  • Simply Outstanding

    Kudos to Tim for service above and beyond today onboard Razzle Dazzle.  Stopping at Waquoit Bay to enjoy a brisk dinghy ride to a broken boat.   Through his expertise, persistence and thoughtful trouble shooting, he managed identify the root cause for a starter issue that has been plaguing me for a long time.  The kicker, it had nothing to do with the starter, but rather a very subtle electrical issue.  Found it, fixed it, Done! Every time, Tim works on Razzle Dazzle, he makes her better.  This time was exceptional, though.  A tough problem, early in the day, resolved.

    I am told that everyone has a story about their boat yard.  Most are not complimentary.  I can say without hesitation that mine are all good, and that today’s is simply outstanding. Thanks to Tim and Chris for today’s help. Thanks always to the team at Kingman.

  • Red Brook Harbor is one of the best, small, well-protected harbors on Cape Cod

    For top-notch service and accommodations, head to the harbor’s largest full-service marina, Kingman Yacht Center. KYC has it all, from deep-water slips and moorings to haul-out, service and fuel. Plus, it’s home to the Chart Room restaurant— a Buzzards Bay institution and a great place to enjoy sunset cocktails.

    For a fun side trip, take a dinghy or kayak to Bassetts Island, which offers a long, sandy beach and great swimming (but no public restrooms). If you don’t like crowds, plan your trip here on a weekday, and beware the poison ivy that grows thickly just beyond the dunes.

  • A Great Decommissioning Experience

    I wanted to let you know that Derek did a great job. I was very impressed by his friendliness, courtesy and knowledge. I hope he always does my engine work.
    I also want you to know that Deb (parts lady) is a sweetheart. She is very friendly and accommodating and it is a pleasure to deal with her. She always has been able to get what I need, when I need it and at a great price. I honestly don’t even shop at other marine stores, either in person or on line. You have a great parts system!

  • Thanks to PickMyBoat.com for Selecting the Chart Room / KYC as the “Best Bar & Restaurant for the Boater on Cape Cod!”

    One of the many great things about owning a boat is that different opportunities present themselves that you wouldn’t normally be exposed to. One of those is drive-up bars and restaurants for boaters. Cape Cod is one of the best fishing and boating areas in the U.S. and many of the restaurants and bars accommodate boaters. Here is some information on the best ones on the Cape ….
