Customer Testimonials

I was impressed when I received the well wrapped davits, stabilizing strut and 6:1 purchase kit. The finish and quality of construction is first rate. My grandson and I installed the davits in one afternoon on our 36' Islander sailboat. They look and operate great. My next project will be to install two Sunsei solar panels, each 28.5' X 46' on the davits, which I believe will make an excellent mounting location. I did add two extra braces from each davit to deck to give extra support for hoisting an Aquapro 10' dinghy plus an attached 18hp two stroke Tohatsu outboard.

We purchased Martek Davits for our trawler Desue. We had researched the net and found these to be the best value and quality for our purpose. We needed some modifications and the Martek team provided back up and support and was able to supply us with the modifications we needed. We further added a strengthening base plate and the system works exactly as promised. This is a good value quality product that we can heartily recommend.

Install MT370 on my Trawler to hoist a 9 ft fiberglass dinghy w/5 HP OB. Great quality, great service. Don't look any further if you are shopping for davits. You have found the best with these. I did feel that adding two rail to deck braces for safety support was optional, but I did it for peace of mind. Had to have the spreader bar built longer but that wasn't a problem. Tom was easy to work with and very accommodating. Totally satisfied.
Charlie Santo
The davit fits perfectly. It was easy to install and at the right price. Thank you.
Michelle Dettalf
I am very happy with the way the Martek Davits fit my small boat. ( Island Packet 27) They are strong yet relatively light and are an ideal solution for dinghy storage in spite of the size of my boat. I also give the company five stars for customer service.
Tom Waid
Nothing was too much trouble for Robert. I just bought an extension piece for my davits, you would have thought I was buying a whole new system. After checking thoroughly that I had measured correctly and having verified by photo exactly what I needed, he not only had the piece made, but personally delivered it to my boat and helped me install it. In an age where good service is hard to find, Robert really understands the concept and delivers the very best.
Peter Roberts
I installed the MT600 EXT Davit System on my Jeanneau 45. After sharing my bespoke design with Robert to reinforce my boat's existing structure and mounting hard points, he said these davits were adequate for my 420# dinghy. After install, my load testing confirmed his confidence in his product. The key is proper installation of the entire structural system! The build quality is excellent and the strength is significantly better than any other brand I evaluated! The polish quality is amazing. After a summer of cruising, the MT600 davits have exceeded my expectations.
Gerry Gilbert
Having initially tried another well known davit set (which failed twice) I changed to the Martek system for the quality of their construction as well as their immediate personal customer service. With over sixty years of coastal and offshore cruising experience I am comfortable that Martek is the right dinghy solution for our 43' sailboat.
Fred Brooke
I installed the Martek 600EXT Davits on my Catalina 380. High quality product and great support from Robert. Everything was shipped expeditiously and very well packaged. It was a super easy DIY install and these davits are STURDY!
