Total reviews rating 4.6 52 Reviews for Pitman Yacht Services 2023:

These guys are great! Dave and Dave and their Staff worked like a pit crew to swap out our propellers on short notice which was no easy task on a 60 foot twin engine boat. They also took care of an electrical problem at the same time. I recommend them highly!

I highly recomend Pittmans yacht services.Got the bottom cleaned, sanded properly, new bottom paint, cultass bearing replaced, They did everything to my specs, had me back to work 5 days later. Quality job

Professionalism of the employees here is unbelievable. My buddy had his motor yachts bottom refinished and was very satisfied with the work and price. I drove him there and watched her get settled in the water. Less than 4 minutes. I

David and Dave run a tight ship. Both guys are knowledgeable and willing to share. Pitman doesnt squeeze every nickel they can get out of a job. Quick in and out and underway ASAP. Give them a chance to prove everything Ive written and see for yourself, you wont be disappointed.

Quality work, reasonable pricing, efficient,friendly staff,convenient

I just purchased a new boat about a week before I brought it to Pitmans. We had a pretty large punch list of items we wanted addressed. They had 4.5 days and got almost all of it completed. There were some things I thought would need to be replaced they were able to address and repair which saved me a lot more money.I expected to have the bottom paint done. They advised me the bottom paint was still in good shape and could wait another year. Another big savings.I will go back for my service next year or if i need anything else requiring a haul out.They also recommended a few mobile mechanics that would travel to my location for some if the work they were unable to get to.I found everyone there to be friendly and courteous.JD Donovan

Great crew and management!I bought a 36 ft Prokat from Miami and had it delivered to Pittman’s. The driver showed up 15 minutes before they closed and they never complained about it being delivered late. They jumped right on it and unloaded it, did the full service on both motors the next day and had it in the water for me to pick it up.When I arrived, Dave and Davey helped me get familiar with the boat before I took off. Great guys, I very much appreciated the professionalism!Thanks guys!!! I’ll be back

Very good at what they do. Easy people to work with. They can take care of almost any issue you may have. They finish every job quickly and correctly. They want every boat in on Monday and out on Friday if at all possible.

Used them for a World Cat I needed to service. Were there ready to lift the boat out as soon as I pulled up to the dock - made my job easy. Will be using them in the future as needed. Great experience!

Somewhere around 3:50 PM ish Today 3-19-20 My family and I was driving behind their company car in Ozona today and they where going 40 MPH in a 25 MPH Zone. On Top Of that he was blowing through every single stop sign in site then rushed to park in front of molly goodheads bar and restaurant. What’s the hurry, perhaps a cold beer?? I have left a photo below of their little mini company car below.

What a great bunch of guys, fast, courteous, great job all around. Did a super job on both my 36 Searay, and my little 13 Boston Whaler I trailered up. I would use these guys again in a heartbeat, and I have had my boat 17 years, and this was the best hauling and bottom paint experience ever. Everyone at my marina in Clearwater uses Pitman for the same reasons. The detail and fiberglass work they had done was terrific too!

They got our boat in the sling and up on stands in about fifteen minutes from start to finish. They even recommended the best gyro places near the spongedocks and them the manager drove us over there so we could have gyros and catch an uber. These guys know what theyre doing AND they are honest. Ive found one of those qualities at many boat yards but almost never both. If you want something done to your boat, the right way, give Pitman a call.

Friendly and knowledgeable. Good work, fair price. Will be my only place for repairs in the future

Great team at Pitman. Used them for hull painting and very pleased with results. Absolutely brilliant job. Easy in, no messing about. Boat was done on time and for exactly what they said it would be.

Pittmans is an honest and capable yard..I have used their services since the yard opened and find them to be extremely helpful and fair. They have done bottom jobs and repairs on at least 4 of my boats over the years. Great folks! They work hard.

Did a fantastic job on my boat! New paint. New bowsprit, several big repairs from storm damage. Perfectly completed! Highly recommended Pittman!

