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!

Started a trailer brake project and needed to replace 2 drums and 2 hubs. Thought about ordering…read moreonline but most venders a week out for delivery and shipping was pretty steep due to weight. I stopped by outboard motor shop and they had a set of 10" drums on the shelf as well as a set of hubs. Talked to Matt in parts and he gave me a screaming deal on everything. Nice shop with a selection of most boat and trailer parts. Needed brake line kit as well, but what they had did not fit my need. No biggy, I well ordered that from amazon 1 day delivery. If looking for a tough to find part or have project don't forget about this shop. They got some of everything and may have that hard to find part or piece.

A few years ago they sold us a boat that was not at all appropriate for the SF Bay waters and they overcharged us. (I later found a price sticker on the boat with a lower price). We were neophytes at the time. Live and learn! One reason that I go back is that they are the only Boston Whaler (a great boat) dealer in town.

Their communication is broken with no information being utilized in either direction. Their pricing is predatory with additional charges, exorbitant charges added later.

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!!

**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.
