Rest easy with this team tackling your largest boat project. Let's face it, major boat repairs can be a nightmare - all that money with an uncertain outcome. We took a deep breath and trusted Brad, Adam, Pat and the rest of the team with our Bavaria Cruiser 37. It paid off. They were precise professionals throughout the process. They listened carefully to our concerns and made sure that we were completely satisfied with their excellent workmanship. We would not hesitate to use their services for our next project.

My thoughts on First Yachts Services in Lynne Creek, North Vancouver

We are the third caretakers of a Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 40 Ventus for about a 1 ½ years. She was one of four that came to Vancouver in 2004 when Wauquiez was under the ownership of Beneteau. First Yachts commissioned these boats so when I approached them to have work done on Ventus they acted like it was a wayward child coming back home. All but the youngest remembered working on some facet of the commissioning with fond memories. So with that I outlined what I was looking for: New water tank, repair cabin heater, replace rudder bushing, replace shaft bushing, bottom paint, and new mast head light And from there it got a little out of hand as we realized the shaft was shot, the prop was marginal, the plumbing was clogged, hoses needed to be replaced, the alternator was loose, and flaring was needed on the keel among other things. I want to say “we” because First Yachts explained everything before working on it and why all along the way. I was never surprised at what they wish to add and Adam always responded to requests for updated budget. They took care of Ventus like it was them going out on the high seas instead of us. Quality of work was extraordinary and the attention to detail exemplary. Yes, it was not the cheapest place in town. I was warned by another Wauquiez owner about that but they also said it was worth every penny. Personally, I did not want to be out in a bit of a storm and wonder if it was right to go with the lowest bidder. But that is just me.

So, if any of you want your boat treated like she should be, try First Yachts. 5 out of 5, 10 out of 10, thumbs up and all that stuff. They remind be about the chief mechanic on the fighter plane. They act like it was their plane and the pilot is only borrowing it. I know that wherever I am they know our boat and know how to take care of her.

Respectively posted.

We discovered First Yachts when we purchased our Beneteau Oceanis four years ago. Since then we've learned how lucky we were to have such an amazing team in Vancouver. They have helped prepare the boat for a multi year circumnavigation and 3000 miles in, the work has proven to be above expectations. Adam, Brad, Pat, Sarah and the entire team have been incredibly responsive and the work first class. This group knows Beneteau, racing and sailing them. Frankly I can't see buying any other brand in Vancouver as it's the service behind the brand that's critical after purchase. First Yachts makes you feel as if the factory team is there at your service.

Brad, Adam and the team at First Yachts are by far the best yacht service company in North Vancouver, if not all of the lower mainland. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing top notch yacht service work done in a timely and professional manner. They just finished a large project on my boat successfully and expertly.
