    Cant say enough about Stokes Marine. All of their team members that worked on our dock and lift extension were extremely polite and considerate. Our account manger was Payson Nossaman. He is an awesome representative of Stokes. From the beginning to the end of our project, Payson delivered 100% customer satisfaction. In addition to Payson, I cant say enough about the customer service we received from Lainey Holt and Austin Peterson. But in the end, its about how Brent Stokes runs his company. I have been a customer of Stokes Marine for many years and will continue to do so. This is one of those rare companies that actually still believes in total customer satisfaction!

    Stokes Marine did an incredible job for me. They just finished my new 40,000 pound lift just in time for the winter season. My communications with Payson and their staff was flawless. They handled all of the permitting process and design and kept the project moving. Their drawings and plans were excellent. Working with their foreman Tim was great along with their entire crew. The dock and lift look amazing. I highly recommend them for any type of dock or lift work.

    From the first time I contacted them through the entire process , Eric and all the people at Stokes Marine were very professional, always on time and did an amazing job installing all 3 lifts and kyak rack! Would highly recommend them!

    When it came time to select the supplier for our dock on our new home we only looked at Stokes Marine. We have been dealing with Stokes since we moved down to Cape Coral in 2008. In the summer of 2022 Stokes designed and built our 300 foot long dock, complete with 3 boat lifts. Stokes supplied us with a 1st class dock which we love. Our dock is a serious piece of construction. Our Stokes Construction Manager, Travis Scott, did a great job, as did all the guys he had out here working on the project. The dock was completed a month prior to Hurricane Ian, which hit September 28, 2022. Our dock survived through Hurricane Ian with not even a board coming loose or a screw coming loose. Great job Stokes.

    We are so happy with the incredible job that Stokes Marine did in installing our canopy today. From start to finish they demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to their work. The finished project is a testament to their skill and attention to detail. A truly fantastic crew! #StokesMarine

    Stokes Marie is probably the best company I have ever worked with and thats the truth. I have nothing but high praises for them! From the crew on the barge that sunk the pilings, the carpenters that built the dock, the service side that installed the lift and canopy, and last but not least the salesperson Payson. Payson was on point every step of the way. His communication was constant and so appreciative. He is 5 stars in this company! THANKS Stokes for making our dream a reality!

    Brent,From one business owner to another….Great Job!I wanted to pass along to you some information that in my business is always appreciated.Your team has done an outstanding job from start to finish on my project. Phil has held my hand (figuratively) throughout the process as I am new to the Cape area and new to having Champion Ship in Florida for her permanent home.From start to finish I have been kept informed of the project along the way. I am not permanently in Florida so I was not there during any of the construction although I felt like I was. From calls and texts to drone footage, I felt informed etc. Phil was also proactive in suggesting things I would have never thought of.Phil also has provided me with a wealth of referrals to help me maintain her.

    My friend had Stokes install a lift at his house recently. He was extremely happy with them. Last week was my turn to have my lift installed. No brainer calling Stokes to do the job. Rudy got the ball rolling. The installation team was spot on and John finished the job with inspection and closing out the permit. The entire team was so easy to work with. So glad I went with Stokes. Thank you all. Great job.

    Called into Stokes Marine in the weeks after Hurrican IAN.My existing lift needed repairs from the storm. Stokes originally installed the dock a couple of years ago and I had ZERO damage or issues with the dock. The boat lift was older and needed some minor repairs to make it operational again, they were very courteous, professional and performed a top notch install. I recommend them to all my neighbors for any boat lift or dock project Big or small.

    Absolute class act of a company. Did everything they said they were going to do, when they said they were going to do it, and the craftsmanship is top notch.Tony Wallis was a pleasure to work with on the sales and design side. Megan kept us informed as far as scheduling and was always accurate with her timeframes. Travis was fantastic as our job foreman. I have zero complaints and will use Stokes Marine every time I have a need in the future, no hesitation.

    Great company!Rudy (in charge of service) is one of the most professional and knowledgeable men I have known in my over 40 years in business. Stokes gives value with guys in the field like Kyle, Chase (and many others). Stokes Marine makes sure any problems are taken care of in a timely fashion.

