Very best Yamaha mechanics in all of South Florida!

We had a very great experience with Parker Yacht Team. Ole is very knowledgeable and efficient. This is really not easy to find in South Florida boat industry. We had been thrown under the bus by other contractors many times before, so we really appreciate Ole and Mike helped us complete the boat engine replacement job. Not only the work was great, but also the way they manage the business is very impressive. Good to learn. During the whole process, communication with Augusta and other team members was smooth. We really appreciate all your work and help. Highly recommend the Team.

I have had an excellent experience working with Ole and Parker Yacht. One of the most interesting men you will ever meet, Ole is knowledgeable, professional, and refreshingly straightforward. He easily installed a new engine,  took the time to carefully evaluate the steering and alternator work on my Hunter Vision 36, and made practical recommendations based on the actual needs of my vessel. What impressed me most was his attention to detail and commitment to doing the work correctly rather than simply rushing through the job. Communication was clear, expectations were realistic, and I always felt that the safety and reliability of the boat were being taken seriously. Finding experienced, dependable marine professionals can be challenging, and Parker Yacht has demonstrated the kind of competence, honesty, and professionalism that inspires confidence. In the boating industry, this is a team you can count on and I would gladly recommend Ole and Parker Yacht to other boat owners looking for thoughtful, high-quality mechanical and marine systems work.

Friendly, personable service, good pricing, and lots of engines in stock.

Always very helpful and very responsive!! highly recommend

These ladies and gentlemen went above and beyond to help me out when I needed guidance in regards to information on a boat and motor I was buying. Knowledgeable staff and mechanics with exceptional knowledge when it comes to boat motors. Superb service.

Every aspect was handled very professionally and in a timely manner.

Parker is great they worked on 3 of our boats always too notch work! Only place I take out boats to ..

We use Parker for all our center console and Yamaha service and repairs. They are professional, courteous and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them

This Company has the most friendly and knowledgeable staff; they treat you like family and takes every precaution to ensure your merchandise is stored safely and properly loaded onto your Transport.

A very professional and personal service which I do not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

These guys always get me diagnosed and back on the water

We had the unfortunate experience of having a serious steering issue with our boat upon arriving in Spanish Wells, Bahamas. After contacting Ole Parker of Parker Yachts for help they put together a plan to fly over the next day to test & or replace the Optimus ECM unit. He flew in and we went right to the boat and he worked on it until it was completed. Extremely happy with their response and now we can get back to enjoying our vacation. Thank you so much Ole.

I want to sincerely thank Ole, Augusta, and the entire Parker Yacht team for their exceptional service. Not only did they provide top-notch technical and mechanical care for our vessel, but their customer service and communication throughout the entire process were outstanding. It’s rare to find a team as skilled, responsive, and professional as they are. Highly recommended for anyone who values quality and trust in their marine service provider. 5/5!

As a new boat owner, I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Parker Yacht. Augusta and Ole were incredibly helpful and made my first service smooth and stress-free. I'm looking forward to working with them for many years to come!

Ole is the best. He took time from his busy day to help me figure out an I was having with my Yamaha steering system.

Taylor saved the day! I have a charter boat in the virgin Islands. I went down yesterday. From start to finish of finding the part, staying in contact with me, to assisting with arranging transportation to getting the part to me ASAP, Taylor was amazing. She is saving my Easter week of charters. Thank you Taylor. Captain Ryan On the Sea Charters

Fantastic experience (again) at Parker Yacht! This is the second boat I have had repowered at Parker. There are certainly closer options than 3-1/2 hours away - but I trust Parker and their entire team to do the job correctly, professionally, on budget, and on time - the first time. This makes the additional drive time well worth it. Both boats I have repowered have been with new Yamaha motors, steering, rigging, etc. Parker went so far as to make sure the new motors integrated with the electronics seamlessly. The office staff were professional and took the time to walk me through the paperwork including warranty information. Their follow up to routine "in-progress" questions was spot on and their responsiveness unparalleled in the marine industry. This was the opposite of the typical "boat service" experience that we all are too familiar with (the one where people let timelines slip, are unresponsive, don't follow through on commitments, etc). Parker Yacht and the entire team are the example of much needed professionalism.

I bought a Yamaha motor at a very good price and the service was excellent

Augusta and team were great ! Outboard was in stock. First class customer service experience. Thank you !

Parker Yacht is a premier, first class company to do business with. Everyone there is first class. The facility is clean, the staff is friendly. The Owner and technicians know their stuff. The office staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable over the phone. You have an appointment at the ramp? They show up early. Clean trucks. Good trailers. I’ve been in the industry for over 20 years. They are top notch. More businesses in South Florida should rise to their level of service.

