Took my WaveRunner in for annual service and let Justin know it was running a little sluggish last time out. Ended up needing a bunch of work done but trusted there diagnosis and was very pleased with the communication and work performed. Great shop - Better people - Support small business!! Thanks Justin JC read more

I brought my 2023 Yamaha FX Cruiser SVHO here because the owner recommended spraying Gator Glide on the hull for "better performance and protection." He specifically said he would test it in the water and remove it if it didn't work well. After the job, the boat became extremely unstable -- especially when decelerating at high speed on calm water. Steering wobbles badly, the boat slides sideways, and it's genuinely unsafe with passengers. I contacted them multiple times with zero response. They completely ghosted me for four months. I eventually had to go to their location and leave a note on the door. Only then did a friend of the owner open the warehouse and return my boat. The friend kept saying he was "just helping." There was no crane or proper equipment -- my friend and I had to manually lift and move the heavy jet ski from a small car onto the trailer ourselves. The Gator Glide is still on the boat. No testing was done, no removal was offered, and zero accountability. This coating has ruined the handling of an otherwise excellent Yamaha. Extremely disappointed. Do not use this shop. read more

They will keep ur skis with no update or calls. I paid for a paint repair, got it back just for it to come off the first ride. Was promised multiple times for it to be fix with no response from justin since march. I will be contacting my insurance on my next steps. read more

Please be careful with this company I have sea doos with them since 2/20/2025 and are still not done . All I want now is to pick up but no one is answering any of the messages or calls . read more

Honestly, I have never met the best mechanic for boats until I met Justin. He is very honest trustworthy and very quick on his response. He is very professional took my boat in immediately with honest truth and a reasonable price. I highly recommend Justin to anybody with JetSki or any JetSki boat or even anything else Because of him, I have my family having a ton of fun in the lake thank you, Justin read more

Justin is exceptionally knowledgeable of all kinds of Jet Skis. He got my old Honda Aquatrax up and running like new. He went above and beyond to take care of me as I was on a tight timeline. read more

Took my skis here for some carb work and new fuel lines. After some miscommunication with fuel line setup, Justin was more than willing to take them back in and fix the issue. Skis run great, they went above any beyond to make sure we were happy with the results. Definitely plan on continuing to do business here in the future. read more

Justin is a great guy and a specialist in this field. He understands what it takes to rebuild an engine or address any corrosion or spark plug issues. I had my Yamaha sx 230 not firing up and he was able to diagnose the issue and found the starter relay was fried. He also pointed out a multitude of issues that were overlooked by other techs at another shop so he did a full service at a reasonable price! All in one day! Trustworthy and reliable! read more

Watercraft Direct - Zinc anodes replaced - Jet Skis Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Justin is reliable, honest and definitely knows what he's talking about! Unlike many other mechanics out there that will rob you blind (or at least it feels like it) he keeps it very honest and his prices are very reasonable. We have taken our jetskis twice to him and have walked away satisfied with all questions answered. Even with the option of much closer shops, we still choose this place and make the drive out from Riverside if that tells you anything! read more

Six Stars. Justin is trustworthy and knows his stuff, I would not trust anyone else with my Seadoo, highly recommend Watercraft Direct. read more

Can't say enough about Justin. Brought my '96 SeaDoo GTX in. I do a lot of the work on it myself but wanted him to give it a once over and check a few things out that I try to stay away from because they require special knowledge and expertise. Called the next day and Justin said the ski checked out great and really didn't even know what to charge me since the work they did didn't even fall under their "check-up" charge. Can't tell you how comforting it is to find someone who doesn't try and "find" things wrong! He evaluated the ski, found nothing wrong and charged me a minimal charge for his time. I'll be back! Thanks again. read more

Watercraft Direct - My very happy 1996 SeaDoo Bombardier GTX - Jet Skis Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This is by far the best place in the area to get your jet skis serviced. Justin and his teams are very well versed on everything jet ski related. They are very professional and offer very good pricing. Too many good thing say about them. Thank you for all the help! read more

Justin and the crew at watercraft direct really came to my rescue! We had been rear-ended out on the highway on our way back from San Dimas. Our van and the trailer right out from under the skis was totaled. 1 ski hit the ground. As you know with fiberglass, it's like dropping an egg. I was horrified and in tears. We were thankfully okay physically but my 26 year-old 1995 Kawasaki stand up 750 SX and 750sxi where hurt pretty bad. From the wreck I texted Justin and he came to my rescue having the wrecking truck just bring the trailer and everything straight to him. He worked with me on the price and a few weeks later both my baby skis were back to good as new. Do the covid-19 oh, some trim pieces are on backorder but all of the work they did with fiberglass and paint is perfect! They look brand new! Miracle workers! Definitely deserving of all the five star reviews! read more

Justin and his staff were extremely helpful and professional. His prices are fair and he has your best interest in mind. He does not screw people over unlike the other jet ski places in the area. Whether you're in need of repair or wanting to rent jet skis, I highly recommend Watercraft Direct. read more

