During the 2019 Chicago Boat show I met with the salespeople at skipper buds and considered buying…read morea demo unit they had in stock, however they did not have any photos of the boat. They talked me into making a $1000 "refundable" deposit and then drive within 2 weeks to Oshkosh WI to view and decide if I want to purchase the boat. I went to Wisconsin and was disappointed the boat was not as advertised and quite different then the new boat show model so I decided against the purchase. Till this day I have still not received a refund, which I told would be automatic if I did not move forward with the deal within 2 weeks. My latest email has enough nerve to blame me for not moving forward and states "I do not deserve a refund". That said I would advise people to be ware of doing business with skipper buds, as it's disappointing at best that such a large dealer operates in this fashion.

They seemed nice at first. Said all the right things but then came the hidden costs they neglected…read moreto mention. I stored my boat with them for the winter and asked them to check out a couple of problems I was having. Their service people couldn't figure out what was wrong. So no repair. I had also was assured before storing there that they get boats out early when the season begins. It was late May before the boat could be launched. When I brought in the boat in the fall it was clean. When I went to get some things off the boat in the spring it was filthy. There were even dirty footprints on the seats. When I complained they said they have no control over the elements and they don't wash boats. Unless you pay for that, of course. All that was after I decided to sell my boat through them. That's when more of the hidden costs came into play. They did things without asking me and then charged me for them. They have all kinds of positive sayings posted around the office acting like they approach things from a more grounded and connected standpoint. Don't fall for it.

He was knowledgeable about where exactly to go and catch our limit, which we did in less than 2 hours. Such a fun time and will definitely be going back on another one of his charters in the future.

We ended up with 2 Kings and 2 Lake trout all about 20-22 lbs. plus two smaller Steelheads. We missed a couple probably due to me not keeping enough tensionn on the initial bite. Captain Caleb and First mate Sam were super helpful, no critisim of our handling of the rod/reels, and very friendly. Felt like long time friends by the end of the charter. This is our second charter with Migrator. We went on a late morning charter 3-4 years ago with similar results.

BEWARE OF BAY MARINE! I NEVER complain as I am a small business owner for over 25 years and deal…read moredirectly with the public. I understand that mistakes happen and good businesses work to honor their word, written agreements, and protect their reputation. I only write this after exhausting all options other than the filing of a lawsuit (pending) to get a fair response from Bay Marine. Despite me sharing open information on my concerns/damages backed by a professional experienced mechanic, video, and photos, and written work agreements, they have refused to fix the damages to my vessel which are running in the $30,000 range. Dishonest service: I paid for their "concierge" launch service which was a joke as they didn't complete the scope yet refused to rebate for work they admittedly did not do. Failure to perform agreed written work orders. There is no evidence in the vessel and no evidence provided that they completed the scope of work (winterization) properly. Signficant damages resulted as I had to replace 6 air handlers, a water pump, and two thru-hull glasses that were damaged by freezing. But Matt (owner) is a gem.. he claims that the equipment was "old" and just mechanically broke down (all at once lol). oh yeah and that the antifreeze they use breaks down in 12 months and doesn't provide protection... (i stored with them for two winters but it ran just over a year in time). Can you imagine your car freezes every year even though very few people replace the antifreeze annually? no it does not nor is it rated to do that... any excuse will do other than the truth apparently. You will be pleased to know that Matt says they do all their work "perfectly"... Unapologetic breach of promises: to research the cause of damage and determine what was damaged from freezing, the owner, Matt and I agreed that i would hire a third party professional mechanic (who they have used and still use). Matt said he will rely on those results. nice, right? That mechanic has 20+ years of expertise in these matters. Said mechanic concluded (and I shared a recorded video of same with Matt) that Bay's lack of performing the hired scope of work almost certainly resulted in the signficant physically damages to my vessel while in their custody. Yet after receiving said documentation, they refuse to reimburse for repairs or further respond. They hide their insurance. Everyone ask up front for their insurance company that backs their work as they hide their insurance carrier info. and refuse to share it when there is a claim. Nice and honest approach. the game seems to be that you must file an expensive lawsuit just to get that information. Seems like a honest approach to you? List your boat for sale? and yes, I had my $500,000+ valued boat actually listed with them during this time. they were going to make money no matter what but they are apparently just too disingenuos to make things right. RUN AWAY! BTW: It is unclear on who now owns Bay Marine and whether current ownership or prior is "legally" responsible for all this. But I did also communicate with the current manager of service who refused to help in any way. and the people that "worked on my boat" are still there so BEWARE!. My material communication for resolution was with Matt (at the seeming direction of all involved over there). Matt claims to be the owner at the time of my service work but Matt says he now "owns" the Sales business. We all want a trustworthy person representing us in the sale of our property. think very carefully before listing with Matt! a few photos attached... but i have plenty more.
