My wife and I are from California and bought a boat in Fort Lauderdale. The previous owner introduced us to Martin and he was one of the best parts of waiting to deliver it to the West Coast. He meticulously studied the survey and helped identify and fix the important issues. In the course of his care he was able to replace a broken engine mount, replace a bilge pump, service the air conditioning loop, and replace a water pump and accumulator. He was able to troubleshoot and fix several electrical system malfunctions which included finding a new inverter and knowing when and who to call call for a certified marine electrician to come to the boat. If he can't fix it himself, he will know who to call to get it fixed.
Whenever there was an issue with the boat he would always find a solution and then call simply for approval to fix the problem. Added to the problem solving and mechanical expertise he was a great instructor for my wife and I, teaching systems and sailing with us and instructing us how to work as a crew. He is kind, caring and competent as well as really fun to be around.
Our boat was always spotless and kept in an constant state of readiness by a true consumate professional.
If you have a boat and need a captain, look no further than Martin Hazan.
5 stars only because there aren't more.
