I needed voyage repairs done on my 2020 Ranger Tug “Coco Loco” this past summer. The steering went out about a mile from the Solomon’s harbor Maryland. Washburn’s was available and Boat US gave me a tow to their dock. Needed to rent a car to drive home and the owner Eric was kind enough to have one of his staff drive my wife to the rental car office location in Lexington. Upon inspection they found a potentially catastrophic leak in my engine turbo aftercooler which needed to be repaired prior to investigating the steering issues. Since the engine has a 5 year warranty. The staff at Washburns was dogged in following up with Volvo to get warranty credit on the aftercooler part and repairs. Additional work completed included a corrosion cleanup from the aftercooler leak, new steering pump, replacing the zincs, cleaning and repainting the bottom with anti fouling paint, and prop kit for prop and rudder. Their work was all done professionally and to my high standards. Eric, Bill and Linda are real pros, honest and communicate well with their customers. Bill and Eric even called me during one of the sea trials to talk me through what they were seeing. The bottom line is, I highly recommend Washburns in the Solomon’s for your boat repairs and maintenance.Service: General repairs & maintenance

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.Service: Engine repair

Was Chesapeake cruising and needed service on my fresh water system. Washburns jumped right on it, got the parts quickly and their very competent staff quickly made the repair as soon as the parts came in. Tough to find service like that on the Chesapeake unfortunately. I have my boat north of the Bay bridge, 60 miles away from Washburns. But based on this experience, anytime I need service of any significance, it will be worth the effort to take my boat there as so-called service marinas and shops won't even return messages in the Baltimore or Annapolis areas.

WBY came recommended to me after a bad experience at Safe Harbor Marina, Solomons island, MD (formerly Zahnisers). WBY did get some of the items on my list done, but at the end of the day, the quality of the work and the costs were a disappointment. Waterway Guide in the first sentence of an article stated (paraphrased): When facing major work on your boat, choose your repair shop wisely and work closely with them. As a transient and out of state during the repair work, you better accept that you are way behind the curve and have to play with the cards that you are dealt.Service: General repairs & maintenance
