I love Yelp reviews!... a previous customer wrote a helpful review of this place that happened to be about the exact same situation I was in. When Sea-doo stopped making their jet boats, I couldn't find anyone other than where I bought the boat (2.5 hr drive from my home) to fix or maintain my Sea-doo 150 Speedster jet boat. Due to multiple circumstances, the boat unfortunately sat trailered and unused for the past 7 years, and definitely needed a refresh & couple of replacement parts before it was ready for the river again. So, no surprise I was SUPER excited and thankful to find Arteen and his shop, (especially only being a quick drive into Escondido)! He is very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. This guy knows his stuff! So, if you're stuck with a Sea-doo jet boat, or have jet skis / waverunners that need some work or maintenance, I HIGHLY recommend contacting Arteen at Havasu Powersports! Thanks again Arteen! See ya next time our boat is in need of your help! read more

Arteen is amazing! My ski needed a tune up and a seat re upholstered. I had a tangle in my impeller. He was so polite, very knowledgeable, professional, truely cares about your issues and safety. Turn around was in a few days. I'm so happy read more

So stoked I found this spot. Took me a long time to find a great mechanic to work on my Yamaha FX SVHO. A lot of jet ski repair shops have mixed reviews, there is a reason this place doesn't have any bad reviews. They take tremendous pride in their work and customer hospitality and do the job the right way. I took my machine here after another shop botched an install. I won't be taking my Waverunner anywhere else. Highly recommended. read more

I tried to fix the Quick Trim on my 2004 Yamaha FX140. Instead I made a complete mess of it. I contacted Havasu Powersports a couple of weeks ago and got an appointment for today, Aug 28, 2025. I had real trepidation about the expense, after searching replacement part costs online. Well, the owner, Arteen, had some used parts that he installed, costing a fraction of my anticipated bill. I would recommend this shop without hesitation! read more

Costumer service impeccable. Really felt taken care of with the straightforward mechanic.

This place helps me keep my old Honda waverunners going. Very helpful and knowledgeable. I've been coming here for over 5 years and will continue. Thank you for all your help Artine!! read more

Amazing work complete easy to work with honest and my Sea-Doo jet boat runs better than ever

These guys have been called the jet ski whisperers for a reason. Very k owledgable and professional and very eager to help you. I like to work work on my own machines and Arteen and Brandon even tought me how to rebuild my motor. Very cool guys, rare to find a shop like that now adays! read more

Great personal and very knowledgeable they also have the jetski wall of fame the best in Havasu

This place was great. Had two 1996 jetskis that need service. They got them both up and going great. They even did some extra work and didn't charge me extra. This place did a great job read more

Every once in a while in life as a consumer you come across a business that has just nailed "it." Where the product is beyond expectation, and the service is just as amazing. HW, is one of those businesses. I don't want to come across as being cheesy, but these guys are amazing. I've got two two-smoke jet skis that I care for and tend to with lots of TLC but there are times when only a shop can help. After trying several "reputable" shops around San Diego, they all failed me, miserably. They were either understaffed, underskilled, and/or overpriced. I have unfortunately learned some tough lessons searching around for one. About a year ago, I was out on mission bay and noticed this guy with a truck with Havasu Watercraft logo on the door, meticulously loading and unloading various ski's and testing them 1x1. I didn't pay much attention at the time, but that guy (who I now know as Brandon) was out there for hours tuning these jet ski's. Well for one reason or another, I remembered their name after a "reputable" shop left me in a terrible position, and in my last ditch effort to get my Jet Ski's before hanging up the wetsuit, I googled them and found them. I drove out to their shop for more or less to get my eyes on their operations to see if this would be someone I would give my babies to and of course money. From the moment I walked in, one of the employees Austin, was just absolutely amazing with answering all my questions giving me advice and going way out of his way to make sure I got what I needed. I knew from the answers he was giving me that these guys were in it for the Love of it, and not just the quick buck. So I decided to give it a go. They were very honest and forthcoming about everything that was wrong with my ski(s) they also explained that they are cautious when dealing with 2 stroke owners as (many) do not give them the care that they require and often get them for cheap and think a couple bucks will get them running. They did an initial inspection and gave me an honest quote. I put my faith in these guys AND THEY DID NOT DISSAPPOINT! Holy sh%& they have repaired and tuned the living heck out of my ski's. For the quality of work, they charge a very fair rate (it ain't cheap, but you get what you pay for) Want cheap, you'll find tons of them on CL who will gladly take your money and leave you begging for a tow to shore. HW made it clear they are more concerned with quality vs.quantity, and they weren't lying. Turn around time was about 2 weeks which included tuning on water, it would've been sooner but there was a few rain days. I could go on a write a novel about this business, their owner and employees and the passion they have in their craft but to save time. STOP WASTING YOUR TIME, AND CALL THEM UP NOW. You will not be disappointed. My only fear is that this is a somewhat small operation, and it would be challenge to scale such a quality infused service like this, so I hope that hold on to what they are doing because it truly very special. Much kudos to them for what they have managed to bring to the market and I wish them all the success that they can handle. 5 stars all the way around! if I could give 6 I would. read more