  • Review 12 (2024-10-07 - Rating: 5)

    Our dock was destroyed in hurricane Ian. It didnt get rebuilt until spring this year. We hired Stokes working with Travis, who helped us with building the dock to our specifications, including a foot higher than code, all pilings at least ten inches in diameter, and all pilings down as far as legally possible. After hurricane Helene, both neighbors docks were hit and damaged to the extreme. It is a testament to the Stokes quality workmanship that our dock stands strong. A few crossbeams were damaged by Helene, and with a single phone call on Sunday morning, when I thought I was leaving a voicemail for the next workday, travis called me back on the weekend, and this morning, Monday, while we are in the path of hurricane milton, Travis was able to schedule men to go into the water to fix the crossbeams for a better chance of surviving miltons impact when it hits our riverfront home later this week. Five stars for the dock work and also for follow up service.

    I would just like to tell you guys Thank you, Thank you!! Your final response to my crisis was swift and directly reversed my mood for the day. I understand that you are slammed with service work after the hurricanes and I really appreciate you taking care of my trivial problems.The young gentlemen that you sent to the house were outstanding, friendly and very knowledgeable. They confirmed the issue and immediately replaced the seized motor so my lift could be operational.I will forever remember your exceptional customer service displayed today.

    Stokes Marine was outstanding to work with from the very beginning with Austin Peterson designing and bidding our project to the many changes we made with the help and patience of Matt Felton in customizing our dock and 3 lifts to meet our needs. Everyone that came to our property was courteous and professional. They have all been terrific to work with and we now look forward to many years of enjoying our waterfront property! Exceptional Job! Thanks to you all for making our dream come true.

    Stokes Marine was highly recommended and they delivered. Any changes to the plan or onsite conditions were handled professionally and communication was excellent. Our questions were answered and our concerns were addressed in a timely manner. We are very satisfied with our new dock and lift system will recommend stokes marine to any one in need of Marine Services.

    What a great experience with a marine contractor from start to finish. John (our contact) came to job-site within 2 days of contacting him to get a dock proposal to us. Proposal was fair and detailed. Time frame from start to finish was fast. Carpentry craftsmanship and materials were really good for a marine contractor. A lot of time was spent on small finer points that a homeowner appreciates. John kept us up to date through the whole process.Thank You Stokes Marine......

  • Review 17 (2022-02-03 - Rating: 5)

    Stokes Marines team of professionals did a wonderful job creating our dock, lift and inland deck. Their sales person (shout out to Phil), did a great job helping us envisioning what our dock could be. Due to being a corner lot, we did not have much space to fit our dock; however, Stokes engineers and architects did an amazing job working with the Lee County permit office to ensure that we could maximize space and create a beautiful, practical addition to our home. Their construction team was courteous and professional. I even got compliments from my neighbors on the work they were doing. Due to their hard work, our boat is protected from the elements and easily accessible. Just like pulling the car out of the garage. Our final step is for them to add the canopy (on the way). I would definitely recommend Stokes Marine to anyone that needs their water frontage enhanced.

    Kevin and Jacob from Stokes Marine removed an old lift and installed a new lift within two days. I observed great teamwork from this duo. They were very respectful, courteous, and hard working. If you want great work with a great team that is very knowledgeable, this Stokes’ team is for you.

    The guys from Stokes came out and were very courteous, on time and did a great job on our dock and bridge. Everything was fairly priced and done with great quality. No question I would recommend them to anyone looking for marine docking or bridge work, and have more projects that we will get them to help with coming up soon.

    Other dock companies said we could not get the dock we wanted at our home in Sanibel but Phil LeBoutillier and the team at Stokes advocated on our behalf with the planners and got us a beautiful new dock. The build quality and follow through with all the permits and final inspections was beyond thorough. Residents of the Fort Myers area are fortunate to have access to such a quality company like Stokes. THANK YOU!

