Need AC repair near Palm beach

[motoryacht lover]

Think it's time to replace my cruisair AC in my salon. I am in Palm beach gardens, fl. Any recommendations on who to do the work? Thanks for your time.

A friend of mine in Miami recently replaced his AC units with something other than Cruisair. I'm waiting for a call back from him, and will repost the info when he calls me back. Significant because it was half the price...and his new ACs work great! I'm also told that Cruiseair/Marine Air are not the quality products they once were.

Gulfstream Marine AC in West Palm/Riviera Beach is about the only game in town. Super Nice People. Excellent Work. They stand behind everything they do. BUT...their labor rate and pricing schedule goes way beyond reasonable in my opinion. I was especially displeased by their full labor rate charges for travel to the boat on top of the MAXIMUM retail price for every last little thing.

Yes, I do use Gulfstream. You will be totally pleased with everything they do...except the final bill.

Hi Motoryacht lover. I just heard back from my friend. The AC units he went with were the WEBASTO units. Fully self contained. Air Handler and Compressors all in one unit that fit into the space of the original Cruiseair air handler units alone. Super Quiet.

You can check with Yacht Air and Electric in Deerfield Beach. They are an authorized WEBASTO dealer in this area. 954-427-3843. Or Seabreezemarineco@gmail.com. In fact, we are running my buddy's 58 Hatteras from Lauderdale up to Palm Beach Yacht Center next Tuesday, where the boat will be for the rest of next week if you would like to look at the replacement unit he installed.

It's an option that could save you a few bucks.

Fred Schultz in Stuart (Anchor Air) 772-979-2203. Fair and honest.

My Baltimore guy is in Ft Pierce right now and might be willing to go to you. If the install is simple, he used to simply charge retail and install free. Woody Sherrod 443-831-0556. Have the brand and model numbers handy when you call.

Thank you both very much for the responses. Am contemplating the ocean breeze unit. It's helpful to hear that cruisair even may not be what it used to be. Ocean breeze or air is cheaper which makes you wonder if it is a quality product but maybe it is just as good or better than cruisair is now. Thanks again.
