Belmont Boat Service

I brought in Ski Supreme boat a couple times in the past two years. Belmont Boat has provided excellent service. They are honest genuine people who will take care of your boat for a reasonable price. They provide quality and speedy service. I highly recommend Belmont Boat Service for your boat needs.

Been a customer for long time. No regrets. Rich and the guys are friendly and help out anyway they can. Don’t waste your time at other boat shops, especially American Star Mickey Mouse Marine!

After searching for a trustworthy Evinrude dealership, I’m so glad I found Belmont Boat Service. I did find several other dealerships around the Bay Area, but this was the most reasonable.
I wanted to repower my Boston Whaler montauk with a new Evinrude E-​tec. I called Rich and got a quote and brought the boat in. A few weeks later, I got the boat back and everything was completed as I had requested.
Rich is straight forward and very helpful with recommendations. I hope they’ll be around for a long time. It’s hard to find a mechanic you can trust.

I just had my little 1.5 Johnson Sea Horse motor serviced here and I’m very happy with the service. They had a lot of business from the looks of their shop but were still willing to squeeze me in. Richard helped me out and answered any questions That I had about my motor and also gave me some pointers. I’ll be taking my dinghy out this weekend and I can’t wait to run my outboard.

It was my first time there last weekend and the guys were great. After the repair he asked me what the brass nuts were on the floor of my boat. I did not know and just figured someone thru them in there while in dry dock. After I got home he called back to look at my engine mounts. Low and behold someone tried to steal my engine and could not get the lower bolts off. He saved my butt… Good job guys for going the extra mile!!!

BBS is top notch. I have an old direct drive tournament boat and BBS have been more than competent in handling the mechanical issues. The work gets done as expected. It’s also apparent that they are ethical and not looking to ‘find’ problems. They get my recommendation without hesitation.

Totally Happy with my experience
After getting a bad story from an online seller whom I purchased a used Mercury engine from (not BBS), I brought this problem Mercury outboard to Belmont Boat and was treated with honesty about its condition.
Long story short is the guys at BBS gave me good info and I have a great running tender outboard. They get my business and referrals from here on out.
Thanks guys! Todd

BB has done everything from yearly winterizing and small repairs (such as starter replacement and thermostat) to large engine work on our inboard Ski Sanger and we continue to been impressed every time.
Not only do they know their stuff they take pride in the work they return to you. They always explain thing clearly and answer questions with real answers.
Wouldn’t bring our boat anywhere else!

Belmont Boat Service is a reliable & trustworthy business! They are a company who truly care about their customers & extend their customer service even AFTER the sale. My father passed away after purchasing a boat motor before he could use it & Belmont Boat Service was nice enough to allow our family to bring the motor back and stage it in their store while they attempted to sell it on our behalf. Knowing nothing about boat motors & having to deal with other family matters… This was a blessing. Belmont Boat Service’s kindness & continued assistance is a rare & respectable trait nowadays! I highly recommend them!

My small 2 stroke O/​B was running poorly, they adjusted the carb and now it runs very good. Very fair price, very friendly and helpful. Not sure I could ever give anyone a perfect 5.

These guys are the best. We’re very lucky to have them in our area! They really know their stuff. The stock all kinds of stuff I need that nobody else even carries. They’re fast and reliable, and most of all they’ve got a really great mindset… that is, they want to help you.
They’ve save a couple of vacations for me by going way beyond the level of service I would normally expect from anyone.
Oh, and their prices are the best too.

There is another significant day in a Boat Owner’s life …
…in addition to the day we buy them and the day we sell them is the day we pick them up from Rich at Belmont Boat Service.
We are about to leave for a week of boating when I happened across another service in San Mateo. Thinking the «insurance of a service was a good idea, I made an appointment on the spot to bring my boat back… then I looked at Unilocal.Only one review and it was bad but it mentioned Belmont… who until now had two reviews both positive. I called and spoke with John-​not the most effusive person I’ve ever met manning the counter — and they said they could work me in.
I dropped it off this morning as agreed at 9 in hopes of getting back „No later than tomorrow“ so I could have it ready before vaca…, went home, traded cars, went to office (in SJ) started a meeting with a colleague when the phone rang. „Hello?:…“Boat’s Ready.“ and that pretty much ended the conversation with the ever-​chatty John.
I showed up just before 5 and purposely strolled through the work area and struck up a conversation with the mechanic I had seen doctoring a boat this morning…» Did you do the service on the Sea Ray?” I asked? Had a great conversation with Rich about my boat, the service, the specific components [boat-​gear head stuff] and was please to engage in a multisyllabic conversation using complete sentences which reported a clean bill of health.
No muss, no fuss, no hype, no phone call to tell me all the things they «Found» to be wrong and asking for permission to replace the integral part while the out-​drive or motor is obliterated across the shop floor…
I haven’t run the boat to comment on that very important element but I am confidant I will be as pleased with the function as I am with the service so far. (thus ⁴⁄₅ stars)
If your boat is I/​O, IB or OB, Rich seems to know his stuff. Chatty John seems to run the full chandlery complete with the props, parts and the new Evinrude E-​Tek outboards (We have on our Whaler. unfortunately the etek requires almost ZERO service so I won’t see them with that for a while ;-)

I took my old 64 nauset with a 70 hp evinrude to them awhile back when it would bog when put in gear. They redid the carbs and the thing ran like a raped ape, awesome place. But you may want to book an appointment with time as they were booked when I called them. I will be taking my 13ft whaler sport to them soon!
Well took my 13ft Whaler to them with a problem. They fixed it the same day. Changed my coil, they found out my water pump had gone out (and replaced it) and changed my gear oil. All this on the 2^nd of July (I was sweating bullets that they wouldn’t have it ready by the 4^th when we were gonna go out and see the fireworks in it)

These guys rock! They are super friendly, and I’ve never seen any service shop more willing to help. We take our Whaler here when ever we have an issue we can’t handle. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of service you get here. I know that when it’s time to repower, I’m here and not over at Outboard Motor Shop in Oakland.
