A few years ago they sold us a boat that was not at all appropriate for the SF Bay waters and they overcharged us. (I later found a price sticker on the boat with a lower price). We were neophytes at the time. Live and learn! One reason that I go back is that they are the only Boston Whaler (a great boat) dealer in town.

Zack is not as experienced but what he didn't know he had the resources to figure it out. I would recommend Zach. He's honest and cares about doing it right and at a reasonable price. I will continue to use Zach. He's also a great guy. The one thing that I didn't like was having to buy the needed parts rather than them buying what's needed and billing me with a 15% markup. That really is a pain. I don't know where to buy engine parts, water pumps, impellers or a new smart connector for a 50 amp shore cord etc. To be honest I just don't want to be bothered with it. Just fix it and bill me please.

What everyone says is absolutely true!…read more Chuck's Marine has been a staple in the Bay Area for decades, earning a stellar reputation for value, quality, and meticulous attention to detail. After hearing so many great things, I finally decided to have my 2001 Catalina 380 serviced by Chuck -- Damn! Why did I wait so long?. Chuck had previously worked on my boat, and it was clear from the moment he opened the engine compartment that he knew it inside and out. Dates of previous service, repairs, and replacements were clearly marked in Sharpie across the engine, transmission, and other components -- demonstrating his thoroughness and memory of the boat's history. During the service, Chuck was able to recall all past repairs and nuances the boat had experienced, which gave me great confidence. He spent the entire day performing a comprehensive service, including oil, fuel, transmission, and water filter changes, water pump repairs, alternator electrical checks, and thorough inspections of the transmission cable and steering quadrant. We also created a detailed list of everything that had been completed, as well as future recommendations for the boat. Before starting, Chuck was upfront about options for where and when he could work on the boat, as well as clear about costs and parts. This level of transparency and professionalism is exactly what every mechanic should strive for. I'm now officially a regular on Chuck's annual maintenance list and highly recommend his services to anyone in the Bay Area!