Parker Yacht is top notch service. They performed our transom rebuild flawlessly. Friendly people, great service and communication. Thank you.

Shout out to a 1st class organization. My steering system on my F300 developed a leak on my trip down to the Keys. Ole got right back to me to schedule service on the way down from Tennessee for Monday morning the 23rd of December to diagnose and provide a quick resolution to the issue. Met the staff, had a walk around of the operation meeting some great people who were really informative and responsive to my needs. Talked directly with Ole and he let me know what I needed to resolve the issue. The tech was there when the job was completed to discuss what was involved and did a great job. You need service on your boat give Ole a ring down there in Fort Lauderdale @ Parker Yacht.

We have been taking our two boats to Parker Yacht Management for service, repairs, and even a re-power on our flats boat. They do impeccable work and are very thorough. Calling & scheduling is easy & always a pleasure with Augusta and Taylor. Everyone is very knowledgable and the mechanics are top-notch. We are happy that we can count on Parker for all of our YAMAHA needs. Thank you!

I bought a 20HP Yamaha outboard from Parker Yacht. Their prices were the most competitive, offering a discount for an upcoming boat show. Their staff was professional, knowledgable, and helpful. I would do business with them again.

Just recently bought a Yamah VF200 Sho VMAX. Purchase and warranty process was super easy. Augusta was absolutely amazing. I would 100% recommend Parker for all your needs!

We highly recommend this place for your boating needs. Highly professional handled from start to finish could not be a happier customer !!

Super professional staff and they do great work

I had a repower in August with a Yamaha F70. The boat was old, and Parker Yacht replaced all steering with a new system and all new rigging including battery cables. I get complements on the quality of the rigging job and 3 months later the boat is a brand-new boat, reliable and fun. Ole is a true professional and thus relays it to his team.

The staff are great to deal with and polite. The team is also knowledgeable and professional and treat your boat with respect

I met some employees of Parker Yacht Services at a networking event. We stayed in touch and I was able to bring my boat and brand new Yamaha motor to this facility. Everyone was friendly and the service was fast and exceptional. The owner Ole came out when we were taking the boat home and gave us all the information on what was done and even more education on this new motor. I could not be happier with Parker Yacht Services.

Listen PYM Parker Yacht is the place to go to get fixed up with your boat engine. Hit your guy Ole up and he will get you straight?

Augusta was fabulous !! Great customer service and the patience of a Saint dealing with me 😂

I recently had my boat repowered with a Yamaha F115 at Parker Yacht Management. From the initial contact with Ole Parker via email, I was impressed. He always responded quickly, professionally and provided thorough answers. I was provided a detailed quote and there were no surprises. Upon bringing the boat in, I was immediately greeted by Augusta who was very welcoming and gave me a tour of their spotless shop. The drop off of my boat was stress free. I asked if they could change out my fuel sender and fuel gauge…I was not optimistic they could do it. The sender was in a very difficult location. However, to my surprise Parker’s talented technicians were able to swap the sender and replace the gauge. Overall, I am extremely please and can’t recommend Mr. Parker and his team at Parker Yacht with the work they did on my 33 year old Mako. Everything they installed looked nicer than if it came from the factory. I drove 90 miles to this shop and passed many Yamaha dealers along the way, however, I don’t think I could be more pleased with the service I received. If you are considering a Yamaha repower or any work on your boat (restoration, wiring, fiberglass work, electronics upgrade), give Parker Yacht a call, you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing people. From the welcome at the front desk to the expert help and work done by Ole. An equally impressive, clean and organized facility. I would highly recommend Parker Yacht to anyone.

From start to finish it all went smooth. Great communication. Ole and his team were great. Thank you.

Very happy with the work that Ole and is team completed on my boat, New engine installation + interior. Came back for service, will keep using them in the future.

Parker Yachts was a pleasure to work with. They were very accommodating and professional and made things happen.

Ole and his staff are amazing! They replaced the fuel tank and serviced the motors on my 25ft Hydrasport CC. Great communication and service throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a shop to service your boat, look no further. They are the best!

Great experience with Ole and the team servicing triple yamaha F350s on my Intrepid. Excellent knowledge of these engines and attention to detail which I appreciate. Dropoff and pick up on schedule, charges as estimated, boat as clean as I left it. Engines are running great. Thanks Ole!

They took my 17 foot skiff and re-powered it with a new 70 hp Yamaha and updated the vital systems. Extensively, they turned my 15-year-old flats boat into a like new boat. I couldn’t be more satisfied with their work and support. A first class operation.

Exceptional service and trouble shooting from a Yamaha Master mechanic. I highly recommend Parker Yachts.

