This past winter, I took my boat to Crowley's for winter storage because Hammond Marina was full…read more Crowley's storage fees were nearly double what Hammond Marina charges, but I accepted the additional cost because I needed a place to store my boat. I requested winterization, which was expected, and I knew the boat needed some rigging work. However, after winterizing the boat, Crowley's emailed me stating that one of their service technicians had performed a visual inspection of the mechanical assembly and related components and identified issues with my engine and drivetrain that required attention. I never requested this inspection, and before bringing my boat to Crowley's, I had not experienced any mechanical problems while operating it. After nearly $4,000 worth of repairs, my boat came back with more problems than it had when I brought it in. Since their work was completed: * My charge indicator, which had always worked properly, no longer works. * The boat no longer goes into reverse. * The tiller no longer has proper support and simply drops to the ground. * I had informed them that my battery charger was broken and that I had already purchased a replacement from Amazon, yet I was charged for a new battery charger anyway. * My companionway door was returned broken, and I had to repair it myself. When I took the boat out for only the second sail after the repairs, I heard a knocking sound coming from the drivetrain. Because I often sail alone, I did not feel safe continuing to operate the boat. I contacted Crowley's immediately, and they told me to bring it back. I had to pay to have the boat towed back to their facility at my own expense. At no point did I feel that Crowley's accepted responsibility for the new issues that appeared after their work. This experience has been extremely disappointing. I spent thousands of dollars and ended up with a boat that has more problems than it did before the repairs. Between the unexpected costs, the additional damage, and the lack of accountability, I have completely lost confidence in their service. Based on my experience, I will not use Crowley's again, and I cannot recommend them to other boat owners.

I've stored my boat for the winter at Crowley's for the past 2 years. I've only had the unstep and…read morestep the mast. They have been super easy to deal with. I postponed my splash date several times last spring without an issue. I do most of the maintenance on my boat. Their boat store always had the part (I think I've been lucky) Even the obscure transmission cable and prop shaft I needed. My comparison of storage prices and prices at there ship store puts it pretty close to others without the river run boats in the city need to do. Last, I've spent a lot of time in the yard over the past couple of years. Their employees are pretty friendly people. Random yard workers say hi are helpful.

To make things worse, we were about to lose our financing since we didn't close on a boat that was not ready and was still on blocks the day after we lost our loan. We tried to work something out with them, but their attorney demanded and additional deposit of over $100,000 and they already had $100,000 plus. They say they were ready to close. I'm sure they were. They just didn't have a boat to deliver. They have not and will not return any of our deposit. As of now, we our out over $100,000. However, we are perusing legal action. There are a lot more details, but that sums it up. The picture posted is the boat on blocks with no propellers because the bearings were not available make the boat boat unseaworthy.

My wife and I are very disappointed in a yacht we recently bought from Yachtsalesinternational…read more First, the yacht was delivered in San Francisco (where we live) from Florida two weeks late, forcing us to rent another yacht for my wife's birthday party. Throughout out experience, our broker kept on giving empty promises. We now have the yacht at our new berth and an inspection report fromour expert has shown a lot of malfunctions on top of what I can visually observe. According to photos sent by the Yachtsalesinternational, the yacht has no mechanical problems, yet there is an ignition switch failure, a propeller that looks like it hit a rock, and a vibrating engine. These blemishes were never covered in the description and the boat was described as "mint."What I am disappointed mostin is the torn leather all over the furniture, which was again not captured in the photos. Yachtsalesinternational, through a phone call, says this isminor damage, but it means a lot to me. I am also disappointed by the damaged hull on the left side and the fact that our broker never brought it to my attention. Sadly, I have now paid for the boat and ownership changed to my name. All I can do is do endless followups with Yachtsalesinternational to get all of these issues amended at their cost.
