    Summer Tubing Action
    Pete A.

    Hands down the best! This is the only place I will take my Yamaha jet boat to get work done. After having a horrible experience with another shop, I found the ski clinic and they rebuilt my motor and saved my family boat! Now it runs great and we have been having a perfect summer!

    The Apex : want to buy this bad ass 1 of 5 custom Apex jet skis -  send me a message on Instagram ericlawson73

    Derek Jr built an amazing custom stand up ski haul that I purchased called The Apex and Derek Sr did a super awesome job of dialing in the motor, carbs, etc. for me so I walked away with bad ass tricked out custom stand up ski. Their service was excellent, communication excellent, and pricing very fair. If you need someone to take care of you and your Jet Ski addiction, look no further than The Ski Clinic. Thanks Sr. & Jr !!!!!

    I was shoppinng around different jet ski shops to have my waveblaster 1 project ski done. Derrick gave me a deal i could not resist. From the day I brought my jet ski in. The project keeps on getting progress everytime i come in to visit. This family owned business is very amazing. People are friendly and very approchable. I will definitely have my 2nd project done by them again. Keep up the good work guys. Long live!

    Bring your ski in nice and early! They're never short of business

    Customer service at its best ! I can't thank Derrick and Taunia enough for taking care of our ski. We brought it to them in pretty bad shape, the previous owner didn't take much care of it and it wasn't too far from heading to the scrap heap. The bf has been setting up a laundry list of build items for our 2005 Seadoo RXT (he's fairly particular when it comes to toys) and when we brought it to Derrick he was able to deliver on all aspects. Derrick is extremely familiar with watercrafts (including anything with a motor). The build took some time but it was well worth it, it was pretty much a full rebuild and during the process Derrick was there and able to answer all of our questions at any time of the day, it was almost like he didn't have 30+ other watercrafts waiting in the lot. I can't emphasize enough the service that Ski Clinic offers, they're amazingly detailed, friendly and willing to give their honest input and work with you on your build. Their work is bar none and the craftsmanship is hard to find elsewhere. I'm glad they stay so busy and more than happy to make the long commute to bring our ski to them. Super cool people doing great work. Thanks guys for the great service and for getting us back on the water ! See you on the next check up!

    They are only nice until they get your money. Then when you're left with multiple problems good luck getting them to warranty their work.

    What was once a worthwhile club appears to be in clear decline. From my direct experience, the…read morewarning signs are hard to ignore: management turnover, frustrated employees, and ownership that no longer seems willing to invest in the club's future. Prospective buyers should look closely before committing. The fleet is now made up of aging boats, roughly 4-6 years old, and the wear is evident. Inventory has reportedly been reduced from 9 boats to 5, including only 2 surf boats, while pricing remains unchanged. At the same time, members are being asked to move to an "unlimited bookings" model that still limits usage to no more than 3 bookings per month!!! Last season alone, boats experienced issues ranging from failed ballast pumps and broken amps to damaged railings and inconsistent availability. Yet despite reduced inventory, aging equipment, and declining service levels, ownership appears intent on maintaining the same pricing without meaningful reinvestment. Anyone considering joining should do their homework, verify the facts independently, and speak with former members. Membership has reportedly fallen from 42 to 17 and continues to trend downward. That kind of decline does not happen without reason.

Instructions were provided concisely in an easy to understand format for new drivers. We rented a Chaparral for 4 hours on Labor Day and it couldn't have gone smoother.

Definitely recommend Berryessa Water Sports and will see them again soon!

Worth every single penny! You may think what they charge is expensive but try and rent a Atv or Utv from the businesses in Pismo and you'll realize how reasonable their prices are. The best part is you have it for as long as you want. No, oh shit I gotta have the rental back in 10 mins nonsense. Most of the ATVs and UTVs you rent on the beach are beat up, rusted and in horrible shape; hours of abuse from inexperienced riders and salt water take a toll on the equipment and it shows. I know because we do yearly trips to Pismo and I've always rented from Arnie's or Steves ATV. Not to knock them because they are friendly people, but their equipment just sucks. ‍ I picked up OCRVs CanAm and it was flawless!Clean, and ready to rip. I also walked around their place and saw that the rest of their rentals. They're all updated and clean. Not like the other places TBH. I will definitely come back here EVERY SINGLE YEAR from now on. Keep up the amazing work and awesome customer service. Me, my family and friends will definitely be back soon! You guys f***kin rock!

    BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!…read more I'm concerned that this company generates More revenue from charging people for damage, than actual rental services. There was superficial aesthetic scratches as you can see in the photo. We were told, that these tiny scratches are worth 25% of the entire cost of the part ($1400). Do you think these scratches justify 25%? In reality, it's more like 0.1% of the cost. --so how many customers will they do this to? 10? And reap a 250% return on this part? -HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. I'm all for paying for damages but this is ridiculous. The money maker is charging customers for cumulative replacements. You're NOT SUPPOSE TO PROFIT OFF DAMAGE CHARGES. Or is that the entire point of this business? If you've been ripped off by this business, please reach out, as we may be interested in class action litigation.

