Customers who talk about Rod Twitchin marine
We love receving feedback from our clients, here is what some of them have had to say.
"Having used Rod at RTM twice in the last 12 months regarding two separate vessels. First was to compose an Operations Manual for the 88ft Monte Fino “MV SAHANA”, the second occasion was for a Pre-Purchase Survey of the 100ft Sunseeker “MY COLETTE”.
Rod and his team have a wealth of experience and knowledge of the engineering and systems involved in running these larger vessels.
Rods back up and availability for further questions and assistance in running these vessels has been most valuable to me.
I thoroughly recommended Rod for his professionalism and knowledge in the marine industry".

"I own the small ship INVESTIGATOR on the Gold Coast, like most boat owners I want the best maintained vessel I can have so that I’m safe and well prepared when I’m underway.
Rod who owns RTM is my chosen 'go-to' guy for delivering a complete package of boat maintenance for INVESTIGATOR.
His industry knowledge is second to none, his ability to bring the relevant tradespeople to perform their task from welding to upholstery and everything in between has proven a very satisfactory solution for me both on costs and timing.
I have no hesitation in recommending Rod to any boat owner looking for help with any aspect of their boating".

"What a GEM! Our meeting with Rod occurred when we purchased our motor cruiser early 2014.
During the months that followed, we required some assistance, and Rod was the man.
Rod’s professional knowledge aptitude and integrity relating to maintenance was excellent and a credit to his profession. Rod’s care to detail was evident always maintaining a high standard of workmanship.
Whether it's for boat maintenance, skippering or needing some mentoring in handling ones vessel Rod is highly recommended.
Overall Rod is a genuine nice guy and very easy to work with".