  • Review 22 (2017-11-07 - Rating: 5)

    Late last year we began thinking about having a deck / dock installed. I talked with Matt Felton in Stokes Marines sales department. You couldnt ask for a better, more responsive, person than Matt. From the time we first gave thought to such a project until we made our final layout decision we made many changes and had many different thoughts along the way. Never once, not even for a second, did Matt make us feel like we were a nuisance. (which we probably were) He wanted us to have what we wanted in the end. Within 2 weeks of us giving the go ahead they sent their crew out to start the project. I thought this would take weeks. At 3:00 PM on Wednesday afternoon the barge pulled up. Within about 20 minutes the first piling was driven. I was surprised to see them start that late in the day. Thursday morning Patrick, the crew leader showed up and introduced himself. He said; We are going to build you a beautiful deck. And, that they did! Among others that were in and out, Patrick, Dillon and Nick had the deck 98% completed Friday afternoon and had it totally completed (less the Tiki Hut roof which was done by another company) by mid-Saturday. Everything is perfect. They cut no corners. If you, too, want a beautiful deck call Matt and he will walk you through the procedure to see that that happens. This is a world class company and everyone of the guys couldnt have been better. Im pretty picky and these guys were the best! A++11-5-2017 UPDATE......Matt Felton has moved from sales to the service department. We liked our deck / dock so well that my son, John Siekmann, actually got a job in sales with Stokes!!! So, since Matt is now in service, if you need a dock, call John Siekmann, you wont regret it!!!

  • Review 23 (2023-11-29 - Rating: 5)

    We purchased a home in Cape Coral a week before hurricane Ian hit. Nightmare ..enough said. Since then understandably all contractors have had a mountain of backlogged work and boat docks were no exception. I have to say of all the contractors we dealt with Stokes was superlative. Our initial contact with our salesman helped us design a dock with a very tight corner lot into a gorgeous 14k lift. They were honest about the time frame and didn’t lie just to get a sale. They were the ONLY contractor working on our home to continuously communicate as the job proceeded. Not only did the sales person communicate throughout the job, the crews who worked on the dock communicated throughout the job. We didn’t have to call them..they called us with updates. This is how business is supposed to be conducted. It’s obvious Stokes is a well oiled machine. Honestly we can not say enough about the business and their employees from start to finish. If only all businesses ran this efficiently and had such fantastic work ethics. I will never hesitate to recommend Stokes Marine! Thank you for building a beautiful dock that is going to greatly enhance our homes value!

    Phil is a knowledgeable and professional representative for Stokes. While we were on a family vacation, the Stokes crew completely replaced our old dock, sending us progress reports as work progressed. We are delighted with the results!Stokes is a first class outfit, and the professional manner with which they conduct their business makes dealing with them a pleasure.

  • Review 25 (2024-02-29 - Rating: 5)

    Our pier was destroyed by Hurricane Ian, and it was a real loss to our community. We contracted with Stokes, and could not be happier with the process and outcome. Phil managed our project, Patrick was the construction manager, and John helped us navigate the Sanibel permit process. All three were a pleasure to work with - clearly professionals in their area of expertise, all easy to communicate with while tracking the project. They did what they said that were going to do, and they did it when they said they were going to do it. And importantly, on estimate. We were extremely satisfied with the Stokes experience and love our new pier.

  • Review 26 (2024-01-29 - Rating: 5)

    I have been working with Stokes for 10 years. They installed my lift, maintained it, and repaired my dock after Hurricane Ian. Recently a worker on the boat experienced a lift motor failure. Unforunately he tried to level the lift, but it went the wrong way and the boat spilled off the bunk into the pilings on the finger pier. I called Stokes and they had Ty there in less than 2 hours. (Were on Sanibel, so that is a challenge!) They fixed everything and prevented any potential damage to the boat. Great service!

  • Review 27 (2024-06-19 - Rating: 5)

    Kevin and Brian were terrific . They worked together like a fine tuned piano . I have to say they were great . The Stokes office kept me informed as when they were coming and how long it would take . When it’s time to get a boat lift I won’t be calling anyone else .

  • Review 28 (2023-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    I knew when I hired Stokes Marine to rebuild my dock after Ian, I was hiring the best. The crew was hardworking, courteous and professional and finished the project in record time. I would highly recommend Stokes.

  • Review 29 (2020-04-17 - Rating: 5)

    Been happily using Stokes Marine for about 6 years now for all my dock work. Recently called them for service and installation of a few items and had another awesome experience. Chris, the tech on the 3 visits to my home, was one you need to ask for when calling for work. Hes customer friendly, takes initiative on projects and customizes work nicely, is professional and cost conscious, and a good guy! If Stokes is listening, I suggest a nice Xmas bonus for him, and I wholeheartedly recommend using Stokes for any and all dock work, way ahead of all the competitors. You wont be disappointed.

