Great boat shop

Nice place, nice people. A destination between fresh and salt waters for repairs and parts!

We have a 26 foot Blackman Billfisher powered by a volvo penta diesel engine and have trusted Pawel and Kozwell to keep us fishing for more than 12-years. Pawel and Lance are knowledgeable and professional and got our recent issues fixed quickly so we could get back to fishing! Lance recently replaced our batteries, installed a new shift control lever, and a new shift actuator. My Dad, close family friend Doug, and I took the boat out after these repairs and ran into some paddy yellowtail and a nice grade of yellowfin tuna out past San Clemente Island. It sure is nice to be 70-miles from shore, pulling on fish while the sun is going down, and have full confidence in our boats ability to get us back to the dock. The team at Kozwell is awesome and I highly recommend them to others looking for a solid shop to keep their boat running well.

These guys are the real deal. Re-power and service/repair specialists for Volvo Penta and other marine power systems. Family owned and operated. The facility if very nice and their experts have decades of experience. Kozwel was very willing to answer my self service questions even making recommendations for brands of oil to use. I really appreciate the professionalism and support they offer. Kozwel is willing to go the extra mile.

I have a Tiara with twin Crusader XLi engines. I have relied exclusively on Kozwel over the last 9 years for parts and maintenance. Recently, I had a catastrophic engine failure and Kozwel assisted me in the re-power. With Pawel’s help, I was able to purchase a NEW engine and refit for below rebuild prices! As in the past, they have demonstrated a unique and comprehensive understanding of Crusader and marine engine issues when it matters the most. Kozwel delivered a new GM Base engine and the necessary Crusader parts at or below online prices but also provided invaluable consulting. I would not go anywhere else!

These are real pros. I wouldnt trust anyone else with my Volvo Penta engines. Also, I got stranded at Catalina Island and they jumped through hoops to get parts shipped over there. Good people, great mechanics!

Kozwell Boatworks dedicated hours of their time at no charge to help me with making a decision to purchase a vessel they were familiar with. The seller of the boat had the highest recommendation possible for them based on his many positive repair/refit experiences in their shop. When its time for any major work on my Volvo Penta diesel system, I would use them without hesitation.

Great People! Great service! Departed on Tuesday morning after Labor Day from Newport to Catalina. The boat alarm sounded and engines went into limp mode. After several phone calls to my service providers in my home port in San Diego, I was giving the number for Nathan at Kozwel Boatworks. Nathan had a full day of work scheduled but offered to meet me in the Marina in Newport that same morning! Nathan and the owner,Pawel Kozinski worked together to diagnose the problem, overnight the parts and call in a favor with the local Boatyard to lift the boat out of the water for repair to the stern drive. They showed true compassion and professionalism to help get me back underway. Good guys! good job!

Excellent service, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Recommend highly

Over priced, bad quality work. I paid for some services that was never performed.

Excellent Boat Work
