Boats are expensive to maintain, so it's important to trust that your boatyard is reasonable and…read morecompetent. My boat has been in and out of a number of North Bay yards over the past 30 years, and Bay Marine is the one I trust. Each item in their work orders is either a fixed price or an accurate, reasonable estimate that they usually come in under. If additional work is needed they ask for a change order. Jaime keeps me in the loop as they work through issues. I can get at the boat 24/7 if necessary while it's in the yard. I used to get a bottle of wine along with my bill from KKMI, and it was the most expensive wine I ever got. Bay Marine has good communication, prices no higher than they have to be, and an always filled candy dish in the office. Good enough for me.

Once we got our refrigerator serviced, he was very communicative and on task with any follow-up questions or issues and he's just a very nice guy in general. We highly recommend :)

It's a very thin SS prop, and this couldn't have been easy. But these guys know they're doing! Due to the fall, one of the blades got bent. They fixed the blade, checked the pitch, balanced my prop and then polished it. And their prices are very reasonable. This place has new owners. I think they've been there ~1 year. A couple of young guys, with fantastic attitudes, and very customer friendly. They both have lots of experience working on props. So, I'd recommend just paying attention to reviews for the last year or so. I'd HIGHLY recommend them. I think you'll agree if you visit them with any prop issues...

I made a call to Ken because I needed a Yamaha generator. He was very nice on the phone and had…read morewhat I needed. He directed me to his new location in Richmond, CA (he is no longer in Marin). We made arrangements for me to pick up the generator at his new address (651 South 15th Street, Richmond CA 94804). At first, I wasn't sure I was at the correct location because I was looking at a dirt lot with a truck parked on it. But yes, that is where he is located. I now have what I need and know who I can count on for future service/purchases. Four stars only because he doesn't take credit cards and doesn't have an office (yet!) as he is still in the process of settling into his new location. Happy to upgrade to 5 stars when he gets it all together. Love his dogs!

My motor has never touch water and now I am at a loss. I would highly warn anyone doing business with this shady character - and watch out for the sketchy dogs too !!!!!