  • Review 30 (2023-12-16 - Rating: 5)

    Last weekend our lift wouldn’t work. I did an online service request on Sunday. I received a call Monday late morning and to my surprise they got us on the schedule for Tuesday. On Tuesday the service tech called an hour before arrival and was able to repair the lift as needed. Stokes has installed a couple of lifts for us over the years and they continue to exceed our expectations!!!Thank You for the great service!!

  • Review 31 (2020-07-23 - Rating: 5)

    Beyond satisfied. I purchased a new boat and needed my bunkers readjusted on the lift and maintenance done. Fran from Dock-Doctor recommended I reach out to Matt at Stokes Marine. I contacted and dealt with Service Manager Matt. He was very knowledgeable and provided excellent customer service. He was always responsive and recommended only what I needed. Chris came out to my house on time or earlier. He always kept me informed what was going on and also very knowledgeable. He did an excellent job with the bunkers and the maintenance on the lift. I highly recommend Stokes Marine and their Friendly staff. Thanks again.

    I contracted with Stokes Marine to build my dock, rail and lift. Since my last review Ive had other installs such as a transom tray and side plank so now there is full access to my boat for service.In addition I signed up for their service contract so I am worry free, I know they are on top of their game.The crew is unbelievably professional and accurate they make Stokes Marine what it is today. I cant rave enough about Stokes Marine they are a fantastic group.If my next home I purchase does not have a dock Stokes Marine will be the company I contact first.I highly recommend this company!

  • Review 33 (2021-05-25 - Rating: 5)

    Just had Stokes Marine redo my dock. It was a complete tear down and rebuild, only the pilings were the same. Their entire team was very professional and communication was excellent. They came to do the estimate on time and listened to all my requests. Then stokes had a very detailed cad drawing of the project. Then they actually started the project earlier than promised and finished on time. I would highly recommend Stokes Marine for dock repair, replacement or new build. Very satisfied customer.

  • Review 34 (2020-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    Stokes recently completed our dock on the NW spreader and my wife and I have been extremely satisfied with their work. We would choose them again, without hesitation.Stokes built us the dock WE wanted, while other companys proposals were often trying to talk us out of things. In the planning stages their we can do that! attitude, the way Nick returned phone calls quickly, his enthusiastic professionalism set them apart from other builders. We were happy with the type/specifications of the lift they included in the bid plus the canopy and tiki sub-contractors they chose. They were not the lowest bidders but we felt assured that they would deliver quality work. And they 100% did.This positive attitude followed through into the construction phase where the crews showed up as scheduled and, once they started, worked non-stop from 8am to dark, and even weekends sometimes, hardly stopping to eat. They worked like an efficient, well-managed team. Credit to the team lead Rod for his positive can-do attitude, work ethic and attention to detail which you could clearly tell inspired his crew to live up to his standards.We really cant say enough good things about Stokes. We absolutely LOVE our dock. I mean how often do you get to design and build a dock! Enjoy it!! You can trust Stokes to make it a good experience.

    Where do I start? I am hard to impress and I am stunned with how great my experience was with Payson Nossaman and the whole team at Stokes. I spent two boatloads of money on a shiny new dock and lifts etc etc and Payson was so professional and attentive and thorough. Rudy was great also and Cole and his crew. But Payson....promote that guy and overpay him so you dont lose him. Stokes has a great future if its with him.

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone !Update...because of my experience with Stokes Marine above,I called them again this week to clean and rewrap the 32 pilings on my dock. Another great experience. Matt was very professional, in 3 days had a team here to do the job. The guys did a great job - very courteous and thorough. Thanks, Stokes !

Communication was excellent.The project was completed on time, at a fair price, and Im thrilled with the results.Outstanding company and outstanding product. They come highly recommended by me!Although I will say this... the dock was built and completed in time for Christmas. Would have been nice if Tony put a boat in the lift as a Christmas gift. Cant have everything I guess. :-)

    When I bought my retirement home in Cape Coral, my first priority was to buy a boat, have a dock built, and install an lift. I selected Stokes Marine as my Marine Contractor. Other companies talked about what they would do but Stokes came with computer generated plans and experience... they gave me a strong sense of confidence. The dock was built while I was in New York, and the project was professionally managed. Guess what... I flipped houses and Stokes did the same professional job again. Great company and great people working for them. I highly recommend Stokes as your Marine Contractor.

