Twin Anchor Boats & Yachts

Terrible… No, AWFUL! Stay away!
They only have like three old boats for sale, service knowledge is a joke, the place is quiet as a morgue, and just filthy dirty.
These guys are buffoons.

Terrible service. I am a consultant and I stopped in after a meeting with the CFO of one of the neighboring businesses. My partner and I moved down here recently and no longer are able to use the patents boat — time to buy our own woo-​hoo. The guy at the counter «John» was very stand off’ish. No eye contact, would not answer my questions. I asked for an owner or manager because of the attitude — he had told me he was just the admin guy. I was shocked looking at the website and learning that that jerk was the owner. This place is a joke.

I brought my boat in for service; I had been having problems with the trim on my boat for close to 12 months. I previously brought my boat to another boat repair shop on two separate occasions for the same issue, spent ~$ 800 and the problem was never fixed.
I was ready to drive up to Newport Beach to a Chris Craft Dealer, but decided to try out Twin Anchor as they are near my office.
Twin Anchor was able to assess the problem and repair the trim switch for a total cost of ~$ 65; I wish I would have tried them earlier, I would have saved $ 800 and had an operable trim for the past 12 months!
Thanks Twin Anchor!

I have owned boats in San Diego for many years. This is one of the first times I feel truly welcomed and appreciated as a customer. There are several other very good repair places, but what I love here is the incredible service, the attention to the customer, and the excellent location, right on my way to the beach! Parking is also extremely easy with a drive-​through service area.
The guys in service are simply very good at what they do. And I have never had to wait, which means a lot to me. Rick has tons of experience and it shows. They have even made «simple» fixes for free when I had no idea what was wrong, and that meant a lot to me. My recommendation to other San Diegan’s is to give them a try and I think they will be pleasantly surprised.

I’ve had my boat serviced their twice at the beginning of the last two seasons and they did a fantastic job. I brought my boat in on a Thursday and it was done on Friday. I highly recommend this place to get your boat serviced. Other places couldn’t get me in unless I made an appointment months in advance

(boat ended up selling, but after many months of $ 150 month storage… so I didn’t get to keep much after paying storage fees and commission — but it sold, so that’s good, right?)
Something shady going on here with their consignment boat sales. I’ve got the impression they don’t do what they say they are going to do and basically just collect the monthly storage rent. Not to mention they specifically disparaged my boat to a potential buyer — who ended up buying another boat elsewhere.
This review is for their consignment services only.
Wait, actually I have a comment on their service as well. As part of the consignment arrangement, they also made me get service review completed. They ended up telling me about $ 600 of work was needed, however I know they didn’t catch a rather obvious issue. That being said, I wonder if they even know what they are doing on the service side either.
I’d go with ONE-​STAR, but at least they are nice guys. Maybe that reason alone should have been a red flag.