See all

Brandon and his team are excellent. My 07 Yamaha FXHO was stalling out when going over waves. This shop was recommended and I will recommend it to anyone and everyone. It was a very simple fix that I never would have figured out. Thank you all very much. See you soon but not too soon. read more

This repair shop is the best around, very friendly, honest, reputable, reasonably priced..I strongly recommend them..My Sea Doo is now running great. read more

Brought my Superjet to Brandon with what I thought (or maybe prayed) was simple carb issues, turns out both the sleeves on my BB760 cut loose.. New top end needed. As it turns out, The company that built the motor is taking care of the issue.. But it took me 3 weeks to get to that conclusion, and I'm impatient so I bought a new 781. Brandon put that bad boy in like a pro! I'm picky as hell on aesthetics, and luckily for me..So is Brandon. He did it exactly how I would do it (if I knew what the hell I was doing) Price was more than reasonable and he's a great guy to deal with. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Havasu Powersports - New JMBB781 installed by Brandon. - Boat Parts & Supplies Near Me - Escondido, California

I recently bought an old 1996 Yamaha Wave runner, but when I took it out on the water for the first time it would die when I hit the throttle. I took it to Brandon at Havasu Watercraft and he immediately said I would have to do a carb rebuild. After a couple phone calls it seemed like there were plenty more problems that the previous owner tried to fix themselves but failed miserably. I paid a little bit more for all these fixes but it was definitely worth it. Brandon even took the time to fine tune the ski even after I had paid for it, making sure it sounded just perfect. I took it out on the water a couple times last week and the ski was running very smoothly. I'm not that mechanical when it comes to PWC's but it's comforting when you deal with a place like Havasu Watercraft. read more

Excellent experience! We were referred to them after a not so pleasant experience we had at a different shop in the east county. These guys were very personable, quick turnaround and didn't gouge us! Will definitely recommend them in the future and will continue to make the drive from El Cajon to Escondido for future repairs and service! Nice to find a place you can trust read more

Awesome little PWC shop that always has skis coming in and out. They are always busy and have an awesome staff that are all jet ski gurus. Highly recommend Brandon for any service and repairs. read more

Took my Seadoo GTIs in for 50 hour service and these guys knocked it out the park. Friendly, punctual and completely dialed in. They went above and beyond my expectations and we're super knowledgeable. Will be back and recommending any chance I get. Thanks again guys. read more

Simply put: Brandon Rules. He knows his stuff, and he's honest. Havasu is busy and not inexpensive, but I guess that's no surprise for being that good. It's nice to have a mechanic who specializes in waverunners, jet skis and jet boats. Recommend taking your watercraft to Havasu during the off season when they have more time. read more

Brandon the owner is a god when it comes to the art of Jet ski mechanics after a nightmare at Escondido cycle center my jet skis were still problematic Brandon got them running perfectly these guys rock and they actually answer questions and genuinely care about their work and there finished product 5 starts isn't enough. ECC has lost my patronage and my respect. read more

Havasu Powersports - My sea doo xp limited water crafts - Boat Parts & Supplies Near Me - Escondido, California

I tried this place out based on the awesome Yelp reviews and I wasn't let down. These guys know skis inside out and usually have options on how to fix anything that maybe wrong with your ski. The only reason I took one star off was the communication was a little lacking and the business read more

This is probably my favorite steak house... Just kidding. Thanks guys. You are the best. I really, really, really enjoy my new used jet ski. Good/fair price and continued help even after they took my money...j.k. I gave it to them. They earned it. I will keep going back for life. Or until I become good enough to do all my own repairs. read more

If you need a boat or Seadoo repaired. You have to go to Havasu Watercraft. They do incredible work and it's done fast and correct. I was told by two other boat repair places that they wouldn't touch my boat for what I needed done. Havasu Watercraft not only took the job, but did an outstanding job. read more

These guys are the "GO TO" guys when you need work on your personal watercraft. They don't think like your typical service/parts shop employees. They know exactly what they are working on, stand behind their work, and will be very straight forward with you about what you ACTUALLY need. I was able to bring by my old 2 stroke bombardier seadoos which they did a wonderful job on and even pointed out a few easy things I could do myself which ending up saving me a lot of money. Very honest, easy to work with group of guys here. Would highly recommend to anyone considering having someone repair, diagnose, upgrade, or service their watercraft read more