    Stokes Marine is a very professional company. I was impressed with the facilities and photos of all the docks they have built. They took the time to go over all the small details of our dock design. They also carry the finest boat lifts made by Golden Lifts. We are excited to get our new dock built.

    It was a fantastic experience dealing with Stokes Marine! Their follow-up, friendliness, timeliness, professionalism, and workmanship were excellent. Phil was our initial contact and stayed with us through the entire process. He made numerous trips to the house to make sure that our new boat lifts were perfect in every respect. The design staff, installers (and the remainder of the field staff) were great!! As the project progressed, we were made aware of what was going to happen each day with a telephone call or personal visit. We have had to babysit several contractors over the years here in Florida, but not Stokes Marine. Everything was as promised!!!

Thank you all, again very pleased!

    In A world where ok is good enough this company stands out from the rest. I had an 80 dock boat house and lift installed. Because I saw the work they did across the canal, now the neighbor next to me is having it all done as well. There material is crazy good giant poles, massive runners, framing. and no lack os stainless steal. every thing on the dock is stainless. everything..They are not the cheapest of the 5 quotes i took but they are the best. I am so happy with the way Stokes did the work. The quality of everything. and the communication. This is a busy company you have to book months in advance but there worth it. I recommend this company to everyone who wants a really good dock or boat house. The lift is crazy good so well done... I am a very picky guy but these guys are great.

    Stokes built our dock in 2020. They were top notch from the beginning. Very happy with the end product and their process. They actually got the dock done almost a month earlier than they had previously quoted! Their entire team has been VERY responsive. EJ from their service team came out twice to fit our boat to the lift, install some cleats and fix our lift after we had a user error right off the bat. Doeee! EJ is awesome! He was very professional and caring and did a great job. Im so glad to know Stokes has professionals on their service team like EJ! We had gotten three estimates for our dock and while Stokes wasnt the cheapest (they were the middle bid) - were very happy that we chose them!

    Tony Wallis and Stokes Marine did a superb job building our dock at our rather challenging location on North Captiva and under the difficult conditions of red tide, heat , and high humidity this past summer and fall. Tony had come highly recommended but of course we got other bids before starting and my brother who is a contractor, lifelong boater, and dock owner reviewed the bids and confirmed that Stokes was the clear choice after evaluating design, materials, and cost. Tony and Stokes went way above and beyond to solve every challenge that weather and schedule presented and completed the job on a dock that is perfect in our family’s opinion. He clearly has good working relationships with all the other relevant parties in the process of mapping, design, and permitting as well as keeping me and my family updated at every key stage. We recommend Tony and Stokes Marine with the highest confidence.

    Stokes Marine is an outstanding contractor. I used Stokes Marine to completely replace and upgrade my existing lift in Naples, FL. In my case, I had some tight timelines I was working with. Stokes Marine committed to those timelines and delivered on every single element of my schedule, even when it required some overtime from their electrical sub. Their workmanship was great, and the installers, to a man, were a pleasure to deal with. Matt Felton is a man of his word and he came up with an excellent access solution for my new lift that was vastly superior to what I had. And by the way, when you add some scope or change something, they take care of it quickly and more than fairly.I own a construction contracting business myself. We have been very successful over the years because we put customer service above all else. I’m picky about contractors. Stokes earned all five stars and if this review page would let me award a sixth star, I would. Highest recommendation.

    I just purchased a boat and needed to make sure my lift and dock were ready to accept it. Stokes Marine did a fantastic job of coming over and giving me an honest assessment of the condition of my lift. Another company in town did not, they wanted to charge me for new cables I didn’t need! Payson (I hope I’m spelling that close to correct) assessed my lift and replaced only the items that needed replacing. They were there to make sure the bunks and lift were set correctly when I brought the boat home and took the time to answer any and all questions I had. I will definitely be calling this company again when I need service for my lift/dock!

    Matt Felton and all the folks at Stokes Marine are a class act.I have used them several times to help with issues on my dock, and can say that they are always available, on time, and fix the problem. When i have called them back for an issue they have worked on, they have not charged me as they feel it was their responsibility to make it right.The service guys have gone above and beyond to ensure the work is completed on time and done properly. When their issue is outside their scope of work, they have said so, rather than doing something they are not excellent at.I am impressed with this level of service in this industry... i would recommend them without reservation.

