  Our 80 Hatteras had major prop and shaft issues. The men at PYS were fantastic in taking care of our boat. They worked great with our schedule. Communication was stellar sharing pics and daily information. I recommend them to any yacht that needs service..... and ask for Rob.

  Service department is terrible. Never answer the phone, never return voice mails. How does this place make money if no one answers the phone to schedule service needs. If they don't care about answering the phone or returning calls....the work they do probably will be of the same quality.

  I took my boat out of the water for winter at Portland Yacht Services. I was allowed to work on my boat there. I had a survey done on my boat prior to buying my boat. The insurance company told me to discontinue old unused threw holes so I took out the threw hulls to fiberglass them over. When I went down to check to see if Portland Yacht Services had covered my boat like they were supposed to. My boat was gone, so I went in the office to ask where my boat was. They asked who I was and the name of my boat, so I told them. They said they launched it and towed it to their other facility. When I got down to their other facility, there was my boat, sunk. They did not call me. Their contract says they can only move a boat, without permission, for the boat show or flower show, neither was going on at this time. PYS says they follow ABYC Standards which states all bilges have to be checked for standing water and tight threw hulls... the door on my boat was locked. They did not check anything. They launched my boat to take out the Harvey Gamage. The owner of this boat is Phineas Sprague, the owner of PYS. PYS pickled the engines and dry cleaned the cushions and mattresses. They never changed any wires or rebuilt any starters or alternators they cut the wiring harness on the radar instead of unhooking the wires. Their insurance company totaled the boat and paid just what I paid for the boat. Replacement cost was 1.3 million but because I got a good deal they didn’t have to pay any more than I did. It has taken 80.000 dollars to put my boat back together and 4000 hours. PYS has a lean on my boat for 11,000 dollars. One engine they pickled had a bent push rod which means they tried to start the engine full of water. When the owner of PYS was asked if he was given all the insurance money if he could put the boat back to value that it was when it arrived he said no and he would not even reduce his labor rate... there was water in the fuel when the boat left. It was towed by my lobster boat. I do not think anybody should use Portland Yacht Services. You can’t fight a man with money and lawyers on speed dial. I hope this is seen by the public and next I'm going to send it to yelp...
