What clients say about Port San Luis Boatyard in Avila Beach (CA)
Brent is the best, I'm so lucky to know them. I take my boats from Fresno and Monterey just to have Brent work on them. No other service shop will every work on them. If you are having other shops working on your boats you are paying to much.
I have been doing business here for 14 years and have always found the folks that own the yard and its employees to be very welcoming, honest and hardworking.The owner Brent, is also the mechanic and he is considered to be the best marine mechanic on the central coast. If you want your boat fixed right the first time this is the place to go. The whole crew here from the welder to the electrician have all helped me out many times going above and beyond to get me back on the water as soon as possible. This is also one of the only DIY yards in California if you prefer to work on your own boat.
These people will treat and act poorly to anyone that isn’t utilizing their services. They operate off of a public boat launch and operate as if they own the landing. Was nearly taken out by their boat crane operator one day with no apology. Poor attitude from owner and select employees will prevent me from every utilizing their business. Recommend you get your shopping done elsewhere before you head out on the water
I don't use the boat yard but I do use the pier when I'm out kayaking and all of Avila Beach is fantastic. Avila Beach Paddle Sports is fantastic for renting kayaks or paddle boards as well.
Port San Luis Boat Yard is the best boat yard on the West Coast of California. Motor repairs, replacements, welding , painting and boat haul outs. Quality service with reasonable prices.
Launch your boat with their sling service. $20 for slotted trailers $30 without. Easy access but limited parking for trucks and trailers. You can also book fishing charters and whale watching excursions. Restaurants located at the end of pier. Fine dining and casual fare available. Fresh fish market sells live fish and crabs as well as the best smoked salmon. Fun walk on the dock or short drive to the end.
Very friendly, very helpful!! They're remember you if your a regular. Remind you about your boat plug and if you remembered to put it in. Saved me from going onto the rocks my first time pulling in there, ackward. But there really good people. 👍
