“I have been looking for a reliable engine repair company in Miami for over 5 years and I finally found it with Ethan at EG Marine! My Yamaha 300 Outboard has 4200 hours on it and I was experiencing low voltage issues that caused the engine to shut off. I had my previous repair company take a look and they couldn’t figure out the problem. When I called Ethan for a diagnostic he found the problem in 10 minutes. He also found out that my previous repair place wasn’t performing the services I was paying for. I still can’t believe it. I was on the verge of buying a whole new 30K engine and with the help of Ethan he replaced my stator, regulator, belts, and now my engine is running better than ever. I have no doubts that I will get this engine to 10K hours. I now have a new service company and piece of mind that I will be getting exactly what I’m paying for. Thank you again Ethan for everything! You now have a new client for life!”
“look no further!! this is the Mechanic we all hope for. Called Ethan on Friday and told me he was working on another job but Monday he could fit me. Monday, he sent me a message to confirm and within 30 minutes he was there ready to diagnose the issue. In no time he located the problem and told me what was wrong and If I wanted to proceed. He went to purchase the parts, had me check the job once completed and I was very satisfied and glad to have come across him (again). Funny thing is he worked on another boat of mine about 12 years ago and showed me the same professionalism this time around. I won't lose his # again.”
“Thankfully I found the most reliable, knowledgeable, and priced fairly marine expert. I have had my boat serviced at overpriced marinas only for them to give a less than par service. I had major issues getting power out to the motor after 3000rpm even after a Mariana did a service on the motor. Ethan took a look at it and knew what the issue was and resolved in less than a couple of hours. If you want the best look no further.”
“I found Ethan's business on google and called him Saturday at 8.30am. I told him my boat would not start, and in a few hours, my daughter was to have her birthday party on that boat. Ethan told me after brushing his teeth, he would head right over! Long story short, the birthday party was awesome! Ethan did a great job fixing our boat, and as important, he does what he says! Highly recommend!”
“EG marine has saved my boat (my livelihood) countless times with preventive maintenance, service and repairs. Ethan is a very gifted mechanic and electrician and can do anything. He has installed entire consoles, repaired my motors, installed electronics, serviced my motors and so much more. He is a genius when it comes to diagnosing the issue and fixing it. His assistant, Jordan, is very kind and knowledgeable as well. I recommend Ethan to all my charter customers and my friends and family. EG MARINE HAS NEVER LET ME DOWN. You’ve tried the rest, now call the BEST, EG MARINE.”
“If you need service on your outboards This is the only company to call! Reliable, honest and fair While other companies tend to cut corners or charge ridiculous amounts of money Ethan and his team Go above and beyond And have earned my business for years to come thank you again!”
“Fantastic quick service -- called late Monday afternoon, Ethan was here first thing the next morning. Fixed my problem in about an hour. Very friendly, honest, and fair pricing. Highly recommend!”
“I called EG Marine with a seriously bad situation on a newly purchased used center console, both bilge pumps and some wiring had failed. With Florida rain rolling in the bilge was rapidly filling up. I was down at my boat slip with a hand pump when I called Ethan and his team, he made time for my emergency has made thoroughly sure that my boat is now safe from the bilge onward. Safety is paramount for me as I frequently bring my family, friends and dogs on the boat and take that responsibility seriously. We all feel safer knowing that EG Marine inspected my boat and will fix any issue that comes up. In the last three or so months I have been working with EG Marine to restore and upgrade my boat, so far we have done a host of upgrades and fixes (100 hr service, rewiring motor wiring, replacing seals, fixing jackplates, rewiring teetop electronics, fixing livewells, replacing rocker switches, removing a toilet, fixing windless, fixing steering pump and so much more). Next up we're adding new speakers, electric reel outlets and upgraded rod holders! There is no comparison to the experience, quality of work and speed of troubleshooting issues of working with a team that has decades of experience. If you are considering hiring a mechanic or marine electrician for your boat, I suggest you call EG Marine!”
“Mr Ethan of EG Mobile Marine was the consummate professional s, up on time, did tremendously fantastic work and I cannot speak more highly of them. He showed up promptly on time, perform a skilful troubleshooting in less than 12 minutes, and found the problem and it immediately fixed it. I have a 32 foot cruiser yacht with dual 5.7 l V8 Volvo Penta outdrives, and he was very skilled around this setup. After that he adressed a bilge pump float issue I need to have replaced, did it in record time as well and I cannot recommend him more. he is now my go to mechanic forever! I strongly recommend him to anyone who's looking for professional RELIABLE mobile Marine service in South Florida.”
“Our port engine was overheating. After 2 mechanic visits and a couple of thousand of dollars later we found Ethan. He was able to diagnose the problem within 10' and solve the issue in one day. I would higly recommend EG Mobile Marine. 2 tumbs up!”
“These wonderful, professional, friendly men came to our rescue the same day to help us evaluate a prospective purchase of a boat! Look no further for any help you may need! Thanks Ethan and crew!!”
“After looking at every single boat mechanic in the Miami area I thankfully found EG. mobile Marine services. My boat was unusable due to a trim issue, and I needed it to go out with my father the following day. All boat mechanics were booked and wanted me to trailer the boat to their shops at a later date. Ethan was willing to come and see my boat that same evening after having worked all day. I can't be more thankful and pleased with his technical expertise and outstanding customer service. I recommend him to anyone looking to fix and service their boat. So honest that he didn't replace something that he had originally thought needed to be swaped in my trim system. I also had him perform my 100 hour on both my outboard Suzukis as well.”