    Just completed the installation of a hoist for an Insetta 35 IFC, an catamaran with an internal foil. This install required the fabrication of a special bunk for the foil, which was perfectly designed by Stokes. From initial contact with Tony Wallis was excellent, as he provided timely updates and professional drawing of the layout and hoist setup. The barge team of Jeff Crocker, Tim Emerson, and Joe Koshko was executed just as the drawings stated, the crew was friendly and hard working. The Service Team made up of Ej Roberts and Ken Kramer was outstanding. Ej used drawing specs to layout the hoist, which was perfect, and Ken jumped in the water to make sure the initial docking of my boat worked perfectly. Great teamwork by Stockes.

    I research every major purchase and for my dock/lift, it came down to Honc, Williamson Bros, Hickcox Bros and Stokes (May 2018).The decision to go with Stokes was easy. The sales experience was phenomenal; Phil was highly available, responsive, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in building the best dock for the money. Not to bash their competitors, but I felt like they were just punching a ticket; I could barely keep their attention when they were onsite for the estimate.Sure, there were some delays, but given the post-Irma demand, I get it. The quality of the dock work is very good and the Golden 4-motor lift works great.As for post-installation support, I reached out to Phil today and I can’t speak more highly of the Stokes team. Phil and Brian responded to my call within minutes and resolved the issue.

    Team Stokes Marine did a fantastic job building our dock, which included sea wall repair and rock-punching many of the pilings. Everyone was very professional and courteous from start to finish. I highly recommend Stokes Marine, Inc. for any dock, lift, &/or canopy needs. Great job guys! Thank you!

  • Review 57 (2018-09-17 - Rating: 5)

    Stokes was recommended by a friend also building in Cape Coral. They couldnt be more accommodating from design of our dock to completion of the canopy over our boat. Everytime work was being done, they were in contact with us and sending pictures. I remember the names Tony, Travis and Brian specifically, but Im sure there were other contributors to make our dock/home a very special place.

  • Review 58 (2020-01-29 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve really got to take my hat off to these folks! I had a rather large and complex project to be done and these guys did an awesome job. I needed to switch out my 13,000 pound lift and replace it with a 16,000 pound lift. I also needed my dock widened, the primary pylons replaced, and some repairs done on the existing dock. I also needed my lift cover / canopy reconfigured to allow for a much taller boat.The Stokes management and crews did everything professionally and quickly. They scheduled me around several other issues I was having getting my boat ready for the water. I was super impressed with their entire team!One day while they were out working a small dog had fallen into the canal. Without regard to his safety one of their crew jumped in, swam across the canal and pulled the pup to safety. During this event the crew member became fatigued and started to get into trouble himself. So another crew member was preparing to jump in and save him, but the distressed swimmer managed to swim back to the other side where he was pulled out and driven back around to my side again. Such a heroic and brave act by a guy who just saw a puppy drowning and decided to save it! Great job guys!!!I could not recommend a more professional and knowledgeable organization. Their pricing was fair and reasonable. Their crew was able and had all the tools to do the job correctly and quickly. And their managers were a pleasure to work with. Thank you for a job well done!!Dr. Stephen Kovacs

    Stokes Marine just completed the installation of my 3,272 sq. ft. dock in NW Cape Coral. The dock spans 240 ft. of seawall and consists of a 40 x 44 dock with two boat lift platforms and a 19 X 48 observation platform. Both are connected with a 5 wide walkway. This was a very large job with approximately 70 pilings, marine grade 2” x 8” SFS .60 CCA upgraded substructure lumber (not rough cut) and 2 WearDeck decking. Every bolt, nut, washer, and screw were high quality stainless steel.Every person that I worked with at Stokes from the initial design thru pile driving, framing and decking was very professional, enjoyable to work with and did an excellent job. Thanks to Phil, Pat, Jeff, Tim, Alex and many others that are not named for doing an outstanding job!Stokes was prepared when they encountered a large rock shelf and was able to punch thru the rock and set the piles at the appropriate depth (Im on the NW Spreader in Cape Coral - rock is very common here).Ask the right questions when you interview other companies: How long have you been in business. How experienced is your crew? What happens if you hit rock? What kind of lumber are you using? What is the spacing of the support lumber? What type of hardware are you using (stainless or galvanized)? Docks are expensive to build but will last a very long time if properly constructed; it doesn’t pay to cut corners.In addition to all the great things I mentioned above, Stokes is the only dock builder in our area who is authorized to install Golden Lifts. Golden is a global company based in Fort Myers that builds the strongest and best lifts, motors and drives that will operate trouble free for many years. I highly recommend Stokes and Golden; they are both outstanding companies to work with.

