SEA Marine 419 Jackson Street, Port Townsend, WA 98368

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Sandy to sell our sailboat. Although our boat wasn’t going to command a large price, Sandy treated us as if she were selling a mega-yacht. She was fun, professional, super knowledgeable, quick to respond, and very engaged throughout the process. She owns her own boat, is attuned to the local market, and has relationships with interested buyers and local contacts. Sandy also has the full power of the Sea Marine professional services to offer. Sandy gave great tips to prepare the boat for sale and was able to quickly schedule service items with the pros at Sea Marine. Sandy dealt with the usual roadblocks and paperwork issues in seamless fashion. I found every aspect of working with her deeply satisfactory. And did I mention fun? With Sandy’s guidance, we had a quick and painless sale; and we sold to a couple delighted to have our boat. Sandy more than earned the commission; I would go to her for any future transaction. As a side note we had our boat stored at Sea Marine for several seasons and the entire staff, both yard and office, were a DELIGHT to deal with. I completely recommend both Sandy and Sea Marine."

"We bought a very special boat that Sandy at Sea Marine brokered. I was difficult at times, but she was always patient and helped us at every step along the way. Chris was awesome, too! Saved our bacon with knowledge and expertise I don't have. We had the canvas shop reupholster the interior of the boat. Holy wow!! I've never seen better workmanship! And they pushed to get it done asap. None better than Sea Marine imo. We love those guys!!!"

"We came to Sandy, SeaMarine’s Broker, in a difficult situation. She was empathetic, honest and supported us through our boat sale from start to finish. Her expert insight and constant communication made the process seamless and stress free. I can’t recommend Sandy highly enough, we are so thankful we selected her as our Broker."

"I had a very bad experience using Sea Marine to perform bottom painting of my boat. For reference, it is a Bayliner 2452 so not a lot of painting required. - Initial setting up of an appointment delayed because the person I was working with exited the company without letting me know so the paperwork (contract & insurance forms) were never processed. - Boat delivered on March 7th and I was told it would be done on March 23rd. I finally got the boat back on May 4th. Other work scheduled with another contractor no longer able to be done due to my appointment missed. - Wife picked up the boat for me the first time and when I checked it after work, they had not prepped and painted the areas where the support blocks were. Still the old paint and barnacle spots. Had put a 12" scratch in the new paint on the starboard side when loading it on the trailer. - Took 4 days for them to respond to my emails & phone calls about how it would be fixed. During this whole process, most of my phone calls voice mails were never returned. Very hard to get ahold of. - Took the boat back for fixing the missed areas. Finally called them to see if it was done since they never inform me even though they say they will. They had run out of the BLUE paint that they originally used and decided to paint the areas missed with BLACK paint. They thought this was OK. Nope, I had them fix it correctly. Another delay. - Painted my depth finder transducer and stainless steel trim tabs. Not sure why. - Charged me 5 extra "laydays" for supposedly awaiting parts. This was for a tachometer that needed replacing that they never ordered until I asked about it...long after the boat was already supposed to be done. I even researched the part and sent them the information on what to purchase. They reluctantly removed this charge. - Never once assisted my wife with loading and unloading the boat. As I was working, she had to help out and did an awesome job!! Needless to say, in my opinion, this was horrible service and I would never take my boat back to them. I would not recommend you do either. To quote Chris Bakken, the General Manager, in an email he sent me, "You are welcome to your opinion." Yes I am. Being in the customer service business myself, I am just amazed at how poorly they treated this customer."

"Just had new bottom paint on our trawler by SEA Marine in Port Hudson WA. Extremely pleased with the efficient service, from the appointment, the estimate, haul out, prep and painting, and back in the water. SEA Marine has excellent people in the office and in the yard. My trawler was back in the water on the day promised. Chris' advice on the type of bottom paint best for my trawler helped me choose wisely. SEA Marine means excellent service. Thanks all."