“Ethan came on a Saturday. Only guy around on a Saturday, saved my trip to the keys and came over in less than an hour with all the spare parts. He was able to diagnose and fix the engine ASAP. Highly, highly recommend.”
“As an owner of 3 boats, and 40 years on the water in South Florida, I’ve come across a multitude of boat mechanics, from all walks of life. Never, and I mean never, have I found one as good, reliable, and honest as Ethan. He’s has a youthful approach to his service schedule, with the boat side manner of gentleman. I was amazed that he could tell what was wrong with the boat motor with just a short conversation on the phone. How many times have the guy on the other line said “I can’t tell unless I look at it” not this time. His prices were fair, and I genuinely think he wants lifelong customers, not just a one off type of relationship. I read through his other reviews, some good and some not so good. I trust it wasn’t EG mobile marines fault, and just a person looking to stir things up. I full recommend EG Marine and hope that all his customers have the same experience as I have.”
“My experience with EG Mobile Marine Services was absolutely phenomenal. I wasn't getting power to any of my electronics, interior or exterior running lights until Ethan came along and turned my problem into something of the past. I called Ethan at about 8pm , he answered my call with a can do attitude and showed up to the boat at 9pm ready to rectify the issue at hand! When he arrived at the boat, he asked me a few questions about the boat, glanced at the the wiring setup and immediately began working on the issue. About 15 minutes later, my problem was fixed and he had even wired some new LED lights I had planned to install but didn't have the electrical power to do so. When he completed the work, he gave me a detailed explanation of what my problem was, what he had done to solve the issue, and then gave me some wiring knowledge so that the problem does not happen again. His humble and enthusiastic demeanor was a pleasure to see and made it easy to understand what had happened. Ethan was extremely punctual, knowledgeable and professional in my experience with him and I would recommend his services to anyone that is looking for marine repair services. Thanks Ethan!”
“EG Mobile Marine is the epitome of professionalism, expertise, and customer service. I cannot recommend Ethan and his team highly enough. I had a number of things that needed to be done on my boat (install new pumps, service engine, etc) and from the very beginning Ethan put my mind at ease. He was on time when he met me at my marina and jumped right into it. Before I knew it he and Jordan had already finished one of the items on my list. Throughout the whole process, they ensured I was informed on what they were doing, and they went way above and beyond. They even made sure to test all the new pumps in the water before they left just to ensure complete satisfaction. If you need ANYTHING done on your boat, pick up the phone and start with EG Mobile. They will be very very honest and transparent with you and they DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY THE FIRST TIME!”
“I called Ethan in a pinch, He came out the next day had my issue resolved in less than an hour. Honest and fast. I texted him also on another issue and he was out of town and still took the time to help me resolve it myself. Highly recommend him for your boating needs.”
“Ethan is the best boat mechanic we've ever worked with. Every time we call him, he's extremely attentive and always helps us, no matter the issue. He knows Mercury engines inside and out and has resolved every problem we've had. We trust him completely—he's simply the best!”
“I have a 2009 Bay Bolt and as every boater knows they need maintenance and more maintenance. I contacted Ethan and made an appointment. He replaced my livewell pumps along with all the brass hardware. I asked him to go through the boat and advise if he saw any other concerns. He was honest with the evaluation and did not make up any fake issues just to charge, as is unfortunately common place now a days. Highly recommend Ethan, glad I found him.”
“I'm in the process of buying a boat, so I called Ethan from EG mobile Marine services to perform an overall test on a prospect buy, his work was very meticulous and professional which allow me to make a more informed decision on my purchase I'm very happy with Ethan and I'll continue working with him”
“Used Ethan two separate times and was impressed with his knowledge. He really took the time to look through the boat during a pre purchase inspection and saved me a lot of money. Don’t waste your time with anyone else.”
“Found Ethan of EG Marine vía Google. Ethan is a No Nonsense get to work problem solver of my boats electrical system. Ethan was able to resolve in no time with competitive upfront pricing. Ethan catered to my boats needs from Miami as I live in Hollywood I Will Certainly call Ethan of EG Marine again in the future as well as Recommend to the boating community. Unlike my previous marine mechanic, he’d charge you even if he stopped the work to even speak to you out of simple conversation. And add that time at the end of the work tab. Though that mechanic is a local and seemingly convenient, You’ll Pay MORE at the end. It’s a shame how mechanics nowadays take advantage and give the run around Instead of establishing good business ethics to grow their business. Again THANK YOU Ethan of EG Marine.”
“I'm a former USCG officer and cruise ship inspector with many year's of marine experience. I have seen my share of marine professionals, some good, some not so good! I think Ethan is very competent mechanic capable of most any vessel repair. He thinks the problem through and then executes with good humor! He expertly wired and installed my windlass in record time and then fixed my navigational system! I look forward to working with him again. A hard worker at a fair price...”

Ethan Gallo was next dock reparing another boat, but he came prompty and help me to make the electric motor to work again, at no cost. He seems to me he is young but serious and a very good mechanic.
