They make it super convenient to get work done on your boat! I also keep my trailer stored there in the summer. Great place! It gets dirty, but who cares... lol.. Great prices on storing her all summer long! No curb appeal but they get the job done at a reasonable price!

He then tried to put in a rebuilt part vs a new one without asking us what we wanted to do he did work without getting our approval. Then he had the nerve to get angered with us when we told him it was illegal to do work on any automotive vessel without customer approval. He then refused to do any more work, stopped replying to calls and texts, and left our boat taken apart. They never provided us with any invoice or any receipts to show us what they actually did, I think because they never did anything at all and were just trying to take our money. We had to bring it elsewhere to get fixed and it costs us over twice as much as it should have because of the incompetence and unethical business practices done by the Chandlery. We found pieces of the boat that should have been reattached sitting in the cup holders. The boat was left in shambles complete a mess dirty (shoe prints all over the seats) and not put back together. I think they saw 2 younger people and thought they could scam us. There's a reason they aren't accredited by the better business bureau. I'm now looking into small claims court.

During an annual fluid change preformed by the Chandlery, they did not install the oil filter properly, causing 6 liters of oil dumped in the hull of my boat. They apologized and said they would make it right, clean all the oil out and make it new again. Unfortunately after having the boat in their possession for two weeks, and multiple opportunities they were not able to clean all the oil. They tried and said it was the best that they could do, but they simply did not have the equipment or knowhow to clean the oil out. So I requested that we go to a 3rd party to clean the boat, they said fine and I would let them know the cost. I took the boat to a professional boat shop and luckily they were able to get it clean. It cost me over $500 and the Chandlery will not pay for it, saying they could have had it done by their vendor for cheaper. Weird thing is they never even offered. Not only was I over charged for the oil change, the Chandlery will not reimburse me for the clean out. Honestly, I was not upset with the mistake. I gave the Chandlery plenty of patience and opportunity, it is just sad that they will not make it right...and rude about it too. Stay away!

My wife and I are new to the area and just bought a 2000 Super Air Nautique which started having issues after a few outings. We had a *BIG* family house warming party with boating in the plans and needed to have the boat up and running. Trying to get a shop to even give a straight answer as to when it could be diagnosed was proving darned near impossible with ghosting after scheduled appointments that were missed. Called Stephen - he offered to check it out. His knowledge is vast! He even said he'd have us on the water in time for the family party. Communications were STELLAR!!! He let us know what he found, what he intended on doing, the status, sending pics, when parts were ordered, then delivered, then test drive results, etc... Yes - he test drives it! We had our boat in ship-shape (sorry - pun intended) and pulling our family on rafts and wake boards just as he promised. Actually, Stephen really went above and beyond, and then... He even contacted us durning the weekend to check up on us and see how the boat was doing!!!! Are you kidding!? What amazing service and kind attention to your customers. Again - look no further! You will never find a marine mechanic this great. Oh, and by the way, he's a really nice person!!!

I would give this place a negative five stars if I could. They wasted my time, money and took no…read moreresponsibility for their unprofessional conduct. I see there are a lot of people who have reported good experiences with this company, but that was not my experience. On August 20th, I emailed Kelvin at Delta Boat Works: "I am trying to schedule a date to bring my 42 Carver up for some repairs. Can you let me know if you have availability the first week of October, the last week of November or during December." Kelvin the manager responded: "That should be no problem, let me know a date and I will lock it into my schedule. Kelvin" I called him and spoke with Kelvin and explained I wanted an estimate on repairs and sent him an email with the list. I explained I was going away for a week and to contact me about the estimate so I could approve the repairs, and shared when I got back I need the boat as I am a live aboard. I called back in November to confirm bringing my boat up in November. No response. I had to call several times and was told it was "no problem". I navigated my boat from Pittsburg and took the day off of work to have enough time to review work I wanted done. I called ahead and they said they would meet me at the dock. It was a two hour navigation and I made good time. I arrived at 11:30A.M. and spent an hour speaking with Rick and going through the boat with him. Two things I specifically asked Rick to do was to connect the boat to shore power, since I had food in the fridge and make sure the boat was secure to keep vermin off the boat. He said "no problems and that he'd never seen any rats or racoons there before." I left for my trip and never heard back from anyone at Delta Boat Works. I attempted to call them and no response. I had a friend call them and he said they told them they would email me. Kelvin's response was that they couldn't get any estimates done because it was the holidays, but Rick would have one to me by the end of the day of Monday or Tuesday. Rick never did send me an estimate. I returned on the following Friday. When I got to my boat, it was a mess and in poor condition due to the storms that had been going on. I found the boat's aft cabin door had been left open. There was rat scat all over the aft deck. The boat was plugged in, but Rick never took the time to switch the boat over to shore power, so the food in the fridge had all gone bad. I emailed Kelvin and requested that Delta Boat Works compensate for the lost food and clean up the rat poop. I asked again for the estimate. I received no response from Kelvin, but a call back from Rick. He claimed that the crew told him that I had said the electricity was on in the boat when I left. It was a lie, because he was the last one I saw when I left. So, he took no responsibility. He also took no responsibility for the open door or the rats. I trapped and killed three of them on the boat before I got it out of there. I tried to salvage the appointment, but Rick brought up that the owner didn't want to work on a boat with someone who was a live aboard, at which point I said, "Forget it". I had explained the circumstances before I brought the boat up and was experiencing nothing but lame excuses and obviously no interest to work on my boat. So, I lost time and about $500 in fuel, food and traps. I would not recommend this place to anyone with a boat who values their investment. You may have a good experience, but you may not and who needs to waste time on a company that can't follow through? The good news is I am so glad they didn't start any work on my boat.

Plan B - find a boat yard to do a bottom job and several other projects on my 50 year old Coronado 27. While most kept saying that "yes they could do the work", none would or could come up with a date. Found Delta Boat Works by accident and stopped by to check them out. Not only were they very helpful, they were able to immediately give me a haul out date, only three weeks away. Just got the boat back today and was very happy with the results, everything was done as expected and at a reasonable rate. Rick and Jessica were very helpful, and followed up with progress reports and photos as the project progressed. Would I recommend them??? Definitly yes.

At the end of last season (2023), and our last day of boating, we met this couple doing a gel coat…read morerepair at Bethel Harbor; Dennis Russo is the gentleman's name. The couple was very nice and Dennis was very helpful as we asked questions about their business. We told them about a stain in our gel coat in a small section at the waterline, and asked if they would take a look at it and let us know what they think. Since we were putting away the boat for the winter, we would not be returning to Bethel Harbor until this season, 2024. A few days after we met them, I received a call from them letting me know that they had finished the work and were able to successfully remove the stain with a cleaning solution, no gel coat application needed! Today, my husband sent me a picture of the area they worked on and you can't tell it was ever stained! I wish we had taken a "before" picture so we could share the "before and after" photos. We are very happy with the outcome and so excited to have met Dennis and his helper!!! Thank you so much! We are going to share your information with our ski club, Bay Area Water Ski Club (BAWSC)! Keep an ear open for calls from some of our members!!!
