Vee Jay Marine Services

Just picked up my 2010 X2Mastercraft. It was my first time going to Vee Jay Marine. Searched long and hard for a place to take by boat. I try to take very good care of it. The transom had faded from the sun, took it to Vee Jay Marine and I am 100% happy with the way my Boat came out. Their customer service is fantastic. He kept in touch with me the whole time he had. My boat told me about the progress that was going on. He sold me a new swim deck that came out fantastic. I highly recommend, these guys to do any kind of work on your boat.
Thank you, Jonathan

While I still have my boat on the hard, I really want to give a review for Vee Jay's. I bought a 1976 Challenger 32 into their yard for a bottom job and engine work, as the boat was new to me and I wanted to be sure these two items were the first things completed on the to do list.

Arturo, Christina and the crew have taken great care of my baby. Knowing I had a strict budget, the folks at this yard worked with me so that I could have her dialed in for this coming racing season while knowing she was also safe. This included installing new plumbing, replacing a very worn stuffing box, new bilge pump and topsides. After discussing with them the cost of having the work done over time with multiple haul outs we worked out a schedule to have the work done as I could afford it, without incurring a ton of lay days while waiting. Dollar for dollar this worked out great for me. THANK YOU!!

I was hesitant, always having boats hauled by bigger names in the Bay, but our boat is at the Pittsburg Marina, so it was a matter of convenience as well.

Arturo himself walked me through every phase, showing me what his team found and offering solutions that would fit my budget. I trust his work and his word. Playing dumb a few times, (I have been sailing 40+ years) I asked him to explain things and he was all about boiling it down so that even a new sailor could understand.

If you want integrity, honesty and the feeling you are working with a good friend, this is the place to go. Oh and when I went to check how much water she took on after the storms, I found the bow of my boat lifted on the stand just enough to make sure any water that made its way inside didn't sit there for long. THAT IS A YARD THAT TAKES CARE OF YOU!

Thanks again everyone there, you will always be my go to for any project that comes up in the future.

Frank and Vince are here because they love their customers and jobs. 1st time here and I can say I was impressed with the attention they gave me. I was in the process of buying my 1st boat, didn't know what to look for. The shop was booked and he wouldn't be able to get to it for a month or so. I wanted them to give it an inspection before purchase and establish some routine maintenance. He agreed if I left it he could check the compression and go from there. 2 days latter he called me back they were able to do the inspection told me the boat was in great condition and gave me an estimate for the maintenance I wanted done and preventative items and suggestions.

Before I knew it I had bought a boat. Vee Jay was able to get my boat fixed and ready before Memorial Day weekend a whole 2 weeks early. She runs like a champ. Hope I won't go back any time soon but when I do need too I know where I am going without a doubt. So far this summer put about 30 hours on her.

Thank you Frank and Vince.

Had a fuel delivery issue and took my boat in to Vee Jay Marine. The problem was quickly identified and the guys took care of it promptly. Had to leave the boat at the shop until I could pick it up (I was in the beginning of my work week). They kept the boat indoors the whole time and it was well protected from the environment and the hull work (sanding/spraying). Picked up my boat in great condition and clean. Very happy with my service and the price was right. Do not hesitate to take your boat to Vee Jay.

Bad fix in water pipes. I asked if they would stand behind their repair work and they said "yes". I never heard back from them. I called several times and emailed. If I got them on the phone they would say, "We are really busy."

They charged me for replacement Genset battery and claimed it was two years old. I showed them receipt from previous year they had installed it. Vince was nice and said "no problem". He would credit it back. Never received credit.

Neighbors who have had work done there since report they are really busy and one guy reported it took 4 months to get his repair done. They just jump from one project to another.

Frank, reportedly, is retired and doesn't even work there any more.

Called and asked for estimate on bottom paint and they said they were busy and hung up.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business! A quick shout out to the entire Staff at Vee Jay..... your AWESOME! I was taking on a LOT of water due to a spun shaft seal (I thought). When I spoke to Vince, he was very knowledgeable and told me to get boat to him ASAP and he will stop what he's doing and do an emergency haul out which he did.

Upon his diagnoses of issue, he determined the shaft seal and cover were not torn and therefore salvageable. VERY honest!! He could of told me a much worst story and I would of paid whatever he said. But he did not.... that's integrity!!

After doing business here for 8 years with several different boats, I have NEVER been disappointed in the service, professionalism and reasonable prices.

They have a complete disregard of the neighborhood. They have a alarm system the goes off at the middle of the night 11:00 PM 3:00AM and to be honest I don't think there alarm system works.

Not sure if illegal activity is going on there but that faulty alarm definitely can be the cause. I considered using there storage area but no thank you. Good luck if you store anything there at there storage facility! Fix your ALARM SYSTEM it's been 2 months now. Enough is enough!

This is by far the best boat repair facility in the bay area. I took in a 2006 Bayliner 175 for a diagnostic. Frank was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly honest. I would highly recommend this place for all of your boating needs. I also will be telling all of my family and friends. The price was also extremely reasonable.

I have to tell ya.. Frank and his staff are the best... They always take care of me with the best of services and options.... Thank you Frank and team.....
Awesomeness

I aM in the process of researching and buying used motor boat. I made several calls to Vee Jays for assistance in what to look for with regards to a i/o motor (bad signs/good signs/how to test, questions to ask). I did take Vince's valuable time, but I must say, pure genuine, expert, and a great resource to have. He gave me the best advice and also gave me time to show him pictures of the boat and saved me thousands of dollars. When I do make my purchase, I will be a client knowing that Vince is 100% invested with his community and will not steer you wrong.
