He worked on my Parker and did a very good job. His worked ranged from adding new trim tabs to major engine repair. He did great work. Most recently I had him do work on my 60 HP Yamaha.

I was convinced this was a problem waiting to happen. James put on a new lower unit and added new gauges. I was pleased with the outcome.

Very bad experience here, paid for service and for codes to be run in my boat, Anton serviced it…read moreand ran the codes while I was out of town and immediately asked for payment, I couldn't make the payment util I returned and verified the boat had been serviced, many threatening texts from Anton, I paid 4 days after the service and at that point Anton would not give me the codes after I paid, he stopped all responses, I was afraid to write a review u til after I moved the boat in fear of retaliation, my strong advice is DO NOT GRT ANY WORK DONE HERE, go to an authorized and legitimate bait service repair like Yamaha in Newport Beach, they charged the exact same as Anton and provided receipts and record of codes. Do not waste you money or put your boat in danger going here My opinion only based on my bad experience

I've never written a review but this one got me. My boat was…read morein for regular outboard motor service and I asked them to check an inoperative fresh water pump. Jason called and said the pump was bad and needed replacement. We talked about 700$ to replace the pump. Not great but I said ok. When I got the bill the cost of replacement ended up being 1040$, almost 500$ was for diagnosis. 2 1/2 hours to find the problem. I'm pretty sure I could have put power to the pump and found the problem in 30 minutes. The part that got me is not only did Jason not offer to reduce the bill but when I asked why he didn't call me to ok the additional cost to replace it he said "If an extra 200 to 300$ is going to bother you maybe you shouldn't be in boating". That got me. Pretty condescending.

He is a bully that does not care how he negatively affects others with his rude, condescending and disrespectful behavior! Mr. Morris has no business dealing with the public and I will never return as long as he works at the Dana Point Shipyard. Mr. Morris will probably respond and lie about this, but I know the truth. My Yelp review is not Fake, and I noticed that when the Dana Point Shipyard receives negative reviews you dismiss them as Fake reviews. I have no intention of contacting you again based on the way you treated me! The number of negative reviews the business receives says it all.

When I got the boat back I had smoke from the engine bay on my first trip out 1/4 mile from harbor. Luckily sea tow and no major damage. It shifted smooth when I dropped it off, didn't shift after getting it back. Dangerous and incompetent to say the least.. ef these guys.. So i purchased an old but new to me 25' Flybridge with a 7.4L MPI mercruiser.. 30 year owner, very well cared for.. the engine shook when I bought it.. seemed like engine mounts.. I took it to Orange County outboards since they're a mercruiser shop in my area.. what a mistake.. after they rebuilt my stern drive they said just live with the shake... they said the guy I bought it from was lying.. it wasn't a reman'd engine cause it didn't have the tag (mercruiser stopped putting tags on remans) my first time having the boat back it almost burned down SERIOUSLY. Smoke from engine bay 1/4 quarter mile outside the harbor... I had to get sea towed back in.. I immediately let them know, they said they'd send techs out (their shop was full all of a sudden) and that was the last I heard of them.. Absolute garbage.. they took 4 months for 20 hours of billed work.. the work they did do was sound.. but for some reason they wouldn't fix the engine.. So next I took it to another shop, they fixed the engine mounts and the shake is gone.. amazing right!? the reputable shop also found the water pump had failed (mysteriously?) and also the shift cables that worked fine when I dropped it off were stuck when I got it back.. the new shop replaced the cables and it shifted smooth as butter again.. AVOID THIS SHOP IF YOU DONT HAVE A 35' dual engine cabin cruiser.. The mechanic at oc outboards seemed full of himself.. they also said I need to change the oil every 20 hours.. what a joke.. this is my 2nd boat, and I spend about 100 hours a year on the water and this will be my 6th season fishing socal.. I am very disappointed with them and I am considering seeking legal reparations because they almost burned my boat down do to negligence and caused damage.. We'll see.