Pitman yacht service is a very honest and reputable place for all of your boat fixing needs. We got a bottom job a lot of work done on the engine. the deck was extremely clean no visual signs of repair work that was done. Came back cleaner than it went in. The mechanic was very knowledgeable and all of the office people were very personable definitely bring our boat here again.

I bought a 33 Sundancer in Dunedin Fl and on the advice of a local marina I had the boat lifted out at Pitmans. I spoke with David and arranged a bottom job, new boot stripes, a full buff and wax and winterization as the boat was going to Canada. The work, in all respects, was fantastic. The boat shines like new, the bottom is perfect. In addition, they cleaned the upholstery, replaced the impeller in the genny and fixed the power hatch. My trucker arrived and spoke highly of Pitmans professionalism. I only spoke to David by phone, authorising all of the work based on their reputation. Im more than pleased. These are people you can trust. Thank you so much Dave, and your crew, at Pitmans. Great job. Well be back.p

The entire team at Pitman are some of the best & most professional people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. My brand new generator & air conditioner were installed poorly by another contractor and the Pitman team expertly diagnosed & repaired both systems as well as took care of some projects on my boat that I just didnt have time for. Thanks to the Pitman team my used boat is better than it ever was new. Honest, timely completion of work, great communication, impeccable quality of workmanship.

I love these guys. Im a shipwright and I suggest them to my friends and family. They do good work and communicate fully and effectively. Their diesel work is way above par.

Great boat yard with friendly and professional staff. They went above and beyond to assist in getting my bottom painted and fiberglass repairs done. The yard is nicely equipped and the staff is very knowledgeable. great experience and I highly recommend them.

Terrible experiance. After you pay and outrageous amount of money, they tell you to take your messed up boat somewhere else, we cant fix boats. I wouldnt recommend them to anyone for anything. Absolutely horrible customer service and terrible service. Theyll rip you off badly, beware. (Edit) Yes. It was Pitman Yacht Services that we took our bost to. It was a family member of mine who owns and paid for it. Over $5000 in work to do absolutely nothing except tell us to take our boat somewhere else, because you dont have quality mechanics. If it isnt paint, stay far away from these people. They only want your money then tell you to get off their property. Pitman Yacht Services, what a joke of a company.

I came to Pitman by way of another specialist who was unable to handle my transom repair. In short, Pitman was good to me. They took in my 23 Seacraft, and redid the entire Transom and a few other small items. The work outcome was great. There was even 2 drain holes we all missed. I brought the boat back and they quickly put those in as well. I highly recommend them. They have a great yard, perform a lot of work and in short order.

David was very nice and polite, I took my boat to get bottom paint done and was not really satisfied, something went wrong however After I got in touch with David, the boat was brought back, hauled and repainted . Yard had a full time employee to help on dropping and picking up the boat.thanks. Im happy wit the way it was handled and the final result.

Pitmans has always done a great job for me. I was missing a strainer on my intake and David said he thought he had one laying around another boat removed. Well he did and it was the right size. They did not even charge me for it. I will continue to use them for years to come.

I had my boat and outdrive painted at Pitman Yacht Services, picking it up on a Saturday. When I got about a mile away from the dock I noticed my bilge pump kicking on. I went straight to my boat lift and pulled the boat out of the water. The following Monday I called and spoke with Dave, who assured me that he had inspected my bellows prior to starting work and found them to be in excellent shape (they had been replaced about a year earlier). Dave said that there would be no reason that he would know of that a leak could have been caused at their yard. I called my marine mechanic (a very reputable shop) and was told that unfortunately they were very backed up and could not receive the boat for inspection for weeks. When they finally had an opening I lowered my boat and took it straight there (It had not been in the water since returning from the bottom job). Upon inspection a tear was found in the shift cable bellows, running perpendicular to the ridges. They indicated that it could have possibly been caused by scraping or pressure washing the outdrive before painting. I had the bellows replaced, notified Pitman and sent them a copy of the repair invoice. Although they agreed to review it and get back to me, I have not been able to get them to respond further to phone calls or emails, nor have they contacted my marine mechanic to discuss. I cannot recommend Pitman Yacht Services.

