I hate buying large ticket items with all the pressure and risk involved. Darren Lamont at NW…read moreInboards made buying a boat an amazing experience. NO PRESSURE. Calm and relaxed -- he made sure he new what we wanted, telling us the first time we came to see him that the boat we were interested in was not for us. "I'll call you when I get something here that you want," he told us. A month later we drove home with exactly what our family hoped for. When the boat for us showed up Darren answered any questions we had. He speaks with few words and doesn't embellish or pretend to know everything about everything. What I'm saying is that you can tell he's telling the truth. On our test drive we had a small problem that Darren quickly diagnosed with a ballast tank. When we arrived back at the shop he sent us out for lunch while he fixed the problem. With the problem fixed Darren sent us home saying, "You're going to love this boat. Call me if you need anything."

Darren, Zac and Paul were the best. I'm new into boating, but they had a used boat that fit my…read morefamily's needs. Darren and I shared a few emails and texts, and settled on a price without a bunch of back/forth or games. Before buying from NW Inboards, I shopped at two other dealers who were no where near as straight-forward. At pick up, Darren set the pace according to mine -- however much time I needed was good by Darren. Zac quickly helped me get squared away with the new boat and Paul answered my random mechanical questions. The guys were a great team, professional and super passionate about boating. I learned a bunch from them and I'm 110% happy with the purchase experience. Best of all, my family is thrilled with our new boat from NW Inboards!

I can't say enough great things about Parker at Seattle Boat! He stayed in touch with me for over…read moretwo years--never pushy, always patient--and when the time was right, he helped me find the perfect Cobalt. Not only did he answer every one of my (many!) questions along the way, but he also personally arranged delivery from Seattle to Lake Chelan, directly to my boat slip, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Parker truly went above and beyond, and I'm so grateful for his professionalism, dedication, and genuine care throughout the process. If you're looking for someone who really puts the customer first, Parker is your guy!

I would be cautious when dealing with this company for a few reasons. We were looking at a used…read moreboat with them. The price was negotiated before we looked at it with the caveat that the boat was in good condition. They also signed a letter of intent on price with a new trailer vs. using one they had there. Experience when we got there to test drive was great and kid that took us out on the water was super nice. However when we pulled the boat out to look at the hull (when they said boat was in good condition), the entire outdrive was very chewed up (more than just the skeg itself). Parker who was the salesman kind of just dismissed us saying we couldn't make a deal that day (for various reasons) and went back on the letter of intent price we had in writing for both the boat (couple hundred bucks difference) and the new trailer price (couple thousand dollars difference). He said he would call the next morning and never did. Something must have happened with him going back on what he personally wrote in writing vs. what he said that day however having multiple dishonest practices is enough for me to not do business with them.

Let me start off by saying that the effort in the sales department by Nick Bod and Eric was…read moreamazing. I would give these guys a A+ for effort to start. I purchased our brand spanking new VR4 from the Fife location in 2023. Buying the boat was the easy and painless part, now for the hard pill to swallow. The service department I totally and completely give a F conservatively. It completely feels like you buy the boat and then the customer service goes right out the window. The service department completely needs an overhaul it self. I figured that after spending the money I did with them on the purchase of the new bayliner, one would be more willing to do what it takes to keep the customer happy and coming back. For the past 2 and a half years, that has been not the case. I had to have several things fixed on our brand new boat, which was like asking the service department for their next of kin, and then then to be told that its fixed, when that wasn't the case. I have literally had to hound them consistently every year to fix the one main issue that was found on the day we bought the boat, which mind you, still has never been fixed to this day, to only now hear, "sorry, that's not under warranty anymore. Hummmm, well guess what, if it was actually fixed while it was under warranty, we wouldn't be writing this review. I feel that they will not be truthful and pack you full of sand to make you go away till your warranty expires just so that they can rake more money from you later. As I also feel they were very vague opportunist when it comes to winterizing and de-winterizing our boat. I haven't been a boat owner for long but was paying for what I thought was at least an oil change during the de-winterizing as I was told that its part of the process, to only find out on this last visit, that it was not the case, and has not been done since day 1. Well that would have been a very important thing to know back then. This is a terrible way to do business and should not be allowed, and how the owner could be okay with this, would be an embarrassment if it was my company. This establishment, I fell sorry for the operator, she's sounds over worked when no one will answer the phone, and scheduling anything is like asking the federal government for a personal loan. It never happens since no one will answer your call. And then their timelines to get your property back, we'll let just say, hope you didn't want to go boating anytime time soon, unless your riding their ass to get your boat back. And then, god forbid if you actually get a call from them letting you know that your boat is ready for pick up. I had to actually call and find out towards the end of day the status of my boat, and then to be told, "oh ya, it's been done waiting for you to pick up." LOL. ummm okay, I guess you have to be a physic to know when your boat is ready since they won't have the common courtesy to even take 2 minutes of their time to call. Who would have even thought. Do not work with this service department, Corey mostly. You'll never get the outcome your looking for when it comes to the customer service. There obviously is no standards for this department. There are plenty of very qualified mobile boat mechanics and also a very reputable place in Kent that would be more open to questions and concerns then Union Marine in Fife. I can not and would not recommend this location to purchase and maintain a new or used boat from. As a pilot, I believe and have high standards especially for safety and honesty, and Union Marine in Fife does not have any of those qualities. I don't like leaving a bad review for anyone, but when it comes to safety and honesty, that is where I feel that everyone should be warned and aware of.

Beware of these folks! I ordered a Raider Voyager 2484 with a Honda BF250 a few years back, all…read morewent well enough, the boat was delivered on time and as ordered. I used the boat a few times and noticed cavitation on turns and in following seas. I examined the cavitation plate relationship to the bottom of the boat and it looked 4 inches to high, I took pictures and showed them to the service manager and sales staff, they dismissed it and said the installation was proper and pretty much said there is nothing they would do. I had trips planned and fishing to do so I used the boat as it was as under most conditions it was fine and performed well. The BF 250 will basically shut down as a self protection function if it senses over rev or cavitation. I had a qualified Honda service tech look at it the other day and he said the installation was not correct and it should have had a 30 inch lower unit not a 25. The modification will cost me $3800 but I am willing to pay it in order to have a safe boat in following seas. I suggest buying your boat elsewhere!

Our objective was to see how often and how we would use a boat. After a season, we decided to buy a Cobalt boat. We had stayed in touch with Shane over the last year. Once we decided it was time to move forward, he worked with us to build the boat we wanted. The team at SBC has made it an easy transaction. We just received our new R6 Surf. From Shane in Sales to Tony at SkyLaunch and Tommy the Delivery Captain it has been a great experience. Tommy sent me a library of videos to review prior to delivery and then did the on water boat orientation and walk through. He took me through all the systems and how they worked. In general, SBC sells and services high-end boats. They provide a concierge type experience. There are always staff around to answer questions and help you with any issues. They are definitely a higher-end dealer and it is not the low cost place. However, they provide the service and facilities that goes along with the price. Highly recommended.
