We just bought a 30-foot sailboat, a 2002 Hunter 306, from Specialty Yachts, and Darren was the…read moreagent we had worked with. From the first contact to date, even after weeks after acquiring our new boat, Darren has been so helpful in many ways. He educated us about our new vessel, including what we should be watchful for. He lined up for a mechanical inspector and a surveyor. He helped us to get a dodger and a bimini put on and he was there at 7am in the morning on the day I sailed her away to our slip in Blaine. Darren is extremely knowledgeable about the boats, the surrounding cruising areas, and boat mechanics, but the most importantly, he is very willing to provide the best experience he can acquiring a boat, this was the real value for us. After working with him through this transaction, we will not sell or buy another boat without involving Darren at Specialty Yachts !!!

I like to do most of my own boat repairs, but for major stuff I want to do it somewhere I can…read moretrust. A place where I can get a great exchange rate north of the border, have great value on parts and certified help when needed. Last time it was across from downtown Vancouver at the Creek's Boatyard. I needed some prop work, a weld done, tuning and major rigging work done. With no fuss or hassles they bounced right on it. They gave me a quote for the work and (no surprises) met their price and they did the work rather quickly. I keep my boat in La Conner, but when I have serious work to do, I will go up to Vancouver's Creek Marina & Boatyard. It's well worth the trip. Good people are found there.

I was in the process of rebuilding my Yanmar fuel injectors, and dropped by for some parts...with great trepidation after all my other negative experiences here. What a welcome change! I had my parts, and was out the door back to my boat, within a few minutes. Their mechanics are the best on the west coast, and barring any changes to the counter staff, the service counter is now staffed by very knowledgeable, and kindly people. Really first rate!

Super service: As my Espar unit was so old, replacement parts were going to be a problem ... Jake had the answer here as well: PYS stocks old inventory/used (from another job). Best of all, as there was no warranty and I was able to pick-up the 'used' thermostat at PYS, they supplied the part for free. Now that is old-school customer service. Very much appreciated; I can recommend PYS (and Jake) extremely highly.
