Alex (shop manager) was extremely responsive and communicative in regard to what would be my best options to get me back out on the water. Their team of mechanics are all great dudes and know their craft. The pricing was neither affordable or outrageous, however, they provided quality work in a timely manner. Regency has earned my follow up boating repair/servicing business and I'd be happy to recommend them to anyone (especially Honda or Yamaha folks). Thanks again to Alex and the whole Regency team!

Steve Curran, "principal yacht broker", totally dropped the ball on us. We were serious buyers and…read morehe just went silent after being presented with a list of questions about a boat we were very interested in. He was okay on the phone on the initial inquiry, gave a couple of one word answers to messages we sent him like asking if he'd received our email, and then nothing. We live 400 miles away and the asking price was $38k, so maybe he just figured we weren't likely buyers or it wasn't worth the effort for a smaller commission. Someone is really hoping to sell that boat and Steve would be taking a commission and has contracted to try to sell this boat and is apparently not wanting to do any actual work to do so. I think this is lazy at best and violation of contract in actual fact. Someone is paying slip fees while this boat goes unsold and we've moved on to another boat.

In fact, I was stunned that he was able to find a buyer in just two weeks at a price I was happy with. He made the whole process seem easy, when I know that's often not the case. Highly recommend!

Win Weaver and Manny Barsegyan are so amazing and go above and beyond the call of duty. Win was super generous with his time and knowledge on what needs to be done to a boat we are buying through BKYS and Manny has been simply amazing in all of his communications and attention to detail. We live 2+ hours away so Manny was so incredibly thoughtful and took the time to take a bunch of videos of the boat under way so we could feel comfortable with the boat before making our offer. We trust Win's judgement without reservation and we feel incredibly comfortable with the purchase because of both of these amazing gentlemen's efforts. Truly amazing people at Bob Koepple Yacht Sales!

Last summer bought a low end power boat from John Luft at this brokerage. My advice - if you…read morepurchase a boat, make sure the broker doesn't live on the boat next to it! When I sold my fishing boat I gave the buyer every spare part, accessory, etc I had. This broker scored every little thing off this boat that wasn't nailed down. I asked about the little stuff I noticed on survey and he said if it wasn't on the contract it isn't part of the boat. Surprised he didn't keep the furniture. Theres a nice davit on the boat and a very nice RIB tied to his boat. I was never offered the chance to purchase/negotiate that, and who knows what else he scored. Documents/legal/time/nogotiations were fine although he tried to brush aside some needed repairs. Overall a soured experience and I learned a lesson to be more mindful of my surroundings. Brokerage was fine but I recommend using a different agent.

The mother and son duo really took…read morethe time to help me with my outboard questions, treated me with respect and handled everything with genuine care. There was nothing rushed, nothing scripted, and they got the job done. They appear to provide honest work and definitely made sure I left with my problem solved. I appreciate that they are a long-standing family business. You can feel it in the way they operate. They show pride in what they do, they stand behind their work, and they treat people the right way. Do not let any negative reviews distract you. They truly do not reflect the real experience this family provides. My experience was superb, helpful, and genuine. I am certain that they do not receive the recognition that they deserve but at least this review - from the heart - can communicate to future customers that you really are in good hands when you come to this business for whatever you need.

John has taken care of meeting everyone that was needed to get by boat up and running safely. The rigger, mechanic, boat cleaner, redoing and cleaning the entire interior of my beautiful boat. He also lined me up with getting the boat re-named and re-stripped. John helped me re-do all the upholstery and designed the perfect bimini top for my boat! She is fresh and running beautifully now!! Truly the easiest thing I have done in the last 5 years is purchase this boat thanks to John - I try and buy him lunch or at least a drink every time I see him at the Cal Yacht Club to thank him! John has also introduced me to some wonderful people at the club who have invited me sailing! Thank you John for making a life long dream of mine come true - you are amazing!! Kim L. Wooden

We used this brokerage to sell our boat. Unfortunately we did not get the service that we…read moreexpected. Once we signed an exclusive contract we heard from many people in the area that we had not chosen wisely and we found this to be true almost immediately. They only posted on one website, the text did not make sense, the photos did not flow (nor did they have captions.) I posted on a couple other websites as we were in a hurry to sell and this apparently breached our contract, but we turned up more leads than they did. The boat was listed at a lower price than we had agreed to, and then we were pressured into accepting an offer which was far below what we expressed we would be willing to settle on. Even though we paid the commission, it felt as if they were working more for the buyer than the seller. Not proactive, just felt as if they wanted to list it and let it sit until it sold so they could collect commission. Sometimes I would wait up to 5 days to get a response via email. I would suggest doing your homework and working with another brokerage in the Marina del Rey area if you are considering selling your boat. They get 2 stars because the did the paperwork and the check cleared.
