Finally Sundace ownership took it upon themselves to resolve the issue once and for all by basically resealing all the components associated with the stern of the boat. Problem finally solved! Many thanks to ownership and the team at Sundance Yacht Sales for sticking with us to resolve the problem. Great place to buy a boat!! Check them out

We were looking for a…read morenew boat for our younger kids to go out and enjoy and ultimately we decided to go with a pontoon option somewhere else, but when the kids get older we will come back here to get our boat because even though we didn't buy a boat from here the experience that we had was far superior to any other boat dealer we visited. I highly recommend buying from them.

I hate buying large ticket items with all the pressure and risk involved. Darren Lamont at NW…read moreInboards made buying a boat an amazing experience. NO PRESSURE. Calm and relaxed -- he made sure he new what we wanted, telling us the first time we came to see him that the boat we were interested in was not for us. "I'll call you when I get something here that you want," he told us. A month later we drove home with exactly what our family hoped for. When the boat for us showed up Darren answered any questions we had. He speaks with few words and doesn't embellish or pretend to know everything about everything. What I'm saying is that you can tell he's telling the truth. On our test drive we had a small problem that Darren quickly diagnosed with a ballast tank. When we arrived back at the shop he sent us out for lunch while he fixed the problem. With the problem fixed Darren sent us home saying, "You're going to love this boat. Call me if you need anything."

Darren, Zac and Paul were the best. I'm new into boating, but they had a used boat that fit my…read morefamily's needs. Darren and I shared a few emails and texts, and settled on a price without a bunch of back/forth or games. Before buying from NW Inboards, I shopped at two other dealers who were no where near as straight-forward. At pick up, Darren set the pace according to mine -- however much time I needed was good by Darren. Zac quickly helped me get squared away with the new boat and Paul answered my random mechanical questions. The guys were a great team, professional and super passionate about boating. I learned a bunch from them and I'm 110% happy with the purchase experience. Best of all, my family is thrilled with our new boat from NW Inboards!

For our recent used boat purchase, Kris at Signature Yachts provided excellent customer service…read morefrom our first visit of the boat, through initial offer, surveys (helping schedule mechanical, rigging, and general survey), negotiations, and final purchase of the vessel. It was our first purchase and he provided guidance, and patiently answered my many noob questions. They even assisted us on our first voyage out through multiple draw bridges and the Ballard locks (given my wife and I had never done that!) If you're looking to sell, or buy (especially if you want a new Beneteau! They're a Beneteau dealer.) then I highly recommend Signature Yachts. Kris made the process as smooth as could be.

Best yacht brokerage in Seattle? Quite possibly. Not the biggest by a long shot, but what they do,…read morethey do VERY well, and they're well worth checking out. THE ROSES: This little 'boutique' yacht brokerage located on Westlake in a 'blink-or-you'll-miss-it' location has the exclusive concession for a couple of really innovative boats. One is the Tattoo 26 (formally the MacGregor 26 powersailor), one of the most successful sailboat designs of all time, and the Razor line of upscale party boats. They also have some listings in brokerage, and I believe they will also serve as Buyer's Agents in a transaction. THE THORNS: Office is hard to find, but you'll be glad you did! WHY 5 STARS? In a word, service. BWY is owned by people who are passionate boaters whose experience is, well simply, astonishing. They are honest to a fault; they have a philosophy that emphasizes creating long-term relationships based on trust, rather than a short-term, 'just make the sale' mentality. If you're looking for yacht brokers who are 'on the level', you'll be hard-pressed to find people better than these! THE VERDICT: Want a boat? Take the time to find these guys; you'll be glad you did!

Tom notified me, as requested, when a particular model I was seeking came available. Tom facilitated a viewing and helped with the purchase negotiations. When,after a survey the boat was found to need a few upgrades -Tom stepped in and got the work done immediately. And at no cost to me. Took delivery today and Tom helped get the boat clean and sorted out how my truck would best trailer the boat. As a final gesture, he gave me two co2 fired floatation vests that I admired. Could not be happier with my experience. This review is the least I can do to say thank you.

I've had good experiences with these guys…read more They fixed the carb on my old Honda B100 and they had parts for that old motor that I couldn't even find online. They did annual service on my Honda 75 4-stoike and it runs pretty sweet now. I've had it serviced elsewhere for years and it never ran this well. Service is pretty quick as far as I can tell. Mony is a nice guy and will try to help with advice. I've had the mechanics do the same, unprompted. If you're moored at South Park they'll come to your slip to check out your issue. Pretty good deal. And to that reviewer on here who gave them one star because he forgot to put his own drain plug back in before going out on the water? Dude that's your fault... Don't blame the business for that.

Overpriced $200/hour, slow, and careless…read more 8/20 update Boat engine would not start. Likely due to water damage caused by repair shop carelessness. 8/15 update Boat top speed was going lower, and alarm was starting to go off when going above 20. Took it in to Rick's. They said it was overheating but couldn't figure out the problem and kept changing things, water pump, electric fuse, wiring, and even the temperature gage which turned out to be fine. The alarm stopped, but the new temp gage which doesn't mast he my other gages, shows even higher temp close to 200. They forgot to put the plug back in and sent me on the water and the boat started sinking. I am lucky the engine didn't get damaged. I paid $7000 for this boat. It took them 4 weeks and cost me $2500 to have them fix the alarm. They kept saying they'd call me when things are done but never did. I had to call everyday to check on progress and they kept pushing it, blaming the tide, the parts, and so on. Still not sure what caused the alarm and what stopped it. They almost cost me the whole engine, and since they have you sign disclaimers they would take zero responsibility. Go somewhere else. Most places charge almost half the price for labor, are faster, and are probably less careless.

We have had the pleasure of working with our Broker, Jon Heisel for 2 boat transactions now and we…read morecan't say enough great things about Jon and the team at Irwin Yacht Sales. Jon is a life long boater and as a Broker has been helping folks buy and sell their boats for many years. His knowledge, and expertise of boats of all sizes is second to none. His follow through is impeccable and his knowledge of Pudget Sound truly helped us in making the right purchase for us. We found Jon to be genuinely interested in our boating needs and is about the nicest person you'd ever meet. Whether you're buying or selling a boat we highly recommend you call Jon first. You will be glad you did.

Well considering it was the peak of pandemic boat buying frenzy and I had been trolling classifieds for months....our prospects look bleak to get one before summer. But a great friend strongly recommended Jon and low and behold he delivered boating gold in the form of a 270 Sundancer in Bristol shape. He did an excellent job helping not only decide what kind of boat - moving up from a 23ft, but most importantly found us the perfect boat. In addition, he made the whole buying process full transparent and super easy. His Irwin team is just awesome too! Wish I could give him 6 stars :-)

The man behind the counter acknowledged my request.

It was listed for two years for the exact repair price and I ended up going down on the price several times. It finally sold for a loss.. Lost over $200. I would have been money ahead to give it away for free un-repaired. I trusted you dang it !
