Chris & team are the epitome of straight shooters, and really good at what they do. The quotes are always within reason, and Ive never had any surprises. Most importantly, theyve earned my trust. When I did my get it running appointment (couple years back) on an 80s Evinrude outboard that had sat for 10+ years, I was shocked to get a call saying it didnt actually need the carb rebuild that they initially recommended based on the timeline. I got my boat back within days, running perfectly, and for less money than I expected to pay. Fast forward to 21, when they called saying they needed to go a bit deeper on a different job to get it right, knowing I could trust them made the spend substantially less painful.

Brett at CJ Marine is honest, to the point and efficient. Brett did a well done job the two times I’ve taken my Crownline 240 EX to his shop. He was able to fit me into his schedule at short notice which is not common yet was extremely appreciated. We all wana be on the lake. Thanks to a solid connection like Brett and the fellas @ CJ Marine - I feel great knowing I’ll always get back on the water is my boat has any problems.

To the fella at the front desk....all i asked was for the best price and the guy was too lazy to make a call and find out how much on top of telling me he doesnt play that game. WHO DOESNT LOOK FOR THE BEST PRICE ???? very rude and not professional. Count me out for using them ever...

Thank you Chris and CJ Marine! My 2005 Kawasaki jet ski was having some major acceleration and idling issues. Had already taken it to another water craft servicing facility without success. CJ on the other hand identified the problem within five minutes! My jet ski is now back on the water performing better than ever. Highly recommend Chris and CJ Marine! Thank you.

Great value and fast turnaround! I dropped my 20ft Glasply off on a Tuesday and it was done on Friday. The original verbal estimate was around $1500 to pull the motor and replace the ring gear as the starter had stripped out the teeth. Including parts, a sump pump service and a float switch wiring hook up, the bill came to a little over $1200. I was very pleased and would use them again in an instant.

This shop is amazing! I brought in my Regal to have it re-powered. Joe and Chris walked me through the entire process, and answered any questions that I had with knowledge and honesty. I had priced the job with other shops and CJ Marine came in at a competitive price and ended up finishing in half the time as other shops had promised. I am completely satisfied with the work that was done, and will be using this shop for any repairs or service in the future! Looking forward to the fun times that will be had this summer with our boat! Thanks again CJ Marine! I Highly recommend them!

These guys are great! I have been taking my boats to them for the past 8 years now and have also bought parts and a fishing boat from them. I know them to be honest, fair, friendly and very knowledgable. would highly recommend them for your boating needs!

I signed over my 25 cabin cruiser to this company to sell. They offered to clean the boat since it was not in pristine condition. I agreed. 8 months later, the boat had not sold and I was given the choice of picking it up or paying for storage. I opted to have the boat picked up. What was delivered was unbelievable, not only had the boat not been thoroughly cleaned, everything had been removed. Fenders, mooring ropes, my old grille, bedding, kitchen utensils, table pole, emergency equipment; basically anything not bolted down. Their official story was company policy was to leave everything on the boat. Though nothing was left on boat at arrival. Stay away from this company or be prepared to replace everything at your own cost.

These guys are hacks. I asked them to look over an old boat I purchased. I told them I had a 1000 limit on repairs. I specifically asked one of the owners to put all his attention aka money into the motor. They looked at the boat got back to me saying the motor needed a water pump and a standard summer tune up. They then (with my approval) did 1100 in repairs to the rest of the boat. When I put it in the water it literally ran for 4 minutes before the motor completely melted down. Luckily I had paddles with me to make it back to shore. When I took it back they kept the boat for two weeks without calling me back. I finally called them to find out the motor was dead. They claim the thermostat wasnt working. Clearly they only ran the motor for a few seconds or it would have melted down in their shop. I am guessing that it is more likely they put the wrong water pump in it. Either way they said I was being rude for being upset about them not checking the motor properly. I basically spent 1100 with them and ended up with less of a boat then I started with.

WARNING - CUSTOMERS BE WARE!!! This place should be steered clear of. I have tried twice to purchase merchandise here only to have the old bait and switch. When I call the employees are nice enough with decent pricing, when I show up the parts are damaged and scattered, the store is a mess, the price went up both times, and I am pretty sure the guy I tried to talk to last time was still wasted from either the night before or a morning drink.There is a great shop in Olympia (Toms) or in Centralia (Olympic), and take your pick in Seattle/ Tacoma. Just stay away from this one.

CJ Marine has done all the annual maintaince and major repairs on both my boats and trailers for the last ten years. This includes both inboards and outboards (including a jet pump), as well as the installation of new electronics. There has never been an upcharge during their busy season to get you back on the water in front of other customers, they just work longer hours. The owners are both mechanics with many years of experience and because of that, you receive their analysis of your options and recommendations well in advance of any service work. As a result, I will continue - as I have for many years - to recommend CJ Marine to all my boating friends. Thank you CJ Marine.Duane S., Bellevue
