Do not use Ocean Pursuits!!…read more Horrible experience at this yard. They overcharge and nickle and dime you to death. First, they wouldn't let me bring in a 3rd party to shrinkwrap my boat which is understandable. But then they charged me nearly the cost of winter storage to do it! Then in the spring they charged me again to take away the plastic! Now the worst of it. I requested an estimate to have my mast and boom painted. I received an estimate of $3,100-$3,500 in writing (which took 3 months to get). I gave the go ahead and let them know that it was barely in my budget. Without any notice, I got invoices totaling $9,000! When I called to ask about this they tried to justify it with man-hours worked and materials. I got threatened that my boat would be held until what was due was paid in full! This is why I asked for an estimate! I understand that their are sometimes extras when you get into it, but a good boat yard will hit their estimate or be very close to it. Do not use Ocean Pursuits. I should have done diligence and asked around about them first. I have since learned that this is how they always do business.

I contacted him on 9/8/24 and he got right back to me with what might be wrong and what he could do…read moreto fix it. He had all but one part on hand and would order that to be in in about a week. Two weeks later and I hadn't heard back from him so I texted for an update with no response. Again the following week I texted for an update and again no response. On 10/2/24 I again texted and said that I would give him until 5 pm today 10/4/24 to get back to me or I would be giving him an unfavorable review. I even called at 4:35pm and could only leave a voicemail. And still no response. Should you contact him good luck.

Explained everything that was going on, gave me options on repairs and pricing, and finished quickly! Very polite and cleaned up the entire area before leaving. The price? FANTASTIC. As I was an out of towner and desperate to have the repair to be able to drive all the way home, I was worried that this visit (especially a mobile visit) was going to cost a small fortune. His price was completely reasonable and a pleasant surprise! I drove over 10 hours home with NO ISSUES.
