We brought our boat here for extensive body repairs after hurricane damage. We were not disappointed with the choice. James did a great job coordinating and managing our repairs. In addition to the damage, we did a good bit of routine maintenance as well. Very happy with all the work. Yes, there are probably more economical options but we wanted quality work and felt we got that. We did winter storage as well. As has been noted by others, AYB does not have extensive marina facilities, but it is walking distance to several restaurants, shopping, and a decent grocery. All of the staff are cordial, helpful and knowledgeable.

Fairly new. Well maintained. Friendly helpful staff. Easy walking to "old town" area with shops and excellent restaurants. Especially enjoyed the Sycamore House for dinner. Buttercup for breakfast, 200 North Beach another dinner.

Arrived at Lake Charles headed east. Called lockmaster to check status of repairs. Working seven days a week, day light to dark. Estimates at least two more weeks. Only option for passing thru is during night hours along with heavily backed up barge traffic. Requiring a Plan B.
