The Boat Yard in
Kemah (TX)

Called at 8am, had parts in my hand by 9am. Mark at the parts counter was super friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back.

Completed my break in service today and it was done exactly on time. I was really happy to get a complete print out of all of the diagnostic information they pulled from my motor. Absolutely fantastic service!!!

Been doing business these folks for years. Never disappointed. Parts always arrived on time when ordered. Employees spend a lot of time making sure everything is right and you understand what you have and installation of the parts.

Mark at The Boat Yard is great. I was having work done on my boat next door and he was able to fit me in at the same time. He even came next door to get it. He explained everything to me in a simple manner and in a way that I can do a few things myself. It is definitely worth the drive to Kemah from Ft. Worth to have my motor serviced regularly.

Poor Communication! Took our boat in to have some repairs done, they kept it over 4 weeks, and we had to call to get updates. We were told it was ready for pick up, but when we got there the main issue we had them fixing was still not working properly. They had also hooked it up to old wiring, that we requested be replaced. Overall, poor experience, poor service, and poor communication. We were highly recommended to this shop, but are very disappointed.

My skiff needed gel coat repairs and a few other minor issues resolved before selling. Mark and the service team did a beautiful job and followed the estimate closely. Then, with the skiff restored to top condition, Jacob and the sales staff helped me find a buyer in just a couple of weeks. The team treated our little boat as if it were their own. Great job, very professional. I feel both buyer and me were treated with kind respect. Thanks again to the Boat Yard Team

Absolutely delighted with the service, JT is great. Knowledgeable, professional and very honest. He provided clear explanations on the different issues on my Yamaha outboard and all the options I had. Definitely my go to shop for now on.

JT, Mark and the rest of the crew at the Boatyard are top notch! They are friendly, knowledgeable and offer a fair price. Their level of service has always exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend! Thank you and keep up the great work Boatyard crew!

First time using the Boat Yard. What a great experience! From my first contact to picking up my boat when ready communications were clear, fast and professional. Quality of work was excellent and price fair. Turn around was as fast as it could be. My boat was returned freshly washed and looking great!!

I had a great experience with The Boat Yard. I used them to do gel coat repairs in five areas of my boat and they cleaned it. They did a fantastic job and the customer service was top notch. My emails were promptly responded to and all of my questions were answered. They will definitely have repeat business from me.

I ordered a Freedom Chiquita from the Boat Yard . It was a turn key order brand new boat motor and trailer. Chet Morenpundi was my sales rep. The service was EXCEPTIONAL. His knowledge of these products was outstanding. He was extremely professional, he was very prompt to answer any questions and emails. I was extremely happy with everything that Chet and The Boat Yard did to fulfill my needs for my boat. I would and will recommend them to everyone. If I could give them 10 stars I would .

I purchased a brand new pontoon boat from The Boat Yard. From the first day of ownership I have never been so pleased with my purchase. With Mark as their Service Manager to Chet the owner, I felt they really cared about my new toy. I am getting ready to move over to a fish/ski boat because I have taken to fishing again. I have been all over Harris County to include Montgomery County (The Woodlands) - no one can beat their prices and NO ONE can be the service after the sale. I am a federal law enforcement officer and I would not stick my neck out of this was not true. I visited Chet’s boat dealership today and it is still a family business. He is sporting an ugly beard and if you can get past that, your going to get the best deal on a new boat. Wish you continued success, buddy!

The boat yard continues to treat us professionally and with the highest regard for our satisfaction even a year after we purchased our new boat. Chet continues to provide the best products and services possible to all his customers. We will continue to frequent his business! We are treated like family!

I just bought a stingray 186cc boat from Chet at The Boat Yard. Chet and everyone at the shop was very helpful, taking time to walk me through various facets of boat operation and answering my questions. They even helped solve towing issues with the truck I brought to bring the boat home. It has been a great experience so far. Bill

I recently purchased a boat here and I am glad that I did. I want to start off and say they were very professional and stayed true to their word what sticks out above the rest with this place is the family atmosphere everyone pulling together to be on the same page with communication and putting their customers first with their needs for any boating experience or expertise I truly felt like I wasn't buying a boat from a stranger but a family I am very happy with my boat the customer service and the atmosphere that surrounds you when purchasing something from a business with your hard-earned money .They took care of everything and made it so easy I just had to sit back and wait for the call give the information and the boat was mine they do it all at this place and take care of any business you may need with a boat or accessories,maintenance services they do it all not just buying a boat their services can be trusted and above all they go the extra mile for their customers weather staying a little late to help you with something on your boat or answering a tough question to resolve any issues that may need fixing in the end I found a place I can call home with all my boating needs and questions and that's hard to find all that in one place I would recommend The Boat Yard for it all. where customers come first and feeling proud you own your own boat comes next.Hard work pays off and they know it above the rest Again Thank you 😃 The Boat Yard 😊

I highly recommend. We recently purchased a boat and Chet and Brandon went above and beyond when it came to questions and getting everything needed for our purchase. They kept me informed every step of the way and may the process a breeze. We will continue to do business with the The Boat Yard! You will not be disappointed. Friendly service and great attitudes and overall a great buying experience!

