What people are saying.

  • "We greatly appreciate the care taken with WineR, the exceptional quality of the work performed, and in particular, the expertise and skills of Mr. Youngchild. From the initial contact with Ken over two years ago to the completion of the work on February 15, our experience with him was nothing short of stellar. As new boat owners two years ago of the size and complexity of our boat, Ken’s knowledge and understanding of the work that needed to be done and the expertise with which he supervised it gave us the confidence we needed at the time that WineR would leave the yard fully restored and sea worthy. She was!"

  • "My overall experience was superb. Ken Youngchild did a superior job...from the initial discussion about the process to overseeing outside vendors and making certain that the jobs were done correctly and in a timely manner. I could not be more pleased and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the service and the strong communication from start to finish. I would not hesitate to strongly recommend Ken Youngchild to my fellow boaters in need of any kind of service. First class all the way!"

    E. Rorer - M/Y Nightcap

  • "This was our first experience and our expectations were greatly exceeded. We have been “on the water” for over 35 years on seven boats, have had work performed by a number of marine service providers in many shipyards. Ken Youngchild delivered the best service we have ever experienced! Ken expertly managed the repair process and timeline and delivered Spirit on schedule while ensuring the repairs were professionally completed. It was very obvious that Ken is an effective leader and well respected by his team and subcontractors. We look forward to working with you again!."

    — T. Rice - M/Y Spirit

  • “Thank you for your daily update and pictures. In my 40 years of boating I have never been more impressed. You have exceeded my expectations so far. It has been less than a week since the boat arrived and you have already hauled, inspected, provided quotes, and have already removed the entire cockpit deck to expose the problem.”

    — D. Finley - M/Y Finn McCool

  • “Our experience was awesome. Ken was the most professional and knowledgeable project manager we have ever worked with. All work was done to perfection. The "Queen" has never run better. Thank you for the great experience.”

    — S. Barber - M/Y Queen Mab

  • “Absolutely first class service! Ken is a rock star as are the rest of his team.”
