I went back to the shop and an employee showed me a scribbled note for repairs including removal of both motors and resurfacing and painting the bottom. No indication of investigating or trouble shooting the cause. Also scribbled on the notepad was 9K. A couple of days later after talking to Ryan at Y Marina I returned to Medford to retrieve the boat which had been sitting outside in the weather. I drove the three hours to Coos Bay and dropped off the boat. A couple of days later I received a call from Ryan with the results of their inspection. They discovered the cause was improper grounding of electronics from the manufacturer and an issue with the battery switch leaking voltage to the hull. These guys are incredible, trustworthy and repaired the boat in a very timely manner. Oh, I must mention they did all the repair work, diagnostics and resurfaced and painted the bottom for several thousand dollars less than Crater Lake Marin's scribbled estimate of $9,000.00 Thank you Ryan and crew for a job well done! You guys are well worth the drive. Total charges from Y Marina was $2,493.75 !!!!!!!!

Started off with a phone call to the Coos Bay dealership, inquiring about a boat I had seen on…read moretheir website. They said it was available, so I made arrangements to fly in from N. California. I gave them a weeks' notice and asked if they could have the boat brought down from there Florence dealership, they agreed. I confirmed the day before arrival that I was going to be at the dealership around 1pm, once I arrived, I was told that they were not able to bring the boat down and I would need to drive an hour away to the Florance dealership to see the boat. I can understand if they didn't have time to bring the boat down to Coos Bay on only a possibility of a boat sale, but if they would have told me that they were unable to, and I would have just drove Stright there from the airport and not wasted my time going to the Coos Bay dealership. The salesperson (Brian) said he would go with me to the Florence dealership, but they were extremely busy (there was not one customer in site), so I said no problem and just went myself. I took a look at the boat, spoke with a very nice and knowledgeable guy from the Florance dealership and headed back to the Coos Bay dealership to discuss buying the boat. Called Brian and let him know I was on my way, but he was at home already (3:30) and that we could go over final pricing on Monday. I was thinking, I came all this way and was going to buy this boat that day but needed to wait until Monday now. (Note, boat sales are very slow, and Y Marina is closing the Florance Dealership down, but couldn't take a little extra time that day to sell a 100K plus boat). Call on Monday, settled on a price for the Boat, ask if they would be interested in also setting up the boat with electronics and kicker motor and asked for the addition cost, they said sure thing and they would get back to me that afternoon or the following morning. I didn't hear back, so I called the following day to finalize the deal and asked why I had not heard back from them sooner, then I was told that the boat was sold to someone else. I mentioned that we had agreed to a price and the boat was sold and that I was just waiting on the accessory pricing and installation lead time. They offered no apology and just said that there Florence store sold the boat and didn't communicate that with them. I said it seems that you do not communicate well with each other and that the boat should not have been sold out from underneath me. I have seen good reviews about this dealership, and it might have been this way at one time, but my experience showed me that they are very disconnected and scattered and communicate poorly with potential customers. I don't think sales work very well this way in a slow market (or any market). I guess maybe they got comfortable with the hot boat sales market of the past and it shows. I ended up buying a boat and Clemens Marina. Very knowledgeable staff and communicated well and great pricing. Y Marina missed out on $150K sale, due to lack of effort, scattered and poor sales Commnication.

I would like to share a recent experience that my father-in-law Bert Wheeler had when dealing with…read moreY-Marina on Coos Bay, Oregon. Keep in mind my father-in-law is retired, on a fixed income and loves to fish and was in need of a kicker motor for his older 17' Spectrum. He spent countless hours trying to figure out exactly what he needed and to find a dealer that would work with him on motor setup and service that was in his budget. With no luck in the Eugene/Springfield area as well as online he happened to stop by Y-Marina in Coos Bay talked with Scott, who took the time to figure out what exactly what my father-in-law needed. They settled on a new 9.9 Yamaha and it was the best price in the state or online. Needless to say it fished great. As it would happen last fall the old 60hp motor on the Spectrum started acting up so he took it in to be repaired at Y-Marina and they would have fixed it for him, but Scott was able to get him into a brand new 60hp motor for a better price than he could find for a used motor from any other source locally or online. Now he can fish worry free, and just as important we as a family, don't have to worry about him on the water. It is a joy to go out and fish worry free, thanks to the sales and service provided by Y-Marina. He always speaks highly of the customer service he received at Y-Marina. The staff dealt with him in an honest and friendly manner and went above and beyond. Sincerely, Steve Swartout

I'm writing this review after several months of use of my purchase from y Marina. I went from a…read moredrift boat to a smokercraft pro Alaskan . I looked for almost a year hesitant on pulling the trigger. I wanted something reliable as I usually have kids fishing in the boat with me. I was also looking for a good deal new or used. So when I saw a boat that looked like something that would fit that bill I went to y Marina. That's where I met Bubba. He was excellent, easy to talk to and pointed me in the right direction. He even went out of his way to give my toddler son some snacks to keep him entertained. Upon purchase I voiced a concern with the boat and he immediately got on the phone and assured me if there were any problems y Marina would take care of us. I purchased a used boat this time but next time I will be purchasing a new boat from y Marina . We have used the boat at least 15 time since purchase a few months ago. We have never had a single issue . Thanks again Bubba and to all the staff at y Marina that helped us. From the office ladies filing our paperwork to the mechanics checking over the boat before purchase.

The marina has over 400 moorage slips, a six lane boat launch, fish cleaning stations, restrooms and showers. The RV park offers full hook-ups, restrooms, showers, laudromat, and recreation room. Both offer daily, weekly and monthly rates. It's a great place to charter a boat for fishing. The rates are pretty reasonable in this small coastal town. You can also try to fish or crab on your own from the dock. We enjoyed our time here. Everyone was so friendly and willing to share their fishing adventures with us. We would definitely recommend if you're looking for a place to charter a boat or fish off the dock while staying at the RV park.

Yep. That's right. In between all of the commercial vessels that call this marina home you'll find locals and visitors trying their hand at catching a Dungeness crab. Charleston Marina is one of the top recommendations for crabbing from shore. It's easily accessed, spacious, and can be productive. I was amazed at how many people were hanging out trying their luck. We dropped our first crab ring, and after a few minutes we pulled it up and found a lot of crabs! None were keepers but it was so cool to know all of them were hanging out. This is a must do during your visit and the bait shop near the docks offers the equipment for rent, so make it happen. You'll also find a lot of charter boats leaving from here too. I took one but that's another review!
