Oyster Cove Boatworks and Yacht Brokerage

I have brought my boat in for winterization for the past 3 years.Last year I don't think they actually did the full service.In April when I took the boat out I started having fuel related problems. Issues pointed to the VST filter. They quoted me 1200 to repair because it was an 8 hour job. I spoke with another Mechanic and he fixed it in 2 hours for 250 plus parts. His comment was the I needed to stabilize the fuel when I winterize. I just winterized for this year. I put 40 hours on the engine. My mechanic doesn't think they replaced the oil last year. He thinks they just spun a new filter on and charged me for full service.Lesson is you can't trust anyone and if you do trust you still need to verify .

I did a repower to my 1988 Mako in 2018, service was on point, communication was consistent and they did an A+ job all the way around, even took care of a few proactive items that I wouldn't have noticed. Years later, I had an exhaust corrosion issue and they went to bat for me to get Yamaha warranty to take care of the problem. I'm glad I am working with a family business, they treated me like I was part of theirs.

They are irresponsible. They sell boats that are unsafe. My wife was literally blown off the boat after filling it with gas. Didn't even have a chance for a maiden voyage. Never even reached out & still in business. Buyer beware