Man oh man. Justin is so amazing. Took care of us with a tune up, injector cleaning and a couple of other things. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and I definitely left knowing I found our guy for jetski repairs. If only I could find a car mechanic as good as him. Definitely recommend read more

I've been meaning to re/review this for some time now. Horrible place. We thought they fixed out jet skis so we drove them to AZ all for them to not work at all. They charged us over $600 for nothing. We took them else where and they told us that no work had even been done. read more

I believe the guy's name was Justin that I dealt with cool guy very knowledgeable. And he saved me a bunch of money if I would have taken why Sea-Doo too the place my family used for years . I took it in for what I thought was going to be in the normal service. It was used Sea-Doo that I bought last season. However a couple problems occurred with not using OEM parts by the previous owner. Not only did my Sea-Doo get fixed but he also saved the lake trip that I was planning the very next day. He went out of his way to get the part I needed and have my Seadoo up and running within two hours. Honesty integrity and reliability. This place is earned my business for life. Not only that he educated me a lot the time that we talked so now I feel more comfortable buying a second Sea-Doo read more

I have been to Watercraft Direct multiple times with my SeaDoo for repairs and Justin has always treated me exceptionally well and provided high-value and quality service. I give my highest recommendation for this business and it's Rockstar owner, Justin. Example: My gauges quit working and Justin suspected the problem might be a fuse (even thought he and I both agreed the fuses looked fine - I had even checked them before going to the shop). He said that some times the 1 amp fuse can look fine but still not function, so he plugged in a new one. And viola! The gauges came to life. No charge for either the diagnosis or the little fuse. Couldn't be happier with this kind of dedication to keeping us on the water! I will definitely be back as my 2004 PWC continues aging. read more

Called Waterfraft Direct to put hydro turf on my ski. They got me in quick and made my ski look better than I could've imagined. Also helped get my ski running in tip top shape. Highly recommend for any and all PWC related needs. Thanks again guys. read more

Watercraft Direct - Jet Skis Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I am not happy with watercraft Direct service , and after service care, I took my 2014 Seadoo spark couple of months ago for a service and told Justin about gasoline smell in the engine compartment,and he said he will take care of it. the gasoline smell was not gone and i called and let him know about it. Justin said he is too busy at the moment and will call to let me know when to bring back the seadoo to get fixed I never received any call .... read more

Very honest and knowledgeable shop. Justin was very helpful over the phone and in person. We originally took our jetski to the dealer because it would not start after shutting it off. They said it was a bad crank and wanted an additional $342.68 to pull the motor to break it down to further inspect it. We ended up taking it to watercraft direct for a second opinion and it turned out to only be a stuck bendix on the starter. The long list of items that the dealer said were bad only turned out to be a $50 part and $100 in labor. It's nice to find an honest jet ski repair shop that knows what they are doing. read more

Owner is very helpful in repairs, and has great deals on rentals. My ski needed a small welding job. The owner was very upfront and honest about the options available for the welding needed. My ski was ready within two days. Any questions I had were kindly answered, and I was given great advice on how to continue to take good care of my toy. Thank you! read more

Looked these guys up didn't know what to expect. Called lady was very nice full of information and attemtative (I'm sorry I didn't remember any names' :/ I was so excited to get going) overall equipment was in tip top shape they explained every detail to ensure a great time. Made sure I was completely comfortable before driving away with the PWC. Equipment was great no mishaps at all. And stayed open late just so I can get my PWC the day I request even though I showed up 1 1/2 hour late to pick them up :/ overall I enjoy my time with them and I am definetly going back more to rent them out catch me there next weekend again! Oh and it's cheaper!!!! The price you pay at some places for 1 hour they let you keep it all day! read more

Wow! I brought my boat to Watercraft Direct for a inspection and service. What I received was great service, amazing work, and fast turnover. Happy customer and you will be too. Highly recommended! read more

I am very happy with the service my 2012 Yamaha Waverunners (and I) received this past week at Watercraft Direct. I've always been a "just take it to the dealership" kind of guy but after paying $500 each for annual tune-ups at a Yamaha dealer, I finally decided to look for an alternative. I have to admit I was a bit nervous about doing so. But Justin, the owner, was terrific and was patient with all my questions when I called. I dropped the trailer off in the morning and both Waverunners were done by early afternoon. He pointed out several things the dealer had actually done incorrectly the last time I had it serviced at the Yamaha dealer. I saved money and found my new Waverunner shop. read more

Very Happy to have found Jessica and Justin. Great people to rent jetski's from and they offer a really good deal. Rented 4 jet ski's for the today at a fantastic price, even helped deliver and pick them on a Sunday no less! obviously a hard working family and they know what they're doing which is great! The jetski's we're very new and in really good condition, low hours ( low miles basically ) and super fast. Thank you Justin and Jessica for making our Sunday on the water very awesome! No doubt will be renting from them again as soon as the weather is nice and hot. read more

