San Diego Boat and Yacht Repair

As part of my divorce settlement, my ex-wife received all the cash, house, and retirement benefits while leaving me with all the debts and a broken boat. As an act of defiance, I wasn't going to liquidate the boat and give my ex and her sleazy lawyers the satisfaction of breaking my spirit, so I went to work. During the legal process, the boat "sat" for nearly four years, with no maintenance. After the divorce, I interviewed four mechanics; all of them didn't have the time, the expertise and know-how to get the boat back in operating condition, except for Joe. It took several months to complete the entire restoration. From the engine, cooling and exhaust system, fiberglass and gelcoat repair, new carpet, new electric head, fresh and waste water systems, lights and electronics and final detailing, Joe had the knowledge, professionalism, and can-do-attitude to get the boat back in pristine condition. Thank you Joe! P.S. my girlfriend loves the boat!

Joe and his team are very knowledgeable and friendly! Joe walked me thru the process of what he needed to do to fix my boat. He texted me pictures of the maintenance performed as he went along! He recommended several enhancements to my engine that would prevent future maintenance issues. I will definitely send my boat to Joe and his team again! Thank you, Joe!

Joe was the consummate professional. Always willing to offer advice on other projects that you may have. Fair pricing backed up by excellent work. All major repairs are recorded on video. Highly recommended!

Excellent and quick service. Very knowledgeable on all aspects of boat. Will definitely go back!!

I had some electric issues with my Boston Whaler from a previous mechanic who did sloppy, unsafe work. Took a chance on Joe and i'm very pleased. I work on my own boat but electric is something I don't do. He explained everything up front, found other issues as well, and repaired them properly and in a timely manner. I won't take my boat anywhere else going fwd. Thx Joe, well done!

Joe is very personable and explains everything to you. When we bought our first boat we weren’t sure where to go for service. When I called Bullet Proof Marine Service and spoke with Joe I felt he was definitely the person we could trust with our boat. When we took our boat to Joe he made us feel comfortable and took the time to explain everything he saw that needed addressed on the boat. As Joe made the repairs he sent us videos and pictures of the progress. Joe did the job right the first time and our boat has been running great. We’ll definitely take our boat back to Joe.

Joe and the whole Bulletproof Marine crew are the most professional and trustworthy service in San Diego. I had some badly damaged fiberglass by the toe rail. Being an older 1980 Hatterass they were able to match the paint flawlessly and shape the fiberglass to come out with a factory look and finish. Being in the military and liveaboard it was important to use someone who was very professional and get things done in a timely manner. 10 out of 10 for Joe and his crew. I will without hesitation be calling Joe for any questions or services needed for my yatch.

Joe is a true professional in his field of expertise. I’ve used him and his team multiple times and wouldn’t trust another person to work on my boat. Prices always fair and quality that others don’t compare to. Thank you BulletProofMarine....👍👍👍

I bought a old gas boat back in July (big mistake) . I battled with fixing things and hiring different people to do different things. Every time we would fix one thing there would be 10 other things so I decided to stop screwing around and find the best. I saw how highly rated Joe and his team were so I had them do the job top to Bottem. The work was done perfectly including the rewiring of the entire vessel. The project took five times longer than expected but Joe was always in contact with me and helped guide me through the process. Now I have a 42 foot hatteras that I would not think of giving the contract to anyone but Joe. If you want it done right.

Joe and his team are an incredibly dedicated, detailed orientated team of hard workers. Have seen him pull off the impossible over and over again. I bought a 30 year old famous yacht from the Sandra Bullock movie “The Net”and he helped resto mod the twin engine crusaders into absolute legends on the pier. These things are beasts! Then he re-wired the entire engine room so it was safe and up to current standards. The cost was expected and you get the best for what you pay. Joe is honest. His team is honest. They treat your boat and respect it like it was their own. He pulled everything apart. Cleaned it, rebuilt what could be saved and suggested the best parts available based on my budget. If you have a job that requires skill and must be done right, this is the team. I observed, helped and stayed out of the way over the two months my build took and I’m proud to have had this legend build the heart of my yacht. I have gained a friend in this undertaking.
