Decided on our first boat purchase and came to Pacific Marine Center. When we arrived Jason greeted…read moreus, offered us waters and asked how he can help us. We told him that we were interested in looking at a Yamaha Boat. He said it was in the other showroom and we took the club car down the street to their extended property. Didn't realize how many boats they had in stock. When it came to making the deal he was not pushy, got us extra discounts within reason and spoke to Jack (the owner) to see what else they can do to sweeten the deal. Jack was pleasant, probably stressed with how busy they were that day, but still took the time to work with us to get the price right for our purchase. When we came back the next week to pick up the boat they were very good in going over the entire boat and features as well as inspecting every angle. They include basic safety gear 4 life jackets and a throwable that you can exchange for credit if you already have gear. The workers hooked up the boat and trailer to our hitch and we were on our way. It gets busy here especially around 10-11am with people getting service for their boats. A lot of drop offs and pick ups. Definitely plan on coming early when they open. Customers come in stressed but Jason, Jack and staff stay cool and calm to help everyone with their needs. Thanks Pacific Marine Center for the great experience!

You CAN'T trust Pacific Marine! Bait and switch at its…read morefinest!! PLEASE USE CAUTION! We put a $1,000 deposit on a boat while we went through the financing process and having a hard hit on our credit. We were in contact with them DAILY. We bought a year of insurance as the last act before giving the down payment and signing documents. We got a call that night stating they sold the boat from under us without even a phone call. They then told us the $1,000 was only good for 5 days (first time hearing that!) It was actually the 3rd business day as we had a holiday weekend. If this is how dishonest they are selling it, imagine what else they may be dishonest about behind the scenes! Jack's way to make things right was to offer more expensive boats.. The only boats the owner, Jack offered added more than $10k to the original price. Jack knew we were approved, They could care less we dinged our credit and most likely figured since we were approved; we could be easily forced into a more expensive boat! Jack "offered" two other boats that were way more money! ((Their only goal)) You've been warned.

First, Boulder Boats typically has a great selection of new and used boats. I had been watching…read moretheir site for about a year and had a good feeling this was a high-probability buy site! In summary, the whole buying experience was truly great in every way. Jake, did his part to understand what I was after and intuitively took me a bit further down a less-expensive road, whatttt?! And, he made the right call. Also, he worked with me as I worked him on the price. We did not frustrate, but methodically worked out a fair price, and he certainly held up his end of the bargain. For that alone, he gets 5 stars! Next, the boat checkout. I was probably an easy customer having been around boats all my life. Nonetheless, Dillon (sorry Dylan, if I butchered your name!) was timely, efficient, patient, and willing to help and answer any and all questions in the parking lot, on the lake, and on the ramp. 5 stars. Matt, the main service guy. This is a tough one because I know boats and love to work on them, buuuuutttt I had to let go and have Matt "geeter dun" as I had little time. We had to come to terms on several technical issues and haggle a bit on the cost, but his patience, experience, and knowledge resulted in a very sano install for a reasonable price. In the end, he and his crew did an excellent job installing ballast, batteries, prop, full engine service, trailer service, and he got us on the road promptly and confidently on a Saturday morning before a 400-mile tow. The tow went without incident, and the boat ran great. Thanks Matt! 5 stars. Cameron. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. Hung with us through a 2-hour shopping spree including boat stuff, life jackets, wake surfers, and wake surf gear. Gear selection was good, but not quite Overton's or iBoat (duh!). Regardless, Cameron was extremely helpful and earned his 5 stars too! Dusty. Came and went, but checked on us often to ensure that all was good. He exuded customer care. 5 stars. Last but not least, Ann. She was obviously efficient at what she does and provided concise and friendly closure to our experience at Boulder Boats. Pretty sure she went an extra yard or two with the DMV while procuring our plates and registration. Big thanks Ann, 5 stars! All in all, a pleasurable and awesome experience with a really great team of individuals. Pretty sure this is not the norm when it comes to buying a boat. We would gladly do it again!

Great experience. Tony is awesome He goes above and beyond to make your rental an easy fast processread more

My brother in law was scammed here is what he said about this company…read more Please do not rent from this company. They will show the lowest price in town but they will get the rest of the money from your deposit. There are other better options from Getmyboat and Boatsetter These are peer to peer rentals and they all have great reviews. I chose to rent from BVR because of lack of research. Please don't make the same mistake I did; unless you're ok with paying the rental fee plus deposit. Remember your deposit isn't going back to you regardless of what proof you have. I have attached photos of our texts which includes proof against charges. The owner didn't budge which means that his plan is to lure customers with a low rental fee price but make up his money on the withheld deposit. The other plan is he could possibly give his workers a commission fee for setting up customers in order to receive more money from the customers. They have me on camera recording the entire boat before and after return which is why they chose another route to keep my deposit. They thought because I didn't top off the boat with fuel that they can charge me my deposit. I provided proof of the contract that it was returned with the same amount of fuel how I received it as well as a receipt for the fuel. The owner didn't reply after that. They also threw in a missing flag, fire extinguisher, and blemish to the tube to add to the statement of charges. He told me the tube had to have fallen off while driving on the road because it was road rash. Attached is a photo of the tube strapped safely to my truck which is proof against what he said. There is also videos of us using the flag. Nothing was missing; they just wanted to make the withholding of the entire deposit more believable. Regardless I wanted my money back, so I offered to buy him anything that they said were missing as well as take the tube to an upholstery repair company to fix the blemish. He ignored me and said he will not talk to me anymore and to email him. He does this because he knows that even if he doesn't scam his customers the majority of his customers are still going to be one time customers or at the most once a year customers. By him scamming his customers, it is not going to affect him too bad other than doubling up his wallet that year. There are always new prospective customers growing every year. The only way to prevent them from making the same mistake I did will be this review. If you search up BVR on Better Business Bureau you can see they have an F. Please do not rent from BVR! If don't listen to all these negative reviews, literally all of them about a deposit being withheld, and you rent from them anyways then don't waste your time trying to dispute the charge. Not only will they not review your dispute but they will drag on your dispute for weeks; being ignored day after day. You will waste countless hours calling, texting, stressing, and gathering up evidence for proof against charges. And in the end not even a dime returned to you. I personally work with many big companies such as Quinn, Enterprise, H&E, United, Fresno Equipment. So I know how good businesses run and how they should run. But BVR is far from it. HEED MY WARNING!