    I am new to having a boat lift and new to having a boat on the salt water. I didnt select Stokes as the contractor, the marina company did. Today I had my instruction on how to use the boat lift. Payson (sp?) was assigned to walk me through it and trouble shoot an issue I was having. He was extremely professional and took the time to go through the equipment. He gave me very handy tips about boarding the boat with guests for safety. Extremely impressed.

  • Review 65 (2019-08-21 - Rating: 5)

    From Day 1 when my husband, Tim walked thru their door it has been an amazing experience. Phil LeBoutillier greeted him and helped us create our vision. The communication thru the engineering process all the way to final nail was top notch. Tim, Zack and another man arrived via barge to remove our old pier, pilings and place new pilings. Outstanding professionalism and quickness!!! The framing crew of Luke, Harry and Joey felt like family given we had a large project to complete so they were with us for a length of time showing up promptly each day, working diligently and cleaning up end of day. The end results were even more spectacular than what we had created on paper. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Stokes Marine for any type of dock projects!!! We ended up with a new pier, captains walk around the boat lift, kayak and jet ski dock area. Tim and Teresa Carson ~ Fort Myers Beach, FL

  • Review 66 (2019-10-16 - Rating: 5)

    Today, Stokes Marine stepped up BIG time to compensate me for my lost time and an oversight of communication. After speaking to Brent Stokes, he remedied the situation immediately. While I was initially angered by what happened, when you step up to make things right and own your teams mistake, you not only earned my respect, but you are freed from any resentment or grudge. I am an honest and understanding individual and realize that mistakes are made. When you come to the table with the level of response without any hesitation or inquiry, you are a legitimate business worthy of your nameThank you very much.

  • Review 67 (2019-07-09 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent service! My dock looks fantastic; communication was exceptional (they did exactly what they said they would do) Design and install was all done remotely and via the phone/ email - sales, service, and even the 3rd party recommended electrician were all excellent. Highly recommend!

  • Review 68 (2024-07-21 - Rating: 5)

    Choose Stokes Marine Inc if you want everything done right...everything to look perfect...and you want your neighbors to come over and say wow! Our original dock was severely damaged by the hurricane and Stokes explained how and why that happened. We are sitting on a layer of shale and the new pilings need to break though the rock to provide the necessary stability for the new design. They sent out a team and everyone made sure we were involved every step of the way. A shout out and thank you to the teamwork of Conner, Layne, Mike, Jacob and Bobby for their expertise. We are very appreciative and satisfied with the cooperative effort completing this project quickly and most cost effectively.

  • Review 69 (2020-08-04 - Rating: 5)

    When I started getting quotes for my new dock project (800+ square feet of decking, two boat lifts, and a kayak step), I called three area experts, Including Stokes. After all three came to my house for the walkthrough, I told my wife - I hope Stokes is the cheapest, because their salesman (Nick) was the most knowledgeable, easiest to have a discussion with, and most responsive.After several iterations of design changes, Stokes definitely continued on the top of the list. In the end, there were not the cheapest, but their customer service convinced me they were who I wanted.I believe I made the right choice, and a few extra bucks were worth the amazing job they did for me. And they finished the job early, saving me a months boat slip rental at the marina, which nearly made up for the higher quoted price anyway!The quality of workmanship was inspiring. Their workers showed up when they said they would. Every day they cleaned up the work site. In the end there were a few minor issues/changes to be made, as with any project. But they responded within minutes to my requests, and had the issues corrected in a few days at the most (if they needed to order a part).Here are a few before/during/after pictures all shot from the same location on the seawall.Great job, Team Stokes! Ill call you in 50 years when this dock needs to be rebuilt!

