Testimonials
“I have been dealing with Taranto Marine Team for over 20 years with various boat Charter companies I have worked for, they have always been reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend them. I like the way they work and by keeping you informed to ensure the job is completed to a high standard.”
“David has done several small and large projects for my boats on the harbour. He’s always incredibly professional and accommodating. I know I can trust him to work diligently even when I’m not there.”
“I’ve been hiring Taranto Marine since I first moved to Sydney over 20 years ago. They always service and maintain my boat with the highest quality service possible, there’s nothing they can’t do.”
“I’ve always had a motor problems on my boat since I bought it and have taken it to serval boat engineers, but problems would always come back. Since Taranto Marine worked on it last year, it’s been working perfectly. I’m so grateful!”
