Karl's boat prep is second to none. If you are absorbed in sailing and are managing a program in…read moreone design, there is no better shop to go to for boat prep. Period end of story. Maybe Easom's in California, but he is less one design and more big boat. Udell down in New Jersey was good for awhile but isn't doing it anymore to my knowledge. There may be a few others but not nearly on the level as Karl. He also knows where to stop down in Lauderdale at 2 AM for entertainment on the way down to midwinters in Miami. Yeah that was awhile ago but loads of fun. Do yourself a favor and use Karl, it's money very, very well spent.

10/10 would recommend for boat rental!…read more After seeing some pretty worrisome reviews on Google and Yelp for other powerboat rental businesses in the area, I found Ship Shops and chose them due to their fantastic reviews and simple rental process. Judson went above and beyond to ensure that we would have a great day - explaining the maps of the area, and talking to us over the phone when we needed some help dropping the anchor. We come to the Cape every summer and will definitely be returning to Ship Shops next year to do it again!

Marty and his crew repowered my Key West 17' CC with a Suzuki DF90A. The price was good and Marty…read morewas able to diagnose some follow on issues, being able to water tests easily at his shop. During the overhaul issues were found in the console with strength of the steering mount and in the fuel tank sender and pickup. They added an aluminum plate to help the steering and got the fuel system working well. Boat runs like a new boat, turn key and go. The boat was designed for a 2 smoke and the added 100lb weight of a 4 stroke caused some on the mooring problems with deck drainage. Marty suggested we replace the bilge hatch with a more waterproof one and put a little ballast in the front of the boat and that worked fine. Marty showed me a boat at the dock that was just delivered and asked how much I thought it cost. I guessed 800k and he said 1.4 million. I think the repower work on little 17 footers may be a charity for us regular folks.

My family and I rented a boat from Nauset Marine and had a perfect day. We were booked to have gone…read moreout on a less than nice day and they happily re-booked us for a few days later. On our day out, the staff could not have been more helpful. We checked in very easily, got a thorough yet quick tutorial about the boat, and were on our way. They did not charge us for fuel, or wrapped it into the rental fee, so that what what we paid was what we got. The 19' Boston Whaler Montauk with GPS was great! It was a perfect day with no surprises. We look forward to renting from them again.

Our boat had barnacles on the bottom and had not been bottom painted so it was a tough, multistep job. David was so knowledgeable about products, costs, durability and different approaches.

He stayed true to his word in terms of timing and costs. He is the ultimate professional - so polite, kind, and reliable.

We attended a wedding at the West Dennis Yacht Club on Saturday, and I am happy to report that the…read morefacility was a great destination. Despite Mother Nature not cooperating as the remnants of Hurricane Jose brought cooler than normal temps for late September combined with breezy conditions, clouds and rain, the West Dennis Yacht Club was prepared for the day. The facility was prepared with a tent if needed for the ceremony, but the couple and their family decided to take their vows outside despite the breezy and misty conditions. While challenging for the hair and sleeveless outfits, the couple completed their vows and were determined to enjoy their first moments as husband and wife. White chairs on the green grass in front of the waterfront setting was impressive despite the lack of blue skies and sun. Indoors for the reception, the facility was sized for a 150 or so sized wedding with up to 20 tables and a head table. This left some room for the band and a modest dance floor on one side and the bar and mingling area on the other side. The outdoor deck provided the perfect location for the raw bar as well as a place to get fresh air, stretch your legs or enjoy conversation without the pageantry of the wedding reception and band. I would recommend a wedding less than 150 to provide more flow and better acoustics particularly for toasts and speeches. Wedding food is generally never a highlight of the day, but the choices of entree were up to the challenge. The choice of chicken, beef, or vegetarian (eggplant lasagne) were all prepared with side vegetables (zucchini, summer squash, onion) and a salad of greens with mozzarella cheese drizzled with a vinaigrette dressing. Overall, the food was well done. The staff was friendly and accommodating with service that was ever present, yet not disruptive. The bartenders were busy with the bar open from 4PM until 11PM, but were always smiling and ready to accommodate varying eclectic tastes. If you are interested in a waterfront Cape Cod wedding, I would recommend you look at the West Dennis Yacht Club....hopefully Mother Nature is more accommodating, but it is nice to know that they are able to accommodate less than ideal conditions too.
