Called and spoke to Mike today because I am WAY behind in winterizing my Bayliner. I'm a new-ish…read moreboat owner who moved up here from Louisiana, so winterizing is not something I'm familiar with, nor was our tech down in New Orleans. Anyway - Mike was SO helpful answering our questions and did so after hours. I have spoken with numerous other boat shops before when I've had rookie questions, but they've usually been snappy and impatient. Not Mike! He didn't make me feel rushed to get off the phone or that I was inconveniencing him. He gave me some great basic winterization info and I feel so much better going into this nasty cold weather coming this weekend. Thanks Mike! I am definitely going to keep Union Marine in mind for future services.

I really liked the sales effort and personal attention before and during the long sales process…read more Scott Kay was knowledgeable and attentive until the deal went through and then he dropped us like a hot rock. The new MasterCraft XT22 has had some issues with software and although he said he would be there for us and promised to install the registration stickers, he did not. He just directed me to Julia the Service lead via email. The service interaction has not been a stellar experience. Although Julia is responsive, there is little effort or follow through substance in the interactions. My boat is flawed and no one seems to care and if they do they have no sense of urgency or reasonable communication. It could be that they can't fix it without MasterCraft's help, but they could be more attentive to the interval of communication and give me some timeline to resolution. It is too bad, I had hoped they would be better at all of this as it is their main business. One note of praise goes to June who help us test our boat and even taught us to surf. She lent us her wake board and was very friendly and considerate with her sharing of knowledge and expertise.

I can't say enough great things about Parker at Seattle Boat! He stayed in touch with me for over…read moretwo years--never pushy, always patient--and when the time was right, he helped me find the perfect Cobalt. Not only did he answer every one of my (many!) questions along the way, but he also personally arranged delivery from Seattle to Lake Chelan, directly to my boat slip, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Parker truly went above and beyond, and I'm so grateful for his professionalism, dedication, and genuine care throughout the process. If you're looking for someone who really puts the customer first, Parker is your guy!

I would be cautious when dealing with this company for a few reasons. We were looking at a used…read moreboat with them. The price was negotiated before we looked at it with the caveat that the boat was in good condition. They also signed a letter of intent on price with a new trailer vs. using one they had there. Experience when we got there to test drive was great and kid that took us out on the water was super nice. However when we pulled the boat out to look at the hull (when they said boat was in good condition), the entire outdrive was very chewed up (more than just the skeg itself). Parker who was the salesman kind of just dismissed us saying we couldn't make a deal that day (for various reasons) and went back on the letter of intent price we had in writing for both the boat (couple hundred bucks difference) and the new trailer price (couple thousand dollars difference). He said he would call the next morning and never did. Something must have happened with him going back on what he personally wrote in writing vs. what he said that day however having multiple dishonest practices is enough for me to not do business with them.

I specifically stated to repair my outboard without superseding the value as I was going to sell it…read moreonline as I got the motor on the back of a boat I bought and didn't need it. The man behind the counter acknowledged my request. I was a little surprised at the high price, but wasn't concerned, because he was the motor proffesional, and that just meant my motor was worth more then I thought. WRONG ! 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 !

Waypoint may be a good shop for larger boats, but my experience with a small portable outboard was…read morefrustrating due to pricing transparency and communication. I brought in my 2012 9.8hp Tohatsu to get a quote on fixing a minor lower unit leak. The staff were polite and got back to me quickly. The repair quote came back at $780.90, which is actually more than the price of a brand-new lower unit ($687.99). When I declined the repair, I was then billed $346.02 just to prepare the quote. After I pointed out that an environmental fee shouldn't apply to a quote, the bill was reduced to $259.79. I was never verbally told there would be a minimum diagnostic charge to produce the quote. The shop labor rate is $235/hour, which is fine if that's their pricing structure -- but it would have been helpful to know that before dropping off a small portable outboard. I don't blame the technician, and I'm sure this shop does good work. But for small outboards this pricing structure doesn't really make sense, and the lack of clear communication upfront created a bad experience. If the shop had simply said on the phone or at drop-off that there is a 1-hour minimum diagnostic charge ($235+) to produce a quote, I could have made an informed decision and avoided the situation. If you have a small portable outboard, I recommend getting clear pricing over the phone.

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.

I just had my 13 year old 34 foot sailboat in at CSR Marine for bottom maintenance, a PSS shaft…read moreseal replacement and running gear maintenance, and some minor electrical and electronics work. I was impressed with the quality of the work and the communication. They laid out a very reasonable work plan, and pointed out a couple of issues that they suggested I handle (more cheaply) myself (even supplying manufacturer part numbers). They hit their budget estimates, were very clear when communicating about a couple of problems that were discovered during the work, and were patient and willing to have me continually asking about the work, to learn more about my boat and about the maintenance work that was being done. I left the yard with all of the work done that I had wanted done, with a great bottom, and with the running gear spinning like a top. This is not the cheapest yard around (I did cringe when I saw the final bill!), but the quality of work, and personal attention, were top notch. I'm very happy to be caught up on my deferred maintenance and to be confident in my systems, and that peace of mind is worth it. Oh, and I'm now about a knot faster than before I went in. Highly recommended. I'll be back.
