Wondering what Seattle Boatnuts is all about?

What is Seattle Boatnuts?

Seattle Boatnuts is an extensive service listing, with ratings and reviews, for local boat owners like you! Our goal is to help you find the right businesses for repairs and upgrades. You can also help your fellow boaters by reviewing services you’ve used so they can make informed choices. Best of all, this is a free service for boaters and businesses in the Puget Sound area.

Why did I create Seattle Boatnuts?

I started Seattle Boatnuts because there have been times when I needed a particular service but didn’t know who to use. There were even times when I needed something custom and wasn’t even sure where to begin my search. I’m sure other boaters have gone through this as well and I decided to create a place where all the local businesses were listed, categorized and searchable to make it easy to find options when we have new problems to fix or just want to try someone new for the next upgrade.

Why do I feel it’s important to include ratings and reviews?

I’ve worked with many businesses that have been great but I’ve also worked with a couple that were not so great. There was even one that was so horrible that it’s partially responsible for the creation of Seattle Boatnuts because I wanted to warn other boaters by sharing my bad experience. We’re all used to reading reviews before we buy products on sites like Amazon, Defender and West Marine so I figured I could provide the same type of community driven feedback on Seattle Boatnuts. My hope is that the ratings and reviews will help each boater make the best choice for their needs and their boat.

How can boat owners help?

I hope you’ll support my efforts by visiting the site when you need repairs and upgrades and then adding a review for the business you chose.  You can also browse the site and search for businesses you’ve used in the past and add reviews for them as well.  Each review you add helps other boaters!
