Great DIY Boatyard, 2011-06-27
This is a serious no frills DIY boatyard located on an old commercial fishing landing. Once catering to the commercial fishing fleet's repair needs with a marine railway, the yard has been upgraded to a modern Travelift with a 75 ton capacity.
All work is either DIY or by local subcontract marine service companies with the exception of hauling and pressure washing which is done by the yard staff.
There is a West Marine located within 1 miile and the yard allows outside supplies to be used. They have a minimal inventory of supplies available in stock, but will order anything you ask.
The staff is EXTREMELY easy to deal with, and in spite of just having a family member pass away, were very helpful. I would recommend this yard to anyone who wants to do their own work.

Had a great experience in boatyard. Everyone was very helpful and extremely nice. Thank you for keeping the boatyard a DIY boatyard.. it's awesome that you can do everything yourself.. and if you want to you can hire contractors that are very professional and do not get a 20% charge added to your bill for using them. Plus no hidden fees and what you are quoted is what you pay! Thanks again 3D we will be back!!!

I have hauled out in and worked in about a dozen yards and 3D is head and shoulders better. Thought about going up the coast to a slightly cheaper yard but I'm glad I didn't. David the owner and son Donald go out of there way to help you with any request. Including last minute end of the day requests, things like loading a Harley onto a boat. Real gentlemen, and a pleasure to work with, top honors.

FIVE STARS-----
Do it yourself yard,
I loved this marina because it was so affordable, we could do ALL out own work, and the staff (Jamie, Donald and Nilo) was very accommodating. We were out for 5 days and the 2 gallons of bottom paint cost more than the haul-out. (Our 37 ft boat--$861 total!) Bring extension cords--you will need them.
Lots of local fisherman and cruisers use this yard. You can walk to Dionne's quick mart--buy food and ice and get back by taxi for $6. You can get to the Mc Donalds in Key West for internet. You can dingy over to Safe Harbor Marina. There is also bus service to Key West a 15 minute walk from the yard.
Now the one bathroom for the entire yard is not pretty--I showered with my Tevas on--but I was not there for a resort style vacation; I was there to paint the bottom--and I was on a budget.

Recommend this marina for a quick haul and do-it-yourself work. Several live aboards in the yard while owners modify or restore their boats. 5 stars for friendliness & competence of personnel.
