We had Merrick Marine survey a 1970's full keel sailboat. They (he and his daughter) did an…read moreexcellent and thorough survey of the boat. They provided feedback and information as they went. A verbal summary after the process, and an extensive document at the end that included safety or regulatory related items that should be addressed, a list of other deficiencies and recommendations, as well as a list of notes and observations. The 39 page document included not only valuation and the aforementioned items to address, but a chart with seacock locations, purpose, and status, images of issues, and some recommendations on correcting some issues (for instance our boat uses Spartan seacocks, and Merrick provided a link to information on servicing Spartan seacocks.) While we will likely find and need to address issues as we begin our journey with this boat, I believe most issues will not be a total blindside, thanks to the comprehensive survey provided. I recommend Merrick marine for their thoroughness and their professionalism.

My parents were customers long before I was, and that kind of multi-generation loyalty doesn't happen by accident -- it happens because they consistently show up, care, and do right by people. Every single visit reminds us why we keep coming back. They're knowledgeable, fair, and genuinely proactive about keeping our boat in great shape. Whether it's routine maintenance, a surprise issue, or just a question we're trying to sort out, they take the time to explain things clearly and make sure we're taken care of. We never feel rushed or talked down to -- just supported. Huge thanks to Jeff, Dan, Wendell, and Jenny. Each of them brings something special to the experience: professionalism, warmth, and that rare "we've got you" attitude that makes all the difference. You can tell they take real pride in their work and in the relationships they build with customers. If you're looking for a marine team you can trust for the long haul -- the kind that remembers you, stands behind their work, and treats you like more than a number -- Bayside Marine is it. We're grateful for them and wouldn't go anywhere else.

I took the engine to Performance Marine who conducted a very thorough inspection of the engine and recommended I get a tune-up and service the water pump as well as fixing the tiller cable. I also had one transom bolt that was stripped and they replaced that as well. This engine is a workhorse and I have had it for decades with no issues. It is reassuring to know it has now been professionally inspected and tuned up. I will probably get many more years out of it. Ironically, after I picked up the engine from Performance Marine, it was literally a YEAR before I put her in the water. When I finally did, I was nervous (and a bit embarrassed) that I had never tested it after the repairs. To my delight, she fired up on the second pull! A fine day ensued crabbing and sight-seeing on Dungeness Bay in Sequim.

Visited the Seattle area on business and had one free day to do something fun. We called several…read morecaptains who already had weekend trips booked and one of the companies we called suggested that we try Captain Craig. We're glad we did! We decided to fish for Ling Cod as it was too early in the season to fish for Salmon. The Seattle weather was not very cooperative, however Captain Craig did everything we might have hoped for to make the best of the situation and come home with fish. We began by fishing for flounder to be used as bait. The poles were already rigged and in great shape. The Captain told us the goal was to catch 12 six to ten inch fish, and that's exactly what we did. While in route to the fishing grounds the captain pointed out two blue whales that were playing off the port side of the vessel. While he was careful not to disturb the whales, he did stop the boat and drifted for a while as we took advantage of the photo opps presented by this unplanned surprise. While the whales were in sight,the captain sounded more like a professional tour boat guide than like a fishing charter captain, so we felt like this was a big bonus. On to the Ling Cod grounds and then came the wind and the rain. Wearing our foul weather gear we did our best to outlast the storm, as we were determined to catch at least one Ling Cod before we would retreat to dry quarters! At last, a fish was on, and soon it would be filleted and traveling to the east coast. With gel packs. Dispute the weather we had a wonderful time, fishing and laughing and surviving seattle weather. To avoid disappointment, you should not expect a well polished professional commercial fish company. Fishing with Captain Craig is more like having a friend from another life who takes you out fishing. The Captain has all the knowledge and experience needed. He knows the right spots and understands the how to take advantage of the tides.The best way to describe the vessel, Gratitude, and it's amenities is to say its a classic and it's what you might expect from a guy with a boat in a fishing village. If you're expecting a sixty foot Viking and a captain with a couple of mates and to take photos of accommodations to impress your friend, then this is not the place to go. But if you're looking for a guy with a nice side boat ((about 38 feet) who knows what to o and where to o to catch fish, who charges a reasonable rate, then look no further. You'll have gratitude that you fished with Captain Criag on the Gratitude. The bottom line, the price was right, we caught a nice fish, had a great time, and look forward to returning when the salmon season opens.
