Salesman was nice. The boat we wanted was priced lower online. We drove several hours and when we got there the price went up! They would not sell it for the price they advertised for. Pictures made the boat look great. In person the boat was trashed. Place seemed shady.

Seattle Watersports, specifically Guy and Gino, really bailed us out of a bad situation. We were selling a boat with no trailer and our buyer (a big name boat store around here) backed out last-minute and left us scrambling. We had moorage that was expiring and a tight timeline to get it out of the water. Without a trailer, our options were pretty limited and we wanted to avoid the route where we had to buy a new trailer to sell our old boat. What a nightmare! I called up Seattle Watersports and laid it all out on the table with Gino. If you know anything about boat/car sales, you know this is usually the wrong call. You lose all your negotiating leverage if you do this. I did it anyway, and it honestly was fine. We found a price we agreed on, did a quick water test, they charged us a fair price for a couple maintenance items that had *just* become an issue in the last few weeks of owning the boat and we walked away with a check! The whole experience of selling a boat under a tight timeline was really stressful but Seattle Watersports really came through. They knew they had all the leverage but still treated us with respect and didn't try to take advantage of our situation. I was a little hesitant with these Yelp reviews but the experience we had was top notch. Other than selling our boat to them, we stopped in a few times over the years for wakeboarding gear, buoys, fenders, ropes - they have a great selection and so convenient for boaters on the north-end.

We are huge fans of Seattle Water Sports (SWS). We have purchased two brand new boats from SWS over the last decade+ and traded in one boat wtih SWS. We have always recieved top notch customer service from the entire crew there--from the sales side through supporting us as customers. SWS stores our boat every winter, we buy gear from them (boards, skis, ropes, wetsuits, etc.) in their store, have taken surf lessons and can't recommend them enough. We have a brand new MB Tomcat now for surfing. The MB boats have held up extremely well and our maintenance costs have been minimal too. We traded in our last MB after 10 years for almost as much as we paid for it originally! I know several friends who have also purchased boats from SWS. Very convienent location in Kenomore with Lake Access and large showroom with tons of gear in the showroom. Highly recommend.

We have purchased and serviced multiple boats at SWS over the last 20+ years. Mark and his team always make sure we are ready to go for summertime water adventures! We love that we can pop in the shop for knowledgable advice on equipment/supplies or schedule service and dry storage easily. Local and reliable, always my go-to for anything boating.

The service department was amazing! I bought my F21 Tomcat from Seattle Watersports over 5 years ago and they have been so easy to work with, BUT this last week they went way above and beyond my expectations! We were out on Sunday afternoon pulling a tube and I suddenly lost steering. I jumped in the water and found my rudder had fallen off. Monday morning I called Wayne in the service department he ordered my Rutter immediately and it was in by Wednesday. They had me back on the water by Friday afternoon just in time to save our Seafair weekend. We have friends in town was absolutely amazing that they were able to complete this work so quickly. Thanks Seattle Water Sports

Pretty sure the point of a boat is to float. After spending 15k on repairs here they managed to not complete the repairs properly and my boat no longer floats. Incredibly lucky we caught it seconds after putting the boat in the water or this could have resulted in injury or even death to the occupants of the boat. Incredibly disappointing that they won’t warranty their faulty work as well.

Took the boat in for a very expensive repair, wasnt put back together properly which resulted in almost sinking it after dropping it off in the water…. Telling me that theyre not responsible, horrible customer service especially after spending thousands. Stay away from this place

RIP OFF, do not rent a space to store RV here. They double charged on rental and I had to tell them to return funds, which they did finally. Once they double charged and actually caught it and reversed it themselves. But the worst was: At the end I vacated the spot notified them at the end of May. They charged rental to account. They said I did not notify them. The person in charge is, or was, difficult to reach, left messages etc. By the time I do get to speak with her, she says the charge stands and due to not giving 2 weeks notice she charged me for the next month. They took me for $510.00.

My three sons and I were launching at Kenmore ramp around 2:00 PM today (6/16/2022). Our ski boat was in the left lane off the trailer and I had just hopped onto the bow. We had a large towable behind our boat so we were trying to adjust to that situation as well as this was our second time out with the boat and being slow and methodical. We were only just drifting out when the a truck began backing into the water in the same lane and just six feet from our side (the right lane was wide open). I looked up and said "What are you doing?". He then proceeds to state that somehow the situation of his trailer being so close to my boat was my fault. Needless to say we were unnerved trying to deal with the situation which caused our boat to drift toward shore as the boat he was retrieving was behind us. My son was concerned about the line getting caught in the prop which caused us to be distracted and our prop hit ground (will need a new prop). The employee who was driving the truck and trailer , from Seattle Water Sports, was beyond unprofessional and discourteous. I hope to speak to the owner of the company.

I have been in contact with Seattle Water Sports for several years after seeing the Robalo R227 in their shop. They have been very cordial and helpful in answering questions. So when we finally decided to buy an R227 there was no question about where we would get it. Guy Filip and his crew are the CREAM OF THE CROP, when it comes to HONESTY, SINCERITY,andHARD WORKING TRANSPARENCY about every aspect of our transactions with SWS. I will continue doing business with SWS because they understand and listen to their customers needs and desires!!SEATTLE WATER SPORTS IS, IN MY OPINION, THE BEST BOAT DEALER IN THE COUNTRY!!! BOB M.

Stay away if you are buying a new boat! They will have you sign a contract and make a 25% deposit. Then they will delay delivery for months and raise the price on you!!! They will give you bad information about when your boat will be built. They told me that mine was not done and it could be a couple of more months. I called the factory to find out my boat had been finished for a while and they were waiting on the dealership to finalize shipping!!!

Bought a brand new Chapparal from SWS, couple summers ago! Love the boat and the joy it brings to our family.As happens with boats, we’ve had a couple things come up. One insurance, and one warranty.The follow through service has been tremendous. Getting us back on the water.From sales, to service. Top notch operation. We recommend with five stars. Thanks SWS!