Ole and his team are absolutely aweseome to work with. The guys are professional, punctule and take the time to explain the services they are performing. Great company that I would recommend without hesitation.

We woke up to dead batteries and could not get underway. We called PYM at 8:15am. They were at the boat by 9:30am with batteries. The guys were very professional and did good work. Trip saved!

Ole and his team at PYM are excellent. They just installed a solar charger setup on our 37' tender. Ole not only knew exactly what we needed and how to do it, his team was able to get it done on an extremely tight schedule. World class standards, excellent communication, and full understanding of tight schedules and logistics required to execute well.

I recently had my Scout 162 re-powered at Parker Yacht and I cannot say enough good things about Ole, Todd, Augusta and the entire team. They are absolute professionals and Ole runs a first class operation. It is so refreshing to see a company that really takes pride in customer service. This was my first experience with them and I will not take my boat any place but Parker Yacht from here on out. These folks are the best from start to finish!

Ole and his crew are top notch. We worked a deal on a set of Yamaha F200's and the install was done to perfection. Ole was full of knowledge and shared that with me to keep my new motors running at their full potential. Ole stayed true to his estimate and there were no surprises when it came time to settle up. After getting back home to NC his team has followed up several times to ensure the engines are performing properly. It was a pleasure doing business Parker Yacht.

Ole and his crew were extremely professional. Couldn't recommend them more highly. Would definitely use them again!

Just want to give a shout out to the team! Amazing persistence to solve the problem with our boat. You saved our weekend. We will recommend and use you again.

From the start Ole and his team were very responsive . Updates as the project went along as well as finishing up with in the time frame . Very clean shop. The repairs that were made were more than expected . It’s a brand new not ! High recommend .

Ole and his team are consumate professionals. There were multiple issues with my boat and Ole helped navigate what needed to be done and the best way to go about doing the work. He was not pushy, which is hard to find as well as on time! The hull buff they did on our boat came out fantastic, as we had not had it done in 2 years. Parker Yacht will definitely be our "go to" shop from now on.

I have been taking my Cobia to PYM since I purchased it. They have always been easy to deal with and reliable. With a trip coming up to the Keys my trim/tilt stopped working less than a week out and PYM had me in and out, fully repaired in 3 days. Just in time to head south with all working. Hard to beat them in SFL!

90hp Yamaha 2 stroke was firing on only one cylinder. I had exhausted my DIY diagnosis abilities. PYM had the thing diagnosed and fixed in 2 weeks for about the price of 2 rounds of in-season golf down here.

PYM performed 20 hour service on my Yamaha F115. Great service and great communication. Professional staff. They do what they say!

Ole and his staff are great folks. They are very friendly and responsive. Ole went above and beyond to diagnose and work on my boat and Yamaha motor. He was very communicative and explained everything that was going on to me. I would recommend this business to others.

Ole & Mike were very friendly and professional and communicated well with me in scheduling the initial PDI on my brand new Yamaha 425 XTO’s!! They answered all my extra questions during the visit and on the water and showed me helpful hints on how to run and treat my new motors and Helm Master EX system. Thank you both for a wonderful job and educational experience!!!! I highly recommend Parker Yacht services!!! Chris

My husband and I brought our boat to Parker Yacht to get it checked out before we purchased it. When we picked up the boat, Todd took the extra time to explain everything to us and answer all our questions. After just one experience here, we know we will be loyal customers based on the excellent service we received. It’s hard to find a place you can trust, and I highly recommend Parker Yacht.

OUTSTANDING People Very Friendly and Very Knowledgeable....l recomend to everyone

I have been using Parker Yacht for 10 years. Ole Parker runs a top operation. He first serviced my Suzuki on my 23 Albury. Then when i bought a new boat he actually organized the build, rigging, electronics, and new Yamaha 300's. He is the ONLY person/shop that i would ever trust with my boat. I run my boat hard and Ole's team continually exceeds my expectations.

INCREDIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM OLE! 10 STARS IF I COULD

Excellent customer service. Everyone was very helpfull and professional. I got an awesome deal on a brand new Yamaha outboard. I will definetly come back for next marine project.

Absolutely the most professional/thorough service I've ever experienced. I was in need of engine work and some minor touchups and was fed up with poor marine service in my area. I purchased a trailer just so I could drive it 3 hours to Parker Yacht and it was the best decision I've made. I could not be more pleased with the work AND the communication I received. Anyone who has owned a boat knows the difficulty in finding quality marine mechanics. Ole runs a top notch business. I highly recommend them.

I can say that Parker Yachts was great. They were very helpful and informative, and met/exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.

Parker Yacht gives you the straight answer. They gave me an estimate on a repower and delivered the project on time and on budget. A rare thing in South Florida. Easy to work with and great communication.
