Don't waste your time and your money. They did a bottom paint on my 50 foot boat Less than a year my diver told it is peeling off badly, took the boat back to Jessie and he blame it on the how the diver clean it and asked to pay again at cost $1800 to touch it up. Recently took the boat out of the water for a marine survey and of course the bottom paint is so bad that includes air bubbles on all the metal with no primer and the entire work needs to be redone. Not only I paid him again to cover his own work yet was not done right. Of course I had to deal with Jessie's attitude and him pointing finger at the diver which he has 20 plus year of experience of cleaning boats. Avoid this place read more

These guys are awesome. I called Newport Harbor Shipyard on Monday as I had a leaking port side shaft seal, and needed to get it replaced prior to a long haul down to Cabo. I spoke with Jesse who immediately told me that he could take me in the next day and would jump on the repair ASAP. Well, ASAP really meant ASAP! I dropped the boat off yesterday around 11am, and Jesse called me today around 4pm to let me know that the new shaft seal was in and that the boat was already back in the water! I am beyond surprised and pleased at how quickly they were able to help me out. Jesse could not have been more kind and friendly and he could not have made the entire experience easier or any better from my perspective. I would HIGHLY recommend Newport Harbor Shipyard and be sure to say hello to Jesse and let him know that you read my review on Yelp! These guys 100% deserve 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!! Thank you!!! read more

Disinterested, dismissive, inattentive. . Although I communicated multiple times regarding haulout of 28ft sail, and date set by boatyard, boat was still in water a week later. Seems they prefer to service big power boats, which is fine. SAY SO! Don't waste my time. Manager sounds like he just woke up. Went to different boatyard and reception was completely different. Helpful, communicative, with prompt cursory on board inspection. Fantastic! read more

We took our boat in for service and bottom paint. these guys got us out and back in the water quick. We had a small leak for months that I couldn't find and they found it and fixed it. Best boat yard in Newport Beach, these guys are the real deal! read more

I brought my beautiful Bavaria 42 sailboat in for bottom paint To Jesse at Newport Shipyard on a Monday as they asked, my boat sat for a week till they got to it. They did the bottom paint & I picked up the boat. The top deck looked really dirty, I tried to wash it off & it was stained really bad with yard stuff of some kind. So I went back & they used ammonia & Ajax . When the deck dried, it looked like he used stripper on the teak deck. I told them about it & they denied & made false accusations that my deck was old. He offered me $300. I told him to keep it. It was all my fault for going their. Don't you make the same mistake. Alex read more

Had a bad experience also here, the dude Kyle had horrible customer service and didn't seem he wanted to troubleshoot anything...might have caught him at a bad but would refer anyone here...on the other hand the guy that took my boat in, think his name was Kyle maybe, was awesome...even helped me back my boat in as embarrassing as that sounds read more

The guys at Newport Harbor shipyard are top notch. From start to finish they did incredible work. Had to have my bow completely re-fiberglassed and after finishing you can't even tell there was any prior damage. Would recommend Jesse for any of your shipyard needs. They get the job done. Extremely happy and satisfied. Thank you for all of your hard work!!! read more

This place is really great. They do a terrific job and they have forgotten more about boats than most people ever knew (a good thing).

stay far away. Jessie lied directly to my face about work that hadn't been completed. Lied about ordering parts for months. kept my boat out of the water for 9 months when we put it back had same leak that it went in for. if you go get a signed estimate or lookout. read more

this is a great shipyard. the crew are friendly, helpful and todd the manager is very knowledgeable. i can tell you they did twice as much work to my 40' yacht, sanding acid washing and 2 coats of bottom paint for $500.00 less than the shipyard i have used for years in seal beach. the did some additional service for me that they showed me was needed and they even allowed me to do some repairs of my own. i really like this place. jesse the owner was happy to just sit and discuss boats with me. i will certainly be back for my future haulouts ron grosman, oceandaze read more

I kept my boat in the dry stack marina for two years at $1100/mo. The worst customer service you can imagine. Their written agreement says they will wash the boat sides and take out the bilge plug when they take the boat out of the water. Seems simple enough. Every time they took my boat out they didn't do sh-t. Many times the bilge plug was still in the boat and everything was covered in mold when I took it out next time I tried asking the ground crew to be sure to do it. I tried tipping them to do it. I tried talking to the manager Jessi to do it. Never got done. I accidently left $400 of champagne on the dock one night when we took the boat out. Two hours when I got back....nobody knew where it went. My boat was scratch badly several times by the staff. They agreed to fix it and never did. When I had my gel oat guy work on it at the marina for three days and then gave jessi the $ 1500 bill he cried like a baby that i should have gotten him an estimate before the work was done. He watched the guy do the work for three days then bitched. In the end I had to have a yelling match to get the cheap pr--k to part with $500. This lack of professionalism seems to be standard operating procedure over there. The overspray and grinding dust from the marina work yard covered my boat with film of grit too..... Other then that....the place was convenient....lol. read more

I used the Bellport Newport Harbor Shipyard for bottom painting. I also had an outside mechanic perform some other work while my boat was out of the water. I found the shipyard's pricing to be very reasonable and I received great service from Jessie (the owner), Jim and Chris. I would definitely use this shipyard again. read more