They got the boat done sure enough. However, the place is pretty run down, they dont have a dock (you have to pull right into the travel lift), they dont have fuel or water or beer or ice (you have to run down the river and dock again). I can only say its a dump relatively speaking. I guess Im sorta biased to the boat yards on the east coast that are much larger, cleaner, better kept up and have far more services.As to the reply I received. Boats are owned lots of different ways chief. Just because my name wasnt on the bill doesnt mean I havent been a customer. As to your remarks - I would encourage those that take the time to read this to read some of the other less than flattering reviews here. As to your completely subjective assertation that you own the best yard on the west coast - thats just silly talk. I can objectively say that your yard is nowhere near the best one Ive been in on this coast or any other coast for that matter. Lastly - if thats what you call a dock - keep it. My one star review stands and feel blessed that i can’t give you zero.If you’re reading this review and you want great service at a great price in a modern clean yard with plenty of dock space go down the street to Mar Marine. It’s about 100 times better in every way than Pittmans.

This is the second time I have used the services of Pitmans in Tarpon Springs, and both times I have been totally 100% pleased with the attention to detail, quality of workmanship, everything from the bottom job, boot stripe, buffed out oxidized hull, aluminum tower, etc. etc. etc. never looked better for a 16 yr. old boat. NEW BOAT LOOK ! You get what you pay for here ! Ive been a licensed full-time charter fishing guide for over 22 yrs. out of this area, my boats are used year round 5 stars from me !

These guys are the best the yard is clean , organized, and David runs it very smoothly.They are fast ,honest and proffessional​ .I would not take my boat anywhere else.Capt Bob. Island Breeze.

Pitman has performed all work all maintenance and much advice for the last 4 years with my 46 foot Shannon I will only let Pitman touch it. Great Boatyard!

Best service in town! Excellent and extremely pleasant to do business with these folks! Justin is the best Yanmar mechanic around, knew exactly the problem and fix it in less than an hour!

If hauling out This is the place to go. They can handle small to very large boats. Dave and his crew give great service.

Very professional job that was done was excellent. Going back next month to paint the bottom again.

Excellent service. Full service boat yard.

One the best in boat repair and paint thair no other like dave I recommend them to all my boat customers

• 1 Bottom paint and bellows replace March 09, 2018 | Janet | Visited, over a year Just had an incredibly bad experience with Pitman Yacht service in Tarpon. They performed maintenance on our boat. As a result of their maintenance, the starter shorted and all power went out on the trip from Pitman to our dock (thank goodness the wind was aft and we had a sail) and a hose had been dislodged causing the boat to leak water. As the boat was leaking we called and they said they didn't have dock space. Then we wrote a very nice, logical letter explaining the problems they caused. In response to the letter, they called and cussed and yelled at us. Not at all the response I would expect from any reputable business. In fact, I was shocked and really couldn't believe their response. I'm still in shock. Why did they even bother to call, other than they must be having an incredibly bad day and needed to blow off steam. Not a way to treat any client. I'll certainly never use their services again nor recommend them again to other boaters. Just had an incredibly bad experience with Pitman Yacht service in Tarpon.

Bottom Paint

Bottom paint – do i need it on my boat.

Typically when people discuss bottom paint on a boat they are referring to Antifouling paint. It prevents growth of organisms that attach to the hull and can affect a vessels s􀀄peed, performance, and durability when boat is kept in the water for extended periods of time. If you don have that problem, you may not need bottom paint. Antifouling paint typically has a flat, dull finish that is used below the waterline. If you don’t have a growth problem or would like a nice shine to your boat’s bottom look to other items like gelcoat or Super Marine paint. Gelcoat adheres to most gelcoats or fiberglass/resins. A boat bottom with antifouling will need to have it removed via sanding or sandblasting before a different type of paint will adhere.

