Overall great experience with this team! Cooperation value communication all good will definitely use their services again

I was truly impressed with John and his Team at Sunset Aquatic Shipyard. I had a small 18ft boat hauled out for a couple of weeks for some light service and a detail but I felt like I got the same great customer service as the owner of the 51 footer getting bottom painted in the yard. I really appreciated their patience answering all my rookie questions and taking the time with me. I recommend them highly and also thought the price was fair. read more

I just had my Uniflite 36 pulled for bottom paint and blister repairs. Sunset did a great job. Accommodated my schedule and made the process easy. On time and at the quoted budget. John, the yard manager was super easy to work with. He even made it easy for my painter to give the hull a new coat. I'd use Sunset again (this is the second time) and would recommend them. read more

I have been in a boat yard setting all my life (18 years old and I'm 59 now that close to 40 years This is my first expired ce with them what stands out to me is the people I met the new foreman, the counter lady and a few workers they a nice people there helpful, calm and helpful They made me feel welcome read more

I've had the experience of two DIY shipyards so far, and Sunset by a huge margin is the better place to haul out your boat if you want to do the work yourself and have the time and space to do it right. Although the manager was strict with me regarding sanding and the overall mess I made, it was for the benefit of all boat owners and he was reasonable. This became apparent recently when I brought a new sailboat to another shipyard due to not wanting to bring the mast down to get it under the bridge for a stay at Sunset. My experience with the other yard made Sunset Aquatic seem like a ten out of ten in comparison. There are limited places to work on your own boat now, so if you can handle the 2 month minimum stay at Sunset, it's likely the best place to put your boat. Over all, not perfect, but fair to be sure if you just need a place to work. read more

A truly exceptional yard for folks looking for fair prices, honesty, and the ability to do some of the work yourself. From the first phone call to the launch, I was quite pleased with the experience. Jon (yard manager) was quick to assist with anything I needed and offered great advice throughout my stay. He is an incredibly knowledgeable guy and very respectful of your vessel. Sarah and Shiho in the office were a delight, as well as the guys in the yard....Joel, Derek, Brett, Kenneth, Charlie, just to name a few. Everyone here wants to insure the customer is taken care of and taken care of right. Highly recommend this yard for all types of owners and their vessels. Bravo Sunset Aquatic!! read more

Sunset Aquatic Marina is the only place I will take my boat. I have tried other shipyards and I always got ripped off. Sunset Aquatic does what they say that they will do, and they do it well, and for about what they say that it will cost. I just took my boat there for the 4th time for hull painting and some other maintenance, and I am completely satisfied with the service, the work, and the bill. These guys know what they are doing. One of the problems with boats and shipyards is that often people bring their old rustbuckets to the shipyard, and then they are mad when the shipyard finds a lot of stuff wrong with their boat that they did not anticipate. This is boating. I have found that Sunset is efficient, honest, and does good work for a fair price. Other places have variously billed for work that they did not do, treat my boat like crap, etc. Sunset does what they say they will do, they do it well, they treat your boat with respect, and at the end of the process they CLEAN THE BOAT and give it back to you in pristine condition. Count me satisfied. read more

I've used four different shipyards over a 15 year time span. Some are mediocre, while others are downright crooked. Carl and his team at Sunset are honest and easy to work with. Highly recommend... read more

A big thank you to Carl and John and crew for the excellent services rendered as a 50 year boat owner it is very comforting and satisfying to find a yard that exhibits to professionalism that the sunset aquatic boat yard does I found the difficult task an everyday experience if you expect the impossible it can be done but it takes a little longer. Thanks again for a job well done read more

Took My boat to Sunset to get the bottom painted. I was told it would be up to 2 weeks because of the weather. I was also given a price in writing. 2 weeks went by and I went to check on my boat. Weather had been dry. They hadn't started working on it. Week 6 the boat is finally done. I went to pay and the bill was $200 more than my written estimate. The actual work was very satisfactory. read more

went there with a simple request, let me work on my boat which is on a trailer and stored a few feet away in dry storage.Noticed there was tons of room.and I could be done in a day or two.Karl said no, I have to rent space for a month. That is the definition of a curmudgeon.I have gone there on other occasions for other things and the result is always negative. That is a pitiful way to live Armen Bagdasarian read more

Well I paid this bucket shop a lot of money to basically ruin my boat. They took months to complete the distruction and then washed their hand of any responsibility. This is like stopping at the taco truck in Mexico, Yea it's convenient and all, looks really good , but it will make you sick as hell. read more

Typically people only write comments on here when they are unhappy. I wanted to change that. I recently had my boat in for bottom paint, blister repair, windless fix and new zincs. Carl greeted me at the dock and was very professional. We set a completion date and they made sure it was ready on time. Very easy process, very professional and they did a great job. I would definitely recommend this shipyard. read more

repairs cost me an arm n a leg!! job was done as promised with decent warranty.
