Washburns Boatyard LLC has to be hands-down one of the best Boat Yard’s on the East Coast. Eric and his crew are professional and courteous. We had a tricky situation with a coolant pump. Delivery of the part was expected a lot longer and it showed up pretty darn fast considering it came from Belgium. After a few trial runs everything on the boat was in working order and we were on our way. I cannot say enough for this Boat Yard. Shout out to Linda, Holly, Paul, Adam, Kevin, Chris, Alicia.

Over 1.5 yrs I had 3 vessels serviced there. 1) 72' Motor Yacht: Paint work assigned to Scott. Only a portion of the work was done but charged an astronomical amount of money. Vessel returned very dirty inside & out. Took 3 days to clean interior (doors left open during paint sanding) & 2 days to clean the exterior. Vessel owner VERY dissatisfied & expressed: Way over priced for very sub sub-par work. 2) Lcl Work Boat: Repower & R2 Searchlights: Techs assigned repower: Above & Beyond call of duty. Great job. Refused to leave original eng mount gaskets in place (tore up & needed replaced, I have pictures). Bill, WBY VP instructed it to be reused. Tech replaced w/new as should have been done. Bill provided wiring harness diagram to techs: Drawn on scratch paper, looked like a 2 yr old did it. Took techs a day to figure out proper install. They did great overcoming lack of leadership. Required multiple prop swaps to "dial in performance." Gas Shop Mgr (Paul) inst'd props backwards. Electrician: Searchlights: Terrible job w/wiring. Repower Tech redid wiring, looked great after. 3) Lcl Workboat: Bottom paint, Reopen 2 cockpit scuppers, Eng Svc: Bottom paint: Bottom Paint (yard shop) crew: Amazing, leadership: non-existent. Mgmt did not have keel blocks moved to allow painting of those spots. Charged: "Complete Job" but we received INOMPLETE work because of mgmt failure. (Have pictures). Suppers: Scott assigned: Damaged grab rail, only slapped a splash of paint to cover up damaged he created (have picture). Should have been faired, prepped & painted. Eng Svc: Manufactuer-Certified tech unable to replace impeller w/o consulting YouTube on eng's he is certified to do service on! Gas Shop no longer reliable, do NOT recommend any gas work go to there. Watch out when you go into the "Show Room" as you may trip on dog toys, step in dog poop piles or pee puddles. The white dog has been known to nip people. Summary: Yard has gone downhill. Hoped to continue to support lcl business but after all that, plus the complaints I'm getting from my associates in the industry, not any more. Will take work elsewhere. Its truly sad!

Had a short haul for a survey on a sailboat. Crane operators were helpful and friendly. Surveyor found a potential delamination spot and Scott, the boat yards fiberglass specialist was wonderful when we asked him to stop by and share his thoughts. We even called him the next day for a quote to repair the problem and he provided clear and genuine insight that helped us make the decision to buy the boat. I will be confident in bringing my boat to this team in the future. The woman working in the office was delightful too.

Would rate "0" stars if offered the option! Bill Brandon? WORST boat yard manager ever encountered. Crooked and questionable business practices are an understatement. This man is unreasonable and uncooperative. Stay far away from this place - Solomons has plenty of other wonderful boat yards and marinas!

Such a great boat yard! We limped in to get our sail drive repaired. The crew here are so knowledgeable and professional. The office staff were also kind lending us the car to get groceries.