There are generally two types of bottom paint both of which have several variations that create a multitude of products in the market place. The two different types or categories of bottom paint include hard bottom paint and ablative bottom paint .

Hard Bottom Paint vs. Ablative Bottom Paint

Hard bottom paint is bottom paint that is a hard modified epoxy. It is very durable and does not wear off. Hard bottom paints typically have a higher ratio of pesticides (usually copper) in them that are exposed in the outer surface of the coating. As time goes by, the coating oxidizes and becomes less effective in combating marine growth. Hard bottom paint is generally used on boats when the boat sits for long periods of time without moving at all, or there is little movement of water (current/ tide) around the boat. You should not use a hard paint if you boat comes out of the water such as on a trailer or a lift. After 72 hours, it will oxidize on the outer surface from the air and becomes ineffective. If you trailer your boat, or keep it on a lift you should always use ablative bottom paint. Also known as self- polishing bottom paint, is softer and allows the coating to wear off at a controlled rate. Much like a bar of soap, once the boat moves in the water or there is a current and or tide, the outer fayer slowly wears away. The wearing away of the self-polishing bottom paint allows for new, un-oxidized paint to be exposed. However, once placed back in service, that oxidized ablative paint wears away and exposes a new fresh outer coating with active protection. Ablative bottom paint is a newer technology than hard paint. It is the preferred bottom paint of most users since it typically lasts longer and continuously exposes a new active outer coating that protects against marine growth.

Irina has accompanied me in my tour in Moscow. She was an amazingly good professional: well informed, showed the best locations, was flexible and sensible to your requests. She explained and shows us everything we wanted. Our experience in visiting Moscow was very enriched.

Wir hatten ein paar wunderbare Tage hier in Moskau mit einem Service , der seinesgleichen sucht. Betreuung und Kenntnisse einfach super. Ich kann es jedem Besucher aus Deutschland sehr empfehlen.

We had a top time, can highly recommend. Nice and personal

It was awesome to have Elena as our Moscow guide. Her knowledge of Russian history, particularly in the Kremlin, the Cathedral Square and at the Tetryakov Gallery were impressive! Highly recommended!

Great to get to know Irina, wonderful person, showed us Moscow as it is. Takes job very seriously and is most helpful in planning a wonderful Moscow experience. Will most certainly use your service next time my friend. Was also very helpful in giving us a wonderful Saint Petersburg experience. Very professional - Highly recommended

Irina took much time and personal interest in planning a wonderfully detailed, fully organised and most relaxing and enjoyable vacation for us. She created a unique itinerary for me and my friends, based on specific desires I had of Moscow.She created wonderful tours. It was an enormously rewarding experience, I was able to soak in the wonder of Russian heritage in a very personal manner. Having had the opportunity to talk a lot about Russian tradition, history and way of life was another example of her dedication to her work, which she clearly takes very seriously and aims to deliver the highest level of customer satisfaction, I have no hesitation in recommending this agency and the service that this agent provides! I'm happy to say that I believe I have gained another wonderful friend in this agent and would like to thank her for the perfect russian experience!

By this review I would like to confirm the excellent, outstanding service of the agency, particular from the tour guide -Irina Chulkova. I am contacting to Irina for more than two years on regular basis in order to organize transfers and tours in Moscow and occasionally in St. Petersburg for my colleagues from US, California who traveled to Russia. All of the feedbacks on the Irina tours and arrangements were SUPER, with many thanks to her as very knowledgeable and highly professional tour guide. I would recommend Irina as very reliable and experienced tour guide to everybody who wants to get informative and very well organize tours in Moscow.

The services of this agency are very good. I used and I spent wonderful time in Saint Petersburg

As the owner of a tour agency who has lots of work in Moscow I can guarantee that Irina is one of the best to serve you in Moscow for leisure and business tours. I congragulate her for the new website and wish success. erdal

Ira knows her way around Moscow and the Moscow region as well as anyone could. She is as familiar with the out-of-the-way spots tourists usually miss as she is with the most popular sites. You can feel secure letting her set up and conduct your tour in Moscow.
