Being a new boat owner, the people here have been very helpful explaining what they were doing and why it needed to be done. I felt like they were giving the same level of attention to my little sailboat as they give to the massive yachts that seem to be the bulk of their business. Very pleasant people to work with from the guy operating the lift, to the mechanics and office staff.
We have enjoyed storing our boat at this location (Channel Islands Landing) for a couple years but that abruptly stopped today. I was verbally disrespected by the NEW Dockmaster Robert and told to leave the property even though Ive paid through all of May 2021. The way this person conducts themselves is completely unprofessional and does not belong dealing with paying customers.It is unbelievable that someone would act in such a way while conducting business. He gave us NO/Zero reason as to why we would no longer be able to store our boat and instead hung up on me when I called back.Customer beware, they will not treat you with respect nor care about your business.Robert should be ashamed of himself.This is only the beginning, as we plan to file a lawsuit through small claims court, as our vessel was left outside of security, unattended for days. Not to mention weve already paid through May (considered a contract).Find any and all locations to store your vessel, other than at the Channel Islands Landing.
We had a boat pulled out to survey bottom, Pete was fantastic and super helpful. Honest people. Great Service. Definitely would use them again.
I was very please with all the people I came in contact with. The service was great, they did exactly what I wanted at the price they quoted and finished the boat as they promised on time. Best boat service in Oxnard!
Pete Perez is a godsend. So happy and positive the whole way through the haul-out. My first boat haul-out and he was so informative the whole time. Went off without a hitch, and was very cool to see him work! Extremely efficient.
I got the bottom painted on my 27 ft sailboat at the Boat Yard. Good work at a fair price. Ill be back.
I have nothing but positive things to say about Mike and Joe who run the office. They are kind, communicative, and fair. They always kept me up to date with the repairs on my boat and were more than willing to explain any repairs that I needed with my boat. Jody, who worked on the boat, was incredible. The guy knows boats and has a natural mechanical mind. They have a customer for life in me and I 100% recommend this yard for boat repairs!
Fair price..expert service..and they were nice...
The staff was accurate on the estimate and very helpful. I was back in the water for the holiday weekend. I highly recommend The Boat Yard.
Great experience at this yard! I store my boat in the dry storage and Renee and Pete are always very friendly and more than willing to lend a helping hand! Whenever I go to the yard Joe is always very helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks guys! Dave - Parasail
Weve been going to The Boat Yard with 2 of our boats for years. Our recent experience was as good as in the past. Great boat yard, fair pricing and very professional.
I received the absolute best service; bottom painting and service of engine shaft seal. Always a great experience. Thank you.
Ive had the pleasure to work with Mike and the staff from THE BOAT YEAR Channel Island. I can only praise their professionalism. I had my boat delivered to them for mast stepping and launching into the water. Theyve done a phenomenal job in accommodating all my requests - even the special ones ;-). I would do business with them every time again. Additionally, their prices were reasonable.
A lot has changed since all the 5 star reviews were posted. The old doc master was replaced, they raised all of their prices. Oh speaking of Dave, he was nice at first but his real character showed over time, he isnt a good doc master. Take your business elsewhere if you can.
What a great experience I had replacing a motor at the Boat Yard. The team was fantastic, helpful and professional. They cared very much that I was taken care of and held my hand through many projects. An amazingly talented group of technicians.Mark, thanks for the morning smile, Mike X 2, thanks for the crane work. very cool and precise, and the nuts and boats. Danery, thank you for the lift and the smile every morning, Viva Honduras and certainly a big thank you to Craig for the support through the whole process. See you in January...
What an unbelievable experience.....from knowledgeable assessment to quality execution. Joe, was a man of his word and followed through all the way. I would highly recommend the Boat Yard for anybody looking for bottom paint or any exterior boat projects (we did trim tab work and new dripless PSS shaft seals). Being a long time boater, I would travel for this level of service and quality.Thank you Boat Yard!RegardsMichael
I am the Owner of Marine Solutions in Ventura Ca.I have had the Pleasure of working with the General Manager (Joe Camello) and all of the other staff at The Boat Yard Channel Islands. They are professional and diligent with the projects that I have entrusted to them on behalf of my customers. I would recommend that anyone in need of a very good Boat Yard for there Yachting needs to contact them...Vince, owner Marine Solutions
Very happy with the boat service, thank you Joe
Hands down the best boatyard in Ventura
These people told me to my face that my boat weighed over 2,000 lbs. more than it actually does, and their crane cant lift it anymore. So, taking them at their word, I moved the boat to a new harbor at double the monthly cost. Looks like they have some good reviews, but my brother-in-law, an LAPD diver, once told me: Theres only one thing you can be sure of when dealing with a liar.....their gonna lie to ya.
Lifted my boat out of the water for an inspection, held it, then then returned it to the water. Very professional and took a lot of care to make sure everything went right.
Very solid experience in all aspects from beginning to end. Thank you.
Best place friendly staff beautiful grounds all around just a wonderful beautiful place to be highly recommend having your boat here
Great experience! We highly recommend for all your haul out needs.
Great place to take your boat off the water and fix it up. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. If you need to dry dock come here.
Joe and Mike are super nice friendly people. Great service.
I recently hauled out my boat for long overdue bottom paint. After checking with the yards in Ventura and Channel Islands harbor I decided to use Channel Islands Boat Yard after talking with the General Manager, Joe Camello. Joe impressed me with his knowledge and aspiration for doing quality work and having repeat customers. Joe inspected my boat and recommended repairs. He advised me and updated me on the progress. I left the yard with high confidence in the repairs and felt that it was accomplished at a fair and reasonable cost. When I need work done in the future I will contact Joe Camello at Channel Islands Boat Yard.
Brought in my 45 Cabo Express. I normally keep it in San Pedro so there are options up and down the coast. The job was not an easy one. Sea Keeper 6 install, Hydraulic Rupp spreaders. 3D fishfinders and the normal bottom paint and general maintenance. Decided to bring it up to the Boat Yard, easier for the SeaKeeper install and Channel Coast Marine had done work for me before. The experience at the Boat Yard was first class. Joe Comello did a great job coordinating all the work. Not only was the work done well, Joe stepped up and provided straightforward solutions for minor issues. The Boat Yard didnt just do the work, they paid attention to the small stuff and for that I am grateful. Didnt matter if the challenge was big or small, The Boat Yard did a great job of getting it done the right way at a fair price. I know I have options to go North or South. I am like a lot of boaters out there, having worked hard to get a boat to enjoy and take care of. For my money and for the quality of work I want for my boat, The Boat Yard in Channel Islands has my business. The boat turned out great and in a small way, I think each one of the guys in the Boat Yard treated her like she was their own. Thanks. See you for the next haul out...
Recently I had my 51 ft sailboat hauled out at the boat yard. I was amazed at their new travel lift. It easily hauled my boat out of the water and I did not have to take my radar stand down or remove my backstay.They took my shaft out and inserted new cutless bearings, repaired my maxi-prop, inserted a new PSS dripless shaft kit and found numerous other problems that I was not aware and they fixed them. Brad Hawes their general manager overlooked their very skilled staff to insure that everything was done correctly. They did this at a very fair price.They did an excellent job and I highly recommend them to othersLes Hribarowner Swan 51