I drove 4 hours to Houston to have Chet and his people install a Tohatsu 20hp motor on my boat. One week later with less than 2 hours of use the motor dislodged while cruising along and sunk to the bottom. It's a complete loss and I'm out $3600 due to their neglect. They have declined to help or compensate me in any way and put the blame completely on me. They also had me sign the documents before the install was complete and before I saw how they did not bolt it down. While installing the motor I noticed they cut the starboard spacer that came with my old motor then they simply put it between the clamp and jack plate. Nothing was bolted down. I questioned them multiple times about that installation and was dismissed by Chet and his people. The owner's manual states they should in fact bolt it down as well as check that the fasteners are tightened to the specified torque and use a lift or hoist to install the motor, none of which were done. They've told me it's not their fault and put the blame completely on me. I told them this was my first boat and I trusted their advice and they took advantage of me and took the experience of boating away from me and my family.

From the very get go everything was great. Chet was amazing and very devoted to helping me get to where I wanted to be. I was amazed at the product knowledge on everyone’s part Chet, Curtis, and Mark. Been super easy to get back in for my service and each time they never fail to impress. Several times they have saved me money with different ideas instead of taking advantage of me. Only Boat Dealer I will ever deal with again.

I wanted to take just a few minutes to say how pleased I am with the Boat Yard. The entire team has been off the charts with the service that they provide. I purchased a Freedom boat from them at the 2020 Boat Show. It was rigged exactly the way I wanted it and have been nothing but great to me. They arranged for me to visit with the builder of my boat during the show. The pricing was very good and the service has just been outstanding. I can promise you that The Boat Yard will take good care of you. Robbie Bessinger League City Texas

Did a dealer search on the Yamaha website looking for a nearby shop to do the 20 hour service on my 250 Yamaha. When I called, they said bring it in and you should get it back the same day. Not only did they get it the same day, they went beyond the needed service and did a check of my boat repairing a few things that they saw needed attention. Honest, friendly and reasonable pricing. I will be back and will certainly recommend them to my friends.

I researched boats for months and shopped around looking for the best boat for my needs at the right price. I visited Chet at The Boat Yard a few times and scheduled a test drive of the Freedom Patriot and I was hooked! I’ve had the boat for about six months and love it. Chet, Mark and the crew at The Boat Yard have been outstanding through the purchase and service experiences including trimming out the boat with trolling motor, power pole, and gps. Had a minor hull flaw and The Boat Yard took care of it quickly and professionally through my warranty with no problems at all!

Met Chit at the boat show and after doing much research on several boats he talked me into buying one of the Chiquita by freedom boats. It has been and done everything he and Mr Forest said it would do. We have had so much fun fishing with this boat. Glad to see they stand behind their products and take amazing care of us when we bring it in for service. Thanks so much to Chet and his crew for taking care of us and making our first time boating buying experience a great one. I would and do highly recommend to anyone looking to buy a boat or get service for your boat if you already own one to go to The Boat Yard. Chit and his team have been great to deal with.

After doing all my research in buying a boat one company kept coming up in referrals, The Boat Yard. Chet, Mark, and the whole Boat Yard team have made owning my first boat experience incredible. Chet made the buying part super easy. Especially the no nonsense pricing to finding the lowest interest rate and insurance company. Mark in the service dept has also been a pleasure to work with being super flexible in scheduling and pick up after my 30hr maintenance or when I’ve added items like a power pole. This doesn’t seem like a big deal to some but I live in the burbs, Cypress and it means everything to me.

Most Amazing service and boat shop I have been to yet. So good that I spend an extra hour to drive down to their side of town for any of my boating needs. Chet and Mark have always taken care of all my needs in a timely manner. They go above and beyond each time I have seen them. They have a lot of experience and make you feel welcome. I would highly recommend anyone to go here for any of their boating needs from buying a new boat to getting an old one serviced!!!!! Thank you guys for going above and beyond to take care of our boats.. me & my family really appreciate it!

I took my newly acquired used inboard boat directly to The Boat Yard for an overall bow-to-stern inspection and engine tune up. When making an appointment the guy on the phone said to bring it in and they would look at it the following day. It took 2+ weeks for them to even look at the boat and over 3 weeks to get it back. During this inspection the fuel pump was found to be faulty and needed to be replaced. Other than that the boat had no issues and ran fine after an injector cleaning and engine tune up according to The Boat Yard. They deemed the boat mechanically sound and ready for the water. After putting this boat in the water for the first time, it took on A LOT of water and the steering was so stiff there was clearly a problem. They had supposedly checked all the seals for leaks, etc yet it was taking on roughly a gallon every 5 mins. After asking the technician about the steering he admitted to not even checking it. After addressing the leak with another shop and replacing the steering cable (easy fix that should have absolutely been caught during a bow-to-stern inspection), now the engine will not start or run. Not exactly the performance you expect out of a newly tuned up engine. All in all I spent roughly $2000 to have my boat sit in their yard for 3 weeks and my impeller replaced. Would not recommend this shop to anyone, do yourself a favor and take your boat to a reputable shop.

Big holler out to The boat yard professional staff. I can’t say enough of how great it Is working with them, In my line of business it’s very important to have a fast, and knowledgeable mechanics to get u back on the water. The boat yard are second to none. Your missing out if you are not using them for work or service. The sales staff are very personable and know there products like no other. They are wanting to grow there company and willing and ready to make deals that beat the best competitors. Come see them and see what they have. I know they have a boat ready for you

I had them install a trolling motor two batteries and a charger on my patriot. The work was outstanding. Professional installation, prompt service friendly technicians. I drive 4 hours to have The Boat Yard do the work and it was well worth the trip. I highly recommend the Boat Yard!
