Monterey Bay Marine Works

I have been a California general contractor for 42 years and have never seen such blatantly poor performance in all my years. All the work contracted for had to be done over and over again. Much of their work is still not done correctly and will have to redo. If you have a yacht their work will depreciate it's value because of extremely shoddy workmanship. The manager exhibits predatory business behavior. Bottom paint they can do. That is their absolute limit.

I've been working with these guys and girl for a couple years now, and they're good. They don't stall or draw projects out longer than they need be, prices are reasonable, and store prices are below what you'd find at west marine. The maintenance, office and security/fuel dock crew are all professional and know their jobs. The marina and maintenance staff, the boats and boat owners- it's all very friendly and laid back, yet professional when it's time to work. Historically, Monterey had always been a favorite haven for pacific sailors. I'd put Breakwater Cove/Monterey Bay boat works at the top of the list for havens...followed closely by Morro Bay, which is very cool, but lacks the maintenance opportunities that MBBW has to offer.
