Big shout out to the staff at Barneys Marine. Holidaying in Maaroom for the week and the motor stopped pumping out the tell tail. Called up and they offered advice over the phone but I didn't have the gear. Took the boat to them and they fitted me in straight away. Fixed the problem in 5 minutes and the advice they gave me over the phone was spot on. Decided to get the impeller changed while I was there - work was great and the price even better. Many thanks for the fantastic quick service that allowed me to get back to my holiday.

Cant give enough praise to this local business. Very experienced and helpful staff. Maria in the office was great with the paperwork. Manager was extremely helpful with advice. A quick brief with the mechanic on any issues I have with my outboard and I was off. I have history with Barneys marine since 2001. Always a friendly and professional experience. Thank you guys. Great work.

Absolute joke. Booked a time to view and purchase a boat on Friday for Monday as their web site said they are not open on weekends. Drove 6 hours to Brisbane to pick a friend up and travel the rest of the 3.5 hours to get the boat to find out they sold the boat. I never received a call even tho I gave them name
, number and address when I booked the time. Now I'm sitting in my car 6 hours drive 2 days off work to get sorry mate a guy just bought it on the weekend we said we are not open".
Scamers don't use this company. Absolute joke. If the treat people like this buying a boat good luck when

I have always gone to Barney's Marine, as did my father, and have always had exceptional service and can not speak highly enough of the team there. A great local family business.
