TESTIMONIALS

Bobby made a set [of fighting chairs] for my boat 15 years ago and they are the only thing on the boat that the charters haven’t managed to break! Bullet proof!! Thanks Croswait!!

The Croswaits are an excellent family to work with as they are very accommodating.  By family, I literally mean family.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that they are 3rd generation boat builders, taught by none other than their legendary grandfather Buddy Cannady and their father Bobby.

Tom Wilson

Croswait Marine Services exceeded our expectations! The guys were knowledgeable, responsive, and first class. They installed new electronics, new mezzanine, new entertainment center, new carpet, and much more. Aaron and Jordan have the knowledge and experience to make your boat anything you can dream of!
