Quotes from our Clients
M/Y La Dolce Vita – 110’ Hargrave – Serviced in Turks & Caicos
It was during the Christmas holidays and we had a very important charter client to pick up in St. Marrten. In route unfortunately we had a prop strike and needed emergency service. Within 24 hours Gillen Diesel flew in an additional set of props and assisted in the installation. Thanks to Gillen Diesel, we were able to make our rendevouz with the client and resulting in a successful charter.

Cherin III – 66’ B&D Sportfish – Serviced in Aruba
In order to minimize the cost of bringing my vessel back to the yard after each fishing season in Venezuela, I schedule Gillen Diesel & Marine Service to perform all of my routine services for my vessel in Aruba. I started dealing with Gillen Diesel 17 years ago and have entrusted them to my various yachts. Having done the initial refit on this boat they understand its systems and are well positioned to provide efficient service. Even from Aruba they are always just a phone call away for advice or service.

Repose – 34’ Albin, Persistance – 36’ Hatteras, Durabo -48’ Jefferson, White Seal – 50’ Uniflight– MPT Service Fleet in Ft. Lauderdale
Our fleet is primarily used for the training of certified crew positions. As our training schedules are very tight and always full, unexpected downtime is not an option. Whether there are troubles with our AC, engines, generators, electronics or cosmetics (these boats take quite a beating!) We’ve always been able to count on an immediate response and keeping the vessel in service.
