I have been trying to reach Helms Boats inc. , Sarasota Boat Works / the maker of my 15ft skiff for months now. I have sent emails, called everyday, and left voicemails. I have received zero response and my last resort is to actually drive to the manufacturer five hours away. I have a 2012 siesta skiff that is completely falling apart. It has been garage kept, and properly maintained. The entire deck is soft and parts have literally fallen in. The wood used to build the boat is not marine grade wood and is literally sitting in clumps in the hull of the boat (decomposing). I have been trying to reach out to see what type of warranty these boats have but no response from anyone affiliated with the manufacturer.

I had my 2013 20 Siesta Skiff repaired by Brian and Richard, the customer attention and repairs were outstanding!!! A+++ This guys knows what they doing, they are 2 hours away from and i would do it again if i ever need my boat to be worked on. I will most definitely recommend them. Thank you guys.

Brian did a great job on the repairs to my boat. The boat is stronger and looks better then when it was brand new. I would highly recommend Sarasota Boat Works to everyone! Thank you Brian and Richard!

WARNING!!! Do not buy a boat from Sarasota Boat Works or a Helms boat, Viper, or Siesta Skiff. Deplorable craftsmanship, broken promises, and terrible customer service is our experience! Dont waste your money! Please pass this message along so nobody else gets screwed!!!

3 months to r&r a fuel tank, wish I never took my boat to these people, they ordered wrong tank, pinch fuel gauge wires, (I fixed myself) cracked deck, chipped in several spots within the first couple of uses was a new bait tank that I bought from them POS...
