Ive known John for many years - hes an experienced, skilled craftsman, a seasoned professional with an artists sensibility for aesthetics and style. His attention to detail and patience result in quality work - no matter the scope of the project - be it one gleaming, decorative boat hook or a full restoration.

My boat was looking really sad, life at sea beat her up. John Payne the owner took care of her. He refinished the exterior back to her glory.

I have had great service from Chesapeake Nautical.