He then tried to put in a rebuilt part vs a new one without asking us what we wanted to do he did work without getting our approval. Then he had the nerve to get angered with us when we told him it was illegal to do work on any automotive vessel without customer approval. He then refused to do any more work, stopped replying to calls and texts, and left our boat taken apart. They never provided us with any invoice or any receipts to show us what they actually did, I think because they never did anything at all and were just trying to take our money. We had to bring it elsewhere to get fixed and it costs us over twice as much as it should have because of the incompetence and unethical business practices done by the Chandlery. We found pieces of the boat that should have been reattached sitting in the cup holders. The boat was left in shambles complete a mess dirty (shoe prints all over the seats) and not put back together. I think they saw 2 younger people and thought they could scam us. There's a reason they aren't accredited by the better business bureau. I'm now looking into small claims court.

During an annual fluid change preformed by the Chandlery, they did not install the oil filter properly, causing 6 liters of oil dumped in the hull of my boat. They apologized and said they would make it right, clean all the oil out and make it new again. Unfortunately after having the boat in their possession for two weeks, and multiple opportunities they were not able to clean all the oil. They tried and said it was the best that they could do, but they simply did not have the equipment or knowhow to clean the oil out. So I requested that we go to a 3rd party to clean the boat, they said fine and I would let them know the cost. I took the boat to a professional boat shop and luckily they were able to get it clean. It cost me over $500 and the Chandlery will not pay for it, saying they could have had it done by their vendor for cheaper. Weird thing is they never even offered. Not only was I over charged for the oil change, the Chandlery will not reimburse me for the clean out. Honestly, I was not upset with the mistake. I gave the Chandlery plenty of patience and opportunity, it is just sad that they will not make it right...and rude about it too. Stay away!

They said no problem bring them in . They were up & running within a timely manner. Took them to the river this weekend & they both ran great like new.

I did receive a call from Nathan about my jet skis and he was able to thoroughly provide a status and clearly explained what he found. My main concern was the switch, he tested the switch and the relay and everything was good. He told me how to rectify the problem and did not recommend changing any parts. I asked about replacing with new parts and he told me it would function the same. I appreciated his honesty and was pleased he did not take advantage of an opportunity to make more money! The customer service was outstanding! I talked to both Nathan and Marina and they both were nice and pleasant. When I arrived they both greeted me and helped me unhook my trailer. When I came to pick up my jet skis, Nathan showed me my old parts and explained what was done. Marina took my payment and they both assisted with hooking up my trailer. I definitely will be back to winterize and service my jet skis. Great job Nathan and Marina!

I'd say Jason is a normal person and easy to talk to but he is completely unorganized and unprofessional as a business person and I have no clue how he stays in business. Good luck reaching him on his business line as he almost never answers it and the voice mail was always full when I called it. The few times he did call me it was always from other numbers, a couple times my caller ID for the number showed a woman's name but luckily I still picked up to hear his latest excuses. In my first experience I could never reach anyone when I'd call the business line during business hours. But his shop is really close to my house so I just drove over one day and there he was. I needed the family boat looked at, he told me to come back in a week and drop my boat off first thing in the morning on a Wednesday. I showed up right at the appointment time he set, 9am when they open but Jason was nowhere in sight. I tried to call him but he was obviously not there yet. Sent a text to the woman's phone but he never responded. So I waited... he ended up showing up somewhere between and hour and hour and a half after start if business. Bad sign but I know shit happens. He seemed really excited to get me "Back on the water" as it was still prime summertime in the middle of July. I left my boat and he inspected it that day. I think his assessment was likely correct. He charged me around $300 for the inspection but told me he would hook me up on the actual repair. Parts needed to be ordered. I agreed. He acted super weird about ordering parts telling me that I better show up for service and not leave him with these parts. I offered a deposit and he passed saying that I seemed like a trustworthy person. At this point I would receive almost no communication or updates from Jason. I had to basically drive to his shop once a week and hope to catch him. It took around a month for him to get parts. Occasionally he couldn't remember who I was and had to go through his hand written notes to find my information, no computer. Once parts were in he told me he couldn't do the job by himself and was waiting for his one staff member to start coming back to work. Lots of excuses. He did finally text me one time in late September and said his guy should be coming back soon and he could do the job in a couple weeks. I asked for a set date and he responded probably in November. On October 31st I asked him for an update but he never followed up. On November 1st I asked again, no response. Keep in mind he had my contact information regardless of whose phone he was using. I got sick of showing up to his shop randomly just to hear excuses. So for about 6 months he got nothing done. When he first inspected my boat he took apart several parts and left them on the floor of my boat. I asked if he forgot to put them back and he said don't worry I'll have it all fixed soon. Parts are still not where they belong. At the end of the day Jason is a poor businessman and does not communicate with his customers. He left me high and dry and now I'm forced to go somewhere else and pay all over again for an inspection fee and still have not had any work completed. Bums like this do not deserve your business. I advise to avoid. Being charged an inspection fee and pushing off repair for half a year is basically stealing from customers. Time is valuable and this man wasted mine without cause or concern.

His answer was you're not turning it correctly. A huge 4-seater Jet ski shouldn't flip over while only driving 5 miles per hour. Who knows what he did to it. He also mentioned if anyone tries to sue him, Ultimate Motor Sports has full time lawyers that are his family members. Who knows how many people he's done this to. Last year he had so many bad reviews (including mine) that he somehow got removed. That's why all you see is the same 8 good reviews. Must be the lawyer thing he refers to. Jason and Ultimate Water Sports will definitely put you and your loved ones in danger by working on your water sports. Beware and be safe!
