He has an enormous amount of expertise and helped guide us through our first boat purchase. Unfortunately, when we bought the boat, the marina wasn't so kind. Richard took time out of his busy schedule to help my husband with the collection of the vessel. He dropped everything for THREE hours to help move the boat to another marina and ensured a safe boat transport . He went above and beyond! This was even two weeks after we closed on the boat and he had no obligation to do this. He really is a great person and we highly recommend him. Thanks, Richard!

My wife and I have a CHB 34' trawler in Alameda. We had fuel issues that caused some engine damage…read moreand that wasn't cheap to fix. We contacted Nathan and Eva at Marinelube and they "polished" our fuel to remove all of the water and bugs in our tanks. No more worries about a recurrence of the engine damage and the polishing was a fraction of the bill for the engine work. They were extremely flexible in scheduling the work and did everything dockside so we didn't have to move the boat. Nathan also installed fuel level sensors in our two tanks and a gauge so now we know at a glance how much fuel we have. Such a pleasure to work with (especially Eva) and highly recommended!!

What everyone says is absolutely true!…read more Chuck's Marine has been a staple in the Bay Area for decades, earning a stellar reputation for value, quality, and meticulous attention to detail. After hearing so many great things, I finally decided to have my 2001 Catalina 380 serviced by Chuck -- Damn! Why did I wait so long?. Chuck had previously worked on my boat, and it was clear from the moment he opened the engine compartment that he knew it inside and out. Dates of previous service, repairs, and replacements were clearly marked in Sharpie across the engine, transmission, and other components -- demonstrating his thoroughness and memory of the boat's history. During the service, Chuck was able to recall all past repairs and nuances the boat had experienced, which gave me great confidence. He spent the entire day performing a comprehensive service, including oil, fuel, transmission, and water filter changes, water pump repairs, alternator electrical checks, and thorough inspections of the transmission cable and steering quadrant. We also created a detailed list of everything that had been completed, as well as future recommendations for the boat. Before starting, Chuck was upfront about options for where and when he could work on the boat, as well as clear about costs and parts. This level of transparency and professionalism is exactly what every mechanic should strive for. I'm now officially a regular on Chuck's annual maintenance list and highly recommend his services to anyone in the Bay Area!

I was looking for one particular item that had fallen off my boat from a past storm while moored in my slip. Unfortunately I waited months before calling (I didn't think it would move once it sank to the bottom... boy was I wrong). Although they didn't find what I was looking for they did a very thorough search of the bottom around my boat and then some. Their price was fair, and all aspects of their customer service was better than expected. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again if a need arose.

A nice guy -- or so we thought -- but once we signed the contract he NEVER marketed the boat as agreed before signing with him. In fact, he NEVER MARKETED IT AT ALL but he essentially forced us into selling the vessel to a client of his "associate" ... this after letting the boat sit for 3 1/2 months while catering to the whims of his "potential buyer" and NEVER SHOWING IT TO ANYONE ELSE!!! Since we had moved to Europe and were not there to monitor everything we were unaware that he never even put up "for sale" signs on the vessel for over two months or until we phoned him and were outraged with that knowledge. He changed the locks WITHOUT OUR AUTHORIZATION and then a boat neighbor told us he had seen someone on our boat KICKING BACK AND WATCHING THE LARGE SCREEN TV AT NIGHT!!!! I mean, maybe someone was living there for all we knew!!! Because of his constant lack of communication and the fact of NO MARKETING we were nervous wrecks for 3 1/2 months while he let the prime selling months of summer pass so his one potential buyer could go on an EXTENDED EUROPEAN VACATION -- while he just left us dangling. From our nerve wracking experience we would advise potential boat sellers to go elsewhere if looking for a reputable boat broker.

**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.
