TESTIMONIALS
M/Y TALISMAN MAITON
"I first met Rob the winter of 2014/15 in Barcelona and have taken advantage of his services every winter since to refresh the interior after the charter season. In particular for varnish repairs to dull, scratched and milky surfaces and for repairing marble cracks and polishing to a variety of marble types. It is refreshing to have a contractor who gets on and does what he says he will do without any fuss, always exceeds expectations and within budget. I am happy to make this reference for Rob and can assure any Captain using his services of absolute satisfaction with his work."

"We have employed Rob Newby on two different vessels over the last 10 years, mostly in carpentry and 'touch ups' of interior damage, and last year to repair and 'coat' our marble. Rob is a true craftsman and takes his tasks very seriously. He ensures he gets the job completed to our satisfaction and his own and goes out of his way to find effective solutions and to meet deadlines. Working with Rob is a pleasure as he is a good communicator and is of pleasant demeanor. "I am therefore happy to confirm that I highly recommend Rob Newby for any carpentry and / or marble works that need completing on a yacht of the highest standards."
