★★★★★

“Mark and Doug in particular were both wonderful, but naming them only seems to leave out the other staff that were also wonderful, attentive, and very professional! Would highly recommend Larsen to anyone on Lake MI. They are truly top notch!!”

★★★★★

“We recently required emergency and significant repairs to our sailboat, and Larsen demonstrated “above the call” dedication and attention to detail necessary to get us safely back on the water. Whether for storage, maintenance or repair, you can trust them to provide personal and expert care at a fair price.”

★★★★★

“Larsen Marine installed all new Raymarine electronics on our Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40.3 four years ago. I have nothing but raves about the equipment and the service provided. The Axiom system is super intuitive and has been 100% reliable. All the instruments are integrated, making everything so simple to use. I would HIGHLY recommend both these electronics and the team at Larsen for their great work.”

★★★★★

“The staff at Larsen Marina has always been professional and service minded. The team in the ship store are not only very friendly and helpful, they are also very knowledgeable and has provided a solution every problem I ever had.”

★★★★★

“I don’t know how they do it with all of their customers, but the folks at Larsen Marine know you by name when you walk in. I’ve owned and stored my sailboat at Larsen since 2018. They are also supportive of the local boating community and make it possible for us to place and retrieve our cumbersome race marks every spring and fall. Thank you very much Doug and Larsen Marine.”

★★★★★

“Larsen’s goes that extra mile to help you. In the past they have gone above and beyond to help us. Highly recommend them and can’t thank them enough for all their help over the years.”

★★★★★

“When you look around the boatyard you will see that everything is extremely well organized and very clean. No jungle of boat cradles or junk. Two bays for lifting boats with three (count them three!) boat lifting machines. Please take a look at the mast storage building. Just amazing. I would recommend Larsen Marine for anyone needing boat storage for the winter.”

★★★★★

“Larsen Marine has been around a very long time. Simply because they are one of the very best on the great lakes. Sales, service, and parts. If they cant help. I dont know who can.”