    I’ve been renovating an old home here in the Cape for 2 years. Dealt with a dozen or so different contractors for various trades. There seemed to be so few with integrity and commitment to their promises. Stokes is a real company with real professionals. From their sales person Miguel, to my project manager Travis, these guys were honest, hard working, and most importantly, communicated with me almost every day without me having to call them over a three week period. Wait til you see these guys cranking all day in the hot FL sun, and you’ll be glad you chose them. Finally, the carpentry was excellent, and the cuts and fasteners were perfect. Makes me happy!

    Stokes Marine is the best in class full service marine company in SWFL because they consistently deliver a professional grade result with a unique personal service advantage/benefit after the sale.Stokes Marine has the people, the product, and the process perfected which makes their work head and shoulders above the lesser options offered by the competition. The difference is readily discernable to even an untrained eye--quality design, high grade equipment/materials, and a trained/experienced/supervised skilled labor force which avoids any surprises, problems, or hassles during completion of the project. Stokes Marine brand/label on the dock/lift results in a high value addition to any property they work for.Based on my experience (i.e both times now) no real reason to check out the rest--Stokes Marine is the best before , during, and after the sale. Very satisfied and loyal repeat customer too!!

    I have had the pleasure of having stokes marine plan and install my dock in St James City and I have nothing to say but great things. The dock went up according to plan, on budget and the install was perfect. Travis Scott was heavily involved initially and when my stairs were gone after Ian he was there to take care of it. Additionally when the dock was damaged during construction Travis again was right there. I cannot say enough good things but would definitely go to them again should the need arise.Thank You Stokes Marine.

    Contacted Stokes Marine to do a lift service and dock inspection. Ty and Jesse showed up promptly as scheduled (within 48 hours of my initial call). They were friendly, thorough and professional. All of the work was completed timely and with great attention to detail. They worked very cleanly and we felt in good hands the entire time. Any questions were answered competently and they were very good in explaining their processes. Their prices are fair for the level and quality of work performed. They were also able to refer other businesses to us for additional lift work needed. Rudy, the service manager followed up to make sure we were happy. He also sent pictures of the completed work, which I thought was a very diligent touch. This company clearly takes customer service and communication very seriously, which was a fantastic experience for us. Stokes Marine is our new go to expert in all things related to our boat lift and dock. Thank you for a job very well done!

  • Review 89 (2022-12-06 - Rating: 5)

    True professionals! Masters at their craft! It is such a relief to find a company in today’s day and age that really take their profession and clients seriously. I moved to Florida six months ago and these guys have already gone above and beyond for me many times. When I purchased a boat and needed bunks installed on a boat lift, everyone else in town gave me a quote for 6 to 8 weeks time. When I contacted Stokes Marine, they said “Yes we can do the installation for you tomorrow!” That’s on top of a great price! Sure enough they showed up the next day on time and completed the installation.Hurricane Ian hits – Just like many others in the area, my boat lift partially collapsed and my boat was barely hanging on to dear life. Again in a very unexpected fast timely manner, Stokes Marine brought out a crane and rescued my boat safely. They made it look so effortless, while other companies would not even take your calls in the area for even a simple advise.Couple months later now, I had to move to a new house due to damages from the hurricane to my old house. Again, Stokes Marine helped me out when no one else cared. They removed my bunks from the old house and installed them in the new boat lift, on the same day I contacted them!Please do yourself a favor and contact Stokes Marine with your inquiries. These guys are truly something else. In just a short term in Florida, I feel like I have found new friends that I can depend on. Special thanx to Conner for navigating the projects, Brian in the service department, Rudy, Ty and Daniel for their perfection.

    I had a new Dock and Boatlift installed by one of Stokes well know Competitors last September. I did not put my boat on the lift until the end of December. The gears started squealing immediately. I called the company that put the lift in and they said I needed to take care of the issue myself, they would not come out and solve the problem even though they installed the lift and I had never used it. After several discussions with them, I gave up and called Matt at Stokes and he immediately sent out a technician who took care of the problem. I had Stokes do all of the service at my last home and they are First Rate. I am sorry I did not have my Dock and Lift put in by Stokes to begin with. I recommend going to Stokes for all your Dock and Boat lift needs.

I had a quote early the next morning and was pleasantly surprised with the price of the two (2) options he gave me. Both were great options and went the one that best suited us. Rob thought the new cradle would not be in until Friday and installed Monday. This is Friday at noon and I just got a call from Payson, the supervisor on the job and the cradle install is complete!!