Great customer service from these guys!!!! Could not be happier that I found these guys. I was having some electrical issues with my 2015 Waverunners , called them up and they told to to bring them in. I got there and they had me back the trailer up to the back area and they started looking at a few things. The mechanic hooked up a charger to it and in just a few moments it started right up. They had me leave the trailer there for a bit and while they just checked to ensure it was just that the batteries were a little low they charged them up Came back about an hour and half later and sure enough it was what they thought. The batteries just went a little low sense they had sat for 3 months. The prices from these guys was amazing as well. The local dealerships wanted over 100 bucks each before they could even look at them. Top notch customer service and pricing. Anyway to give these guys some extra bonus stars!!!!!! Thanks again guys!!!! read more

Justin does everything out of love and is willing to spread his Water sports knowledge. So happy to find "my guy" in this community. You can really feel his passion about his business. read more

Justin is a great guy, always goes above and beyond to make sure his customers are happy!

I have never had such a Honest and Great experience when I was hoping for the best, but expecting the opposite! Justin was beyond Honest!! Super knowledgeable and straight up and beyond fair pricing! Checked out My 96 SeaDoo GTS, found it to be fine and fixed a line that had popped out on My Oil Tank! Checked My Fuel Lines and then on top of it all, brought My Ski back to Me at My Shop and hooked it up! Called Me, said All was good, Ski was hooked up to My Santa Fe and what I was very worried about, turned out to be a Blessing and He could have told Me anything and instead was Super Honest!! Can't thank You enough Justin!! If You have any type of Jet Ski, Seadoo or Yamaha PWC, I Highly recommend Justin and His Crew at Watercraft Direct!! read more

Absolutely incredible service and craftsmanship. I brought in a fiberglass panel from our boat that needed fiberglass repair and new gelcoat. The piece looks better than new. Justin took care of it personally at a reasonable price and I am very grateful. Thank you! read more

Excellent customer service and great work quality. They addressed some issues with my older Seadoo for me and I'm very happy with the results! I couldn't ask for a better experience. They even took the time to answer some unrelated questions and offer suggestions for good places to ride. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

First time renting jet ski at this place, actually first time renting jet ski period, and Justin made the whole experience perfect. He helped us out from beginning to end. He even came to the beach to pick up the jet ski. I would def recommend this place and I'm looking forward in making business again. read more

Justin the owner seemed like a stand up guy so when he sold me a jet ski and said all it needed was a jet pump I took him for his word he even said he would find one for me and install it. long story short the ski needed more then a jet pump. turns out the ski actually has a major motor issue and is worthless. 4000.00 for a ski he says runs but doesn't Now he wont even return my call. BUYER BEWARE RENTER BEWARE DONT TAKE YOUR SKI TO THIS GUY HE IS UNETHICAL!!! read more

I was impressed with all of the positive Yelp reviews and called them regarding repair of my Sea Doo. After 4 messages to service every other day, no one returned my call. I then tried calling their sales dept. where I got a live person who said they would immediately call someone at service right then to call me back. No one called back. I then waited until after Labor Day thinking that their workload should have slowed down and left a final message to service that I was making my last attempt. No one called back. I would have liked to experience the good service this company supposedly provides but apparently they are not taking on new business at this time. read more

These guys are awesome. They were very helpful and gave us very affordable pricing. They were always up front and honest. They worked in a quick and timely matter. I would defiantly bring my jet ski here again!! read more

Definitely glad I found Watercraft Direct for the repairs needed for my 1997 GTI Sea-doo. First, Justin was able to repair my ski, other shops wouldn't even work on it because it's age. Justin was able to get to the repairs quickly, I brought it in on a Monday and it was ready in two days after a list of repairs needed. Other shops were 3 weeks out. You'll be glad you came to Watercraft Direct like me. read more

I would highly recommend Watercraft Direct for the most professional, knowledgeable, courteous service I have ever experienced. The owner (on his birthday) took the time to not only diagnose our problem, but then fixed it in a matter of an hour. He was courteous and gave us many tips to prevent further problems. If you own any watercraft or need to rent this is the company you want to deal with for their honesty and service. read more

I rented a awesome Sea Doo Spark and I had a great time with my family in Laughlin. Nice customer service, awesome jet ski, zero problem!

I have owned a sea doo rxt for about 5 years. But 2 weeks ago was my first time taking it to Justin. I must say I was very satisfied with his customer service. From the way he spoke to me on the phone, from the way he greeted me in person, to the way he cautiously unloaded my sea do onto the dolly. For the first time I didn't feel I was getting ripped off either pricing wise or service wise. Other places I would wonder if they even change my plugs and they were just showing me old ones from another customer. Any way very satisfied with the service. Unfortunately I put a deep scratch on the bottom of my sea doo this weekend. I will call Justin to see if he could help me out. read more