We have used this company for a lot of used parts thru the years. They always have what I need and at a great price. Brandon is super friendly and unbelievably helpful. He will do or recommend that you do , what is needed , not what will make him money. He acts like a friend, not someone looking to make a buck . If you have any Watercraft or ATVs this is the place to go for parts or repairs. I do not know of a mechanic with more experience or common sense. He is on your side. Highly Recommended !! read more

I just wanted to thank Brandon personally for all his help this past weekend on my boat while I was at the river. We met by just being rental neighbors and Brandon was at my house doing everything he could to get us back up and running till 3 am! He is a great guy and I would recommend him to anyone needing anything boat or jet ski related. 5 stars don't come close to giving him justice. If you ever need body work on your cars please don't hesitate to reach out so I can repay the favor. Thank you again Brandon. read more

I brought Brandon my 1998 Waverunner that had been sitting for 10 years. He checked it out first to let me know if it was even worth saving which I appreciated. Lucky for me he said it was worth it and gave me a quote to get it going again. Which was reasonable. I took it out last weekend and it ran like a champ all weekend long. I am super stoked to have it running. Thanks Brandon, I won't be taking my ski to anyone else. read more

Rock Star Service! Brought in my 2008 RXT which had been sitting for 2 years and had a dead battery despite my best efforts to trickle charge it. Brandon changed the battery, drained the old smelly gas, did an oil change, changed out some spark plugs and add some lube where needed. I took it out on Mission Bay yesterday and it performed like a champ. I will be back. You can trust your Jet Ski with these guys - they even washed it for me when I picked it up which was a nice touch! Thanks guys you won a new customer and my referrals. read more

Super solid and straight up. Brandon was honest and did exactly what he said he would do and more. I really brought in what could have turned out to be a crazy pricey project and the did everything for a super fair price. Definitely would not take a ski anywhere else going forward...these guys the ones to go to. read more

Excellent work!!!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who needs repair work done on their ski. Or even just an annual tune up. I have taken my ski's to Brandon for a couple years now and he always does great work. He is very friendly and knowledgeable and lets you know what work needs to be done before he does it. In case you want to pick and choose what to fix due to costs. He knows jet ski's inside and out. I would definitely take your ski's here!!! read more

This is the place for used Watercraft parts. Half the cost of new. I saved over seven hundred and fifty dollars on just parts having Brandon Rebuild my Sea Doo engine. That combined with his labor rate that is almost $30 less an hr compared to the dealers. Need a jet ski fixed or a part the dealer cannot get , This Is Where To Go!! read more

Finally we found a reliable experienced mechanic that fixed our problem. We sent our skis out to Honda in Huntington Beach over three times and were charged over and over, and could not figure out the most simplest problem. Months. time and $$$$. We were recommended to OEM, aka Havsu Jet Ski Repair, we could not be happier. I would refer them to anyone that needs help. They are reasonable efficient and very knowledgeable. Thank You read more

Great place for repairs or parts. Brandon custom built my 1996 blaster as a sport spec race ski. Every time I have it out I get a few people coming up telling me how great my blaster is. He did a better them expected build. He also maintains my wife's ski and does all my repairs. Never had a bill be more than he estimated it at. This is a great trustworthy place for all watercraft repairs and parts!!!! 5 stars for sure!!! read more

Brandon is great. He loves what he does and it shows. I usually do all my own work but have been to busy so I took one of my skis to him to figure out why it wouldn't start. He was fast, honest a pleasure to deal with. His charge for parts and labor are very fair. Nice to see a business like this. Would recommend him to my own mother. He is that good. read more

I found this place because I was tired of taking my 1998 Yamaha Wave Runner to the bigger dealer places and always being told that I had several hundred dollars of repairs that must be made in order to get my wave runner working properly. I found this place on yelp and thought that I would try it out. I called and talked to the owner Brandon on the phone and after talking with him I felt very comfortable that I could trust him. He said that he would diagnose the problem free of charge and then let me know what it is and what it would cost before even working on anything. I took my wave runner in and he called me a few days later with great news. It only needed a new battery, plugs, and for the fuel to be drained since it had been sitting for a few years. Best of all, his prices were much lower than what they would charge you at FBC or another big place like that. I will never go to another place because Brandon was so honest and gave personal attention to me and my ski. I left there feeling very good about what little money I had to spend to get my wave runner back and running. I could not have been happier with my entire experience. Try him out and you will never go anywhere else again. read more
