!

Honestly can not say enough about how good Action Marine is! Updated us on what was going on with our boat and trailer, fairly priced and professional quality work. I work in the auto repair industry and I've seen some hacks out there and Marty is not one of them. If I need something else done to the boat I don't mind driving 2 and half hours for them to work on it. Down to earth and honest

Action Marine was truly a great find. My engine wasn't shifting properly so I called Marty and we discussed a plan of approach to identify the root cause. Marty went over and beyond expectations and we have even laid out some off season maintenance items that will be addressed in the near future. If you are looking for someone that will pick up the phone and is willing to help you right then, Call Action Marine!

Our family was on vacation at OIB and we had a malfunction with our steering helm! Contacted Atlantic Marine and they were able to fit us in quickly so we did not have to go without our boat (Carolina Skiff) on vacation! Very kind, hard working guys and fixed the issue!! Very much recommend! -Mark Mendell

We had a wonderful experience with Marty, he was our 3rd call for help on a Friday around 5:00pm and he came as Soon as he could. He knows his stuff but is very down to earth and reasonably priced.

I was down on vacation when my motor started acting up really bad while me and family were simply riding through the inlet and Marty was the only repair shop that would answer the phone and was also extremely quick to diagnose and resolve the problem. I got my boat back the next day. Excellent service.

The repairs to my boat were professionally done and the communication was great. Even with the busy spring season I had my boat back within a week. They also check out more than I asked them to and returned my boat clean.

Marty has been working on my boats since 1999. His knowledge of outboard and inboard engines is second to none. He is also one the best wiring guys around. He can add something as simple as led lighting to your boat or add the most complex electronics as well. He recently added 7 rod holders to my current boat as well as a second Simrad 12” NSS unit. In the next few weeks he will be adding a 36v Rhodan 84” trolling motor with an onboard charger to the boat as well.
I promise you, once you use Marty for anything, you will never go anywhere else!
He is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet and his prices are the most reasonable in the area.

Marty was super helpful with getting me an anchor for my boat and has super affordable prices. Great customer service and I highly recommend his shop for any of your needs!

After taking my boat to several places who could not fix my it, Action Marine not only fixed my issue but also got my boat running better than ever! I highly recommend them.

Today was my first day fishing at sun set... all was going well until my graph went black... needless to say I want to know my depth... I googled boat repair and action marine came up... I called and got Marty on the phone...he said bring it by and he'd look at it....he was able to determine it was the breaker in the storage box.... what a life saver and great guy along with his son...plus gave us some great fishing tips.... thank you so much Marty.... sincerely, Jeff Meyer

Marty and Carson are very knowledgeable and made sure to answer any questions i had (Even ones that may have been a bit silly) with care, patience and kindness. I will never go anywhere else! Thank you Marty and Carson!

I highly recommend this business! Marty is knowledgeable and fair. He took the time to explain my options and I'm sure he worked late to get me back on the water.
