STAY AWAY from these guys!A simple job that takes a normal welding company a week or two ended up taking this guy 9 months. Every week another excuse! The result was complete trash and we now have to re-do the entire part. The welds were extremely sloppy and didnt fuse and he didnt properly weld the pipes together. Cracks everywhere before even powdercoating it. This part will fill with water and probably not even support minimum weight. The material is scrap and the 50% downpayment is out the window. Dont use these guys, you can find plenty of other fabricators out there.

Skip did an awesome custom job on my Gheenoe. His shop custom fabricated a riser for the throttle assembly as well as a custom bench attached to the existing poling platform. Great work, honest and great price! Thanks again!

Skip is prompt in his correspondence and execution of the job, professional in all aspects of our business together, priced the job very fairly in my favor and is extremely friendly and easy to work with, even for an atypical request like mine. I needed a high-end sport wheelchair adjusted and welded and despite that not being Skips primary business, he welcomed the job and made me feel confident during the extremely quick turnaround time of only 2 days. The wheelchair is welded perfectly and Skip even went above and beyond my request and matched paint to make sure it looked good too. South Florida can be a daunting place to seek reliable, competent help. Skip is a changing that perception one job at a time. Thanks so much!

Cant say enough good things about the way Skip works. He was flexible, creative, and listened to what I needed as he fabricated a custom outboard bracket for my boat. This ultimately cost 60% of what it would have elsewhere (and would not have been custom fit). Skip also supervised the installation which turned out to be vital. His workmanship and attention to detail are terrific. Id definitely work with him again.

What a great shop. I called this morning and spoke with the owner Skip regarding getting a rough edge of an aluminum spool polished. I had the day off and he told me he could take a look at my project if I swung by. The shop was easy to find and he dropped what he was working on to review my project. He walked me through his best solution and was able to polish the spool to its original, new condition while I waited. I was really impressed with not only his knowledge but also his great customer service. Thanks Skip - I appreciate all of your help.

I am another totally happy customer of Sandshark Marine Welding and Fabrication! Skip was recommended to me by a good friend, and I had a very difficult repair job that no other marine welding and fabricator wanted to fix. I could not believe when I first went to see Skip, on a high recommendation from a friend, how friendly, helpful, and positive Skip was with me, a female customer. Skip not only looked over my project very carefully, but was so understanding of the problems I had. In less than one week, I received a call from Skip telling me my project was completed. Unbelievable service and so fast. I went to pick up my project and again was totally expecting to pay a fortune for the repair that was completed so carefully and so quickly. What I was charged was peanuts for what Skip had to do to this difficult repair. I now have the BEST Marine Welding and Fabrication company, and owner, who I can use for my own projects and to whom I can recommend to so many others needing great work and friendly service. I highly recommend Sand Shark Marine Welding and Fabrication to anyone wanting friendly, professional service. Thank you, Skip~~~

Was hoping to find a smaller fabrication shop with some accommodating employees. Googled - marine metal fabrication near me.Sand Shark was at the top of the list with five stars. Decided to drop by and see if they could help.Skip turned out to be like a long lost friend. He asked if I needed it right away. I said, if possible. Skip quoted me a price - I agreed - He went right to work. I could not be happier with him or his work.When I was ready to leave skip asked if I wanted one of his business cards and I said, sure. Discovered he was the owner.Its nice to find an accommodating boss with time for his customers.

Had a great experience! I noticed the weld on my chain plate was cracked so I called Skip in the AM, and he fit me in later that afternoon. The part looks great, and he assures me it is stronger now than it ever has been. Got to play with his dog Trixie the whole time. Would highly recommend to anyone needing metalwork done.

I contacted the owner Skip a day ago regarding a trim tab plate that was made by a company that is no longer in business for my 27ft Mako as it was recessed on a piano hinge with a extreme tack weld and needed to duplicate it do the the boat running incorrectly in the water with 1 plate missing Skip answered my call told me to come down and show him what I have and was able to duplicate and provide me with a new plate for my boat after months of searching for one to replace it within 24hours without having to replace the entire system I highly recommend Skip as he is the best at what he does and very professional

Went on a recommendation. Quote was fast and aggressive. Project was completed ahead of schedule. Quality was outstanding. Sand Shark is now my go to fabricator and welder. I would assign 6 stars but Google only offers 5.

As a fellow fabricator with 25 years experience, I can say that Skip is, by far, the most talented old school craftsman I ever met. There is absolutely nothing he cant do and the end results are always spot on. Rock on Skip!

We were hours away from leaving to the Bahamas when a piece for our boarding ladder broke. These guys were great and had the part welded in just a few hours. Skip really came through for us. He was nice, his dog is cute, and the quality of work was top notch. Thank you!!

My experience with Skip at Sand Shark Marine Fabrication was nothing but awesome. I reached out via email and got a reply right away. I had a broken stainless steel part that needed to be welded... Skip had the part ready for me after only 3 hours of me dropping it off. Courteous, quick, and quality work hasnt been my usual experience in the Fort Lauderdale area. Thanks, Skip!

We have a dodge ram van and needed a step added to each door. Skip did an AMAZING job at adding them. He totally made his own step for us and welded it completely under the van. Impressed us!!!!!

Skip did a great job designing and fitting my custom folding swim platform. This job had some complicated compound angles that may have scared away less talented manufacturers, but Skip managed it like a pro. Thanks to Skip for adding value to my boat and for giving my family and me a great looking swim platform.
