This was my first experience buying a boat so I wanted to get it right. I went to a few boat places all the way from Marysville to Olympia. Some ok they showed me around, but nothing impressive. Other's, yea, I wouldn't go back to them to purchase a boat cover. From the time my wife and I walked in the salesman, Jay, was very helpful. I explained that this was our first boat and we wanted something not too big so we could take it to the lake but big enough so we could take it in the sound. Jay took the time to explain the differences and what we would need. He also did not try to up-sell anything which I really appreciated! Just as a side note, his sense of humor was great as well. not really a selling point but made you feel comfortable, makes a difference when making a big purchase. Lastly, everyone there was very polite and professional (even the mechanic, sorry but I forgot his name, but a great young man)! If they see you are doing something they are right there asking if they can help you do it. But don't get concerned, they did not hover. they knew the right time to leave you alone so you could make your decisions (NO PRESSURE!). All in all, an AWESOME experience from walking on the lot to leaving after the 20 hour service. If you're looking to check out boats and don't stop in, you're doing yourself an injustice! :) read more

Yesterday I ran out of gas near Jay Smiths King Salmon Marine business. Anyone that knows the Tide Flats in Tacoma knows that it's all just Warehouse & Business. The nearest gas station not close enough with several small kids in tow. We knocked on a few business stores in the surrounding area to ask for Helping Hand, Jay Smith was our savior that day. He was obviously busy Knee Deep in what he was doing, but he graciously obliged and handed over a couple of gallons of gas with only request to pay it forward when possible. I may not be able to speak on personal knowledge of his business but as far as business/personal ethics I can tell you hands down he's 100% genuine. Thank you again for being our hero of our horrible day. read more

I recently purchased a new Smokercraft boat motor and trailer from Jay at King Salmon Marine and the acquisition was seamless. No pressure sales, but good and informative information regarding all three purchases. I wanted to add some additional accessories, and Jay informed me it would not be a problem. I provided specific information on the accessories and they acquired them and installed them to the level of detail that exceeded my expectations. Jay's salesmanship is above reproach, the service was outstanding, and the quality of the purchase looks to be first class. You will not be disappointed working with their team, I will definitely give them my repeat business. read more

What a relief! I needed to get a full service on my 60hp 4 stroke Yamaha on my Boston Whaler & exchange my side control mount with a brand new binnacle. Checked online ratings of outboard services near me & found King Salmom Marine of having a good reputation so I tried them. I'm so glad I did! From the time I called to schedule the appointment to leaving today with my boat in tow they were fantastic! Very honest, friendly & easy to speak with! Definitely look to them for any and all Marine needs! They have earned all of my future business! read more

Stuart, Jay and the entire staff at King Salmon Marine instilled confidence from the moment I entered their business. They looked you in the eye, smiled and obviously knew a lot about boats and motors. They professionally installed two new Honda outboards at a great price, and went above and beyond by creating reinforcing brackets where needed to attach the controls. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with King Salmon Marine - they will continue to get my business. read more

This company is too notch. They don't down sell the competitive products, they focus on features and benefits of the products they sell. From Sales to service they are very knowledgeable, patient, and easy to do business with. No high pressure here. Jay is very customer service orientated. Matter of fact all the people that work there are very friendly. Would definitely purchase another boat from them if the need arises. Thank you King Salmon Marine for the positive experience! read more

Took my 87' Johnson outboard here twice. I was a little overwhelmed at first seeing all the new boats and I bring in an old outboard. Jeff at parts and service treated me with respect and was very helpful. I give kudos to Jared who worked on my motor. Don't let his age fool you, this kid knows his stuff. He is very knowledgeable and very polite. Thank you King Salmon Marine for having great customer service. Hopefully next time I come in, it will be for buying a boat. Brad Summers read more

They also help me to get all of my money back what I had put out of pocket. I would highly recommend this business and I would buy from them again. read more

I live in Alaska, and found a used tunnel jet on the web that King Salmon Marine had for sale. Their salesman Jay was the best! I was able to conduct the entire purchase by phone and email. He was most forthright and transparent in the exact condition of the boat and did not misrepresent a single thing. His handling of the transaction from start to finish was perfect, and I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone. Job well done!! Thank you. read more

The guys at King Salmon Marine are great. Buying a boat is a big decision. This was the easiest purchase process I've ever had. I felt no pressure and they were easy to work with and really nice too.

I'm in my fifties, and this was probably the most efficient, friendly and complete experience I've had at any repair place for anything. Ever. Cannot recommend Jeff and his team highly enough. In a busy time, they had my motor fixed and ready to go within 24 hours of me taking it in. Very reasonable price, and helpful guys. Would definitely recommend. Thanks guys! read more

I took my C-dory in to see how much in trade they would give me on my beat up Honda 50's for a new single 90hp. I got a little more than expected and they gave me a smoking deal on the new motor. They even had it ready for me the next day! You can really tell that Stuart is running a good honest business. read more
