Bobby the mechanic was great, and managed to clean the oilpan of debris without having to lift the engine. Also got the fuel injectors serviced, new prop shaft, balanced the prop etc etc. Everything went great. Clint the electrician and woodworker fix up some of the shady electrical systems from the previous owner and replace with a proper switch, nicely installed and also fixed the engine instruments. Excellent work. Alex was our project manager. He consistently kept us updated on what was happening, what new things had come up, our options etc. There's an excellent store onsite for everything DIY while there. All in all the work was on time, went well and everything was great.

**REVIEW FOR SAUSALITO LOCATION**…read more My recent, and rather extensive, experience at KKMI Sausalito was truly top notch. I purchased a boat out of my local area and wanted to accomplish some significant refit work before relocating it to Southern California. The entire crew at KKMI was professional, knowledgeable and just great to work with. They worked hard to stay on schedule and and maintained excellent communication throughout. It's a boat, so there were a few last minute surprises but KKMI managed them well, making sure I did not miss my departure window. Thank you to the entire KKMI team (with special thanks to Project Manager, Mitch) for making a large project as stress-free as possible and delivering a quality result that was proven out on the 400nm shakedown trip home.

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.

I have been working with Pablo and Protector Boats since the last Yamaha Dealer I was working with…read morein San Francisco almost put me out of business. Pablo has been my #1 guy since then. If I have an emergency, even if it's a holiday, he calls me right back and has been on the spot to help and serve Bay Voyager, especially when in need. I can not say more nice things about this group except... I think the best thing I can say is that having these guys work on my vessel for over 5 years....I trust them. The price might be a little higher then other Yamaha mechanics (If you can find a good one that is in the bay area), but it's more then made up by the trust and professional service that they provide. These guys are the absolute best/#1 in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I was advised by Pablo to pre-order parts for a service that was "highly recommended" by Pablo, but after a lot of back and forth with lack of communication, I don't really believe this service is needed (consulted with other shop) and now I'm being left hanging about whether the parts are being refundable because there's no other job for it. It sounded like a strange sales pitch to pre order parts for a future service but I came here from a referral so I thought there would be some guarantees. Pablo, you said you were going to talk with me at 5 pm today. I'm tired of calling you and emailing all the time. Call me if you want to make this right. You have my number, e-mail, etc etc

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...

We recently completed a major refit on a large, older European boat with complicated systems and…read morenon-functioning refrigeration, air conditioning, water maker, etc. and Swedish Marine's service was outstanding. First the good stuff: Anders and Danny really know their stuff and are master technicians who seem to really care about their customers and completing each job to high quality standards. As a boat owner for 35 years I can confidently say that they're the best I've worked with, and very, very fair with their pricing. For each job I expected to pay more and was pleasantly surprised with the final bill. A rare experience as a boat owner! Now the challenging part: It's easy to understand some of the reasons for the more critical Yelp reviews. They are a small shop of two technicians (with Ander's wife Lena helping in the office), are pretty much the only ones who do what they do in the S.F Bay Area and they are in demand and very busy. You can't be in a hurry and must be patient in planning your boat projects. If you need immediate attention and you're not an existing customer, these are not your guys. While Danny is a sweetheart and easy to get along with, Anders is all business until you make the effort get to know him. I understand why some might have a hard time with Anders on the surface, but I find him very likable and easy to relate to, perhaps because I get his humor and can see the twinkle in his eye. He's a "man's man" for sure, who shows he cares by providing exceptional service to his customers, if you're patient and lucky enough to become one. There is no-one in the world I'd rather have working on my boat than Anders (Danny is a close second), so he's worth getting to know. Tips for working with Swedish Marine: 1. Be respectful and aware of how busy they are. Don't act like they should drop everything for your project. 2. Plan your projects well in advance, preferably for the off season. 3. Be patient. Like ordering food at a great restaurant, "quick" and "fast" is not on the menu. 4. Connect with them as people, because they are, and don't treat them like "the help," because they don't need your business or your superior attitude. 5. Calling is better than e-mail, and calling early in the day, early in the week is best. When I call between 8am and 9am on a Monday or Tuesday, I almost always get Anders personally picking up the phone. These guys are worth the effort and if you're not willing to do the above, good luck finding anyone better. [The attached photo is just one of many projects completed by Swedish Marine. The previous stove/oven was much smaller and my wife (a foodie and gourmet cook) really wanted this unit, which required modifying the cabinetry to expand the space. As you can see, with Ander's craftsmanship, it looks like it belongs there. The two digital thermostats on the right side of the photo for the new refrigerator and freezer compressors were installed by Danny and included as an upgrade at no charge.]

They look great. The contour fits the boat and is high enough to provide good traction without being imposing. Beautiful execution and design. #2 Misc repairs. Denise did an incredible job repairing an old inspection port and compass hole that needed filling. I couldn't even see the transition in paint until he pointed it out to me. #3 Barney post. Gilles and Denise designed a custom barney post to replace the thwart where the main is currently attached. This opens up the cockpit and makes it much easier to move around in the boat. Wow. Great design and a total beast construction wise. While it is still pretty light to pick up I am convinced I will probably be able to lift the boat by the barney post. It is made from an old carbon/kevlar spinnaker pole section and a number of custom bits. Very very nice. #4 Various soft padeyes and delrin inserts. I've used these all over my boat to install hardware (turning blocks, twings, etc...). Replacing so much stainless junk on my boat with these bits from Gilles is a big part of how I pulled 115# off a 2000# boat. Highly recommended. These guys are the best. Oh yeah, every single project has come in on time and on or under budget.
