Seven Seas Yacht Services

Mike Weddell of Seven Seas Yacht Services operating out of Mear's Point Marina in Grasonville MD was commissioned to repair issues found during sea trial on a boat that I was purchasing on March 30th of 2013. The primary issue Mr. Weddell was commissioned to repair was... water intrusion into both engines, which caused several thousand dollars worth of valve damage that was attributed to failure of the exhaust manifold system. Mr. Weddell replaced the least expensive parts of the system but knowingly left the still failing original manifold risers in the manifold system with full knowledge that doing so would cause the same engine failure to occur a very short time after the boat left his shop. He failed to notify myself or the broker of this ineffective partial repair and it's implications, and instead declared the issue resolved. Read More

While fixing Sea Trial issues of a boat I was purchasing, Mr. Weddell found a serious issue of the boat's propeller shafts both having severe electrolytic corrosion around the entire circumference of the shafts. The corrosion so severe that I was told just 60 days after... the purchase by the mechanic at my marina as well as the machine shop who also evaluated the damage that one or both shafts could have easily sheared off with a best case scenario of just losing the $700 props attached to each. In the worst case scenario the props from the 640 hp engines could have been thrown through the bottom of the boat, potentially injuring anyone seated in the rear section of the boat as well as possibly sinking the boat. Mr. Weddell not only elected not to report the problem or the severity of the problem to myself as the buyer or the broker, but he also reassembled the boat to purposely and knowingly cover up the damage found.

Run from this place! Horrible service. My experience with Weddel left me spending more money somewhere else to cure serious problems he caused. He will lie to you and charge you for things he didn't do. Plan to take your vessel to a qualified person to fix his poor work. Or you could just go somewhere else in the first place and save headaches.

used Seven Seas Yacht Services multiple times, overlooked problems with their services the first few times, thinking they were simply oversights, as we continued to use them we noticed a pattern of poor service, being charged for services not rendered, further damage to... our boat without taking responsibility or making restitution, then the final and last straw, they put a major component in using the completely wrong part (thousands of dollars spent fixing their mistakes)...go to any other marine services firm before using these guys, they're nice upfront but completely untrustworthy!
