“Customer Service”

What a great experience! I called twice about my order just to check on what was happening and each time I spoke to a caring friendly individual who made me feel like they really cared about my order. Thank you for such a great experience. Love dealing with your company! Every time I need a part that is out of stock at my local Yamaha dealership, you have it in stock and for a better price than the dealership. Thank you and please keep up the great work!

“Awful”

Ordered spark plugs that said qty of 4. Only came with one. After talking to costumer service, they said that has been a major complaint. Asked why it did not state that in the description, she could not give an answer. It wasn't stated in the description because they have been taking advantage of people because they know most people won't go through the hassle of sending them back. Not a very good business decision.

I had multiple friends engines I was repairing and the engine diagrams helped me figure out what was missing greatly. Most of the parts I ordered were pretty obscure and couldn't believe you had them… in stock! I got all 6 motors back up and repaired properly. To have everything arrive promptly was great. I will certainly be ordering with you guys again. Just add summer now.

Excellent service. A lot of aftermarket parts available for older boats but was able to get original parts from Boats.net. Non original sometimes simply don't work!

I ordered parts more than a week ago and they're not here. In fact I called to add a couple parts an hour or so after hitting the button and they said it already shipped. We like your site and availability, but I'm not sure if we can afford this turnaround time. All of our other suppliers are 2-3 days

Needed a part for my 2015 Merc 150 and boats.net has it as usual. So far, they have had every OE part I've needed and when ordered is shipped almost immediately and arriving in days. I really appreciate the logistics effort from boats.net. It allows folks like me who plows through junk on the water to keep thier motor running.

It had been quite awhile since I had ordered anything from them mainly because of taking too long to ship and then shipping on UPS which is the modern day Pony Express. My order shipped the same day that I ordered it and shipped by USPS and I received it in three days. I will not hesitate to order again when I need parts. Thanks for the great service!

I don't really understand why you can accept an address, which is valid, yet have it returned because it is invalid, according to the shipping agent. Just because the house or suite number was put before the road address it was deemed invalid. Yet it was shipped from your warehouse, it went goodness knows where and then returned. Anyone with an ounce of sense would have been able to find that address. I then had to fight to get the freight charge returned, that seemed very unfair. Now the parts won't get here until after my guests leave ( as it is being shipped to the Bahamas) and they will miss some fun on the water.

Was able to find the exact part with diagrams of my exact motor and have them shipped in a timely manner. "I" did however miss a part that I needed. Called the local Yamaha dealer and they said 1 to 2 weeks for the part. Lol. Got my parts in three days. Thank you Boats.net

Thank you for your feedback. The sparkplugs are sold individually. We receive them in bulk, therefore why it is listed@4 on our site. We apologize for any miscommunication there may have been. We hope to do business in the future.

This is the second time I purchased from Boats.net in the past 2 months. Their customer service on the phone is fast and accurate. This time I needed something overnighted and was going to miss the shipping deadline that day but the person helping me somehow made it happen. Also, the web site is really easy to navigate. I keep the phone number and web site handy in our boat.

Sitejabber for Business

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

From the business

Boats.net is your one-stop destination for the best price on OEM outboard parts online. We sell Genuine parts for all boat engines -- from small 9.9hp portable outboards to big offshore 200HP powerhouses -- and we carry all the top brands including Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Mercury, Evinrude, Johnson and Tohatsu. We also sell aftermarket accessories, as well as parts for Inboard and I/O engines, PWCs, generators.

Business History

In 1999, Outdoor Network Chairman and Founder, Tom D’Azevedo, walked into his local marine dealership intending to leave with a new boat and left owning the entire dealership instead. In Tom’s own words: “I came in to shop and the experience I had at that dealership was so frustrating, I suggested the owner sell it to someone that can run it right; and that’s exactly what he did!” Tom ended his retirement early and took the Central Florida Yamaha dealership purchase personally. Dealership employees were trained to put customer experience first, and Tom himself began investing in the purchase of overstocked inventory to offer aftermarket and original manufacturer parts at prices below retail. With the purchase of that dealership, Tom began working to create the dream retail experience where customers are treated like family, and no one pays full price; principles that still drive the Outdoor Network family of brands today. Boats.net works hand-in-hand with our marine and dealerships to deliver millions of genuine Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Mercury, Sea Doo and Evinrude parts directly to customers with no middleman to slow things down. We’re also a Yamaha Five-Star dealer, where we’ve been selected best-in-class every year since 2002.
