Hands down the best place you can take your boat I continually drive over 2 hours for my service and maintenance on my Mercury Motors! Great people to do business with! Wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Excellent Service! I am new to the boating world and recently had Hans service my boat. First time taking the boat out this year and I had so many questions, thankfully Hans answered his cell phone number and walked me through the basic steps to make sure I was comfortable on the lake! Thank you again for the wonderful service! read more

We looked at boats in Fresno and Bakersfield and had by far the best service and attention from Hans' the owner of Hans Boat Works. He had in his price included a custom boat trailer with an extra lower step. just overall a better trailer and rims compared to other places. The comfort of the cushions compared to the other Fresno and Bakersfiled boats was better for the same price. Hans also worked with us on the price and he gave us his cell phone number so that we could negotiate and ask questions. The last boat we bought over 25 years ago from Han's but was known as Eco Marine, but Hans sold us that boat and it's still a great boat. We are extremely excited and happy with our new boat!! Thanks Hans' and family read more

It's been just a little over month now since I bought my first Ranger boat. Hans and his team were great to work with and strived to get me the best boat for my dollar. I went in knowing very little about boats and all of their options. Never in a million years did I believe I would own a boat as fine as a Ranger. Great customer service, extremely knowledgeable when it comes to outboard motors and his team did a heck of a job rearranging and then installing my electronics on the console and hull of the boat. When it was time to pick the boat up, Hans took my family and me out for a private lesson on the lake showing us all of the features and options on the boat and in the water! I know my boat will be in good hands with Hans and his team when it time for it's routine maintenance. Don't look anywhere else... just take my word for it and go to Hans' Boat Works. You'll be happy you did. read more

20 year customer lost forever. Let me first say, Hans is a great man and the best boat mechanic I've ever met, but over the past 5 years, one of his employee mechanics just did us wrong. There is way too much to detail, but I got him to admit he missed the problem in 2016 when we were charged $2300.00 for repair, he also missed the same problem this year 2021, costing us $2600.00+ for the same problem that was supposed to be fixed in 2016 and we still are not fixed correctly, just a band-aid till it breaks again. The mechanic won't own up to his mistake even though I got him to admit he made the mistake. If I were anybody reading this, please head my advice and be very careful if you are using this establishment. I will go elsewhere from here on out, they do not stand by their work. read more

I just can't say enough about this place, even after you purchase a boat from Han's, the service you get and how your treated is second to none. The moment you walk through the door you are welcomed in like a long lost friend and treated like your part of the family, no matter how small of a purchase you may make or if you just have a question about which oil to use in your outboard rest assured Han's and his awesome staff will give you all the information you need. Give this place a try for all your boating needs !!! I highly recommend it ! read more

Howdy, I just had our 2016 Master Craft X-30, repaired at Hans' Boat Works. They are a certified Master Craft dealer. I would like to compliment them on their polite, friendly, professional, and technical knowledge. They are my new favorite Master Craft Boat shop. The following people I dealt with were great: - Hans - Ian - Tyler - Ryan? They had me in and out quickly for a repair that I thought would take more than a day. Hans' Boat Works shop is clean, has good parking, nice showroom, and Pro shop. The place is right off the freeway. I recommend Hans' Boat Works for your boat purchase, warrenty work, and repairs. Thank you for what you do. Paul Nelson read more

Over the course of two weeks I made multiple requests for pricing and information on a boat (that I purchased from a far superior dealership in WH) Han's himself returned my email originally which I thought was cool, but then gave me the runaround for days and days. They don't even answer the phone during business hours. Had a friend call and they ignored him too. Not at all the friendly service you'd expect in the SJV. read more

Honest people, best work in the industry. I bring my boat all the way from OC for them to work in. Too many crooks out there that do shady work, Hans is the best!! read more

I don't normally leave a review in a negative but I was very disappointed in this dealers behavior when approached with a problem after repairs were made. I was told that they won't help me with a repair that I was billed 700 for only to still have the same issue.i was told they "just don't do this work anymore" But could take my money before. I was polite and did not even expect it to be free since some time has past. I just wanted them to care. I'm purchasing a new pontoon boat and wanted to do it here but I was clearly judged by my prior boat that they don't need my money. If you need service or need to purchase a boat you may consider a dealer with a more considerate approach. these guys do well they may not need your business. Or at least that's the way I felt. read more

I was looking for a water pump for my fishing boat and Hans was able to get me a complete assembly in no time at all and everyone in the office treated me respectfully and were very helpful read more

I've been going to Hans for many years, He is an honest man. The first time I met him was when I had family from out of town with us us. We had plans to go to the lake when I realized that the trim on my boat was malfunctioning. The company that usually serviced my boat for many years didn't really know me and say they wouldn't be able to look at it. I contacted Hans and he said he would take a look at it. Hans figured out the problem in a matter of minutes. It was a short in the wiring, he repaired it on the spot. When I asked him how much I owed him he wouldn't accept any payment. I thanked him and have been taking my boat to him for many years. I also recommend him to all my friends who have boats. read more

As a family we have owned four previous boats and never left a dealership feeling like we made a friend or made a memory during the buying process. Well that all changed with our newest purchase of our new MasterCraft XT25 through Hans' Boat Works. Our initial contact with Hans himself was so genuine, honest and thorough that we made an 8 hour drive just to do business with Hans even though we had other options much closer. He is a "tell it like it is" kind of guy and a man of his word that will go out of his way to make your boat buying experience one of a kind. Not only the day you make the purchase, but for years to follow. He and his incredibly friendly and kind team took such good care of us, took us out on the lake to showcase the boat's features and made sure that before we pulled away, that we were satisfied with our new vessel. We cannot recommend this family owned business more and the customer service we experienced was one of a kind. Rest assured, you will not be disappointed in this great business! read more

Did good work on my boat. Found some additional problems and called to see if I wanted them addressed. Kind of expensive but I don't think you will find a good mechanic any cheaper. I was satisfied with the work and customer service. Feel they are honest. Will go there again. read more
