Just a quick note to say that my family and I are having such a great time on Morning Star! The team take such good care of her and she is sailing like a charm - everything working perfectly! I keep getting comments on how good she looks. Folks can't believe she is 58 Years old!


I tell them it is all thanks to the crew at PYS.


Thanks so much for all you do!

I thank you and your team for the strong work done on By the Way. The sense of urgency, craftsmanship, and high level of care throughout the repair process did not go unnoticed.


While the total cost of $97,500 was certainly far more than I had originally anticipated, I understand that quality marine work requires time and expertise. I appreciate your skill and attention to detail. The boat feels solid and runs well, and I’m confident in the long-term value of your work.


Please convey my thanks to everyone involved. It was a pleasure working with a crew that takes pride in their craft.


Thank you,


All the best,


- Steve

As captain of the schooner Columbia, I hold high standards for the care and maintenance of our vessel, especially when it comes to critical components like our wooden masts. Portland Yacht Services exceeded every expectation during their recent repair work on our spars.

Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and respect for traditional methods were immediately evident. The team approached the project not just with technical skill, but with a genuine understanding of the heritage and demands of a classic schooner like the Columbia. Throughout the process, their communication was clear, their timelines were reliable, and their pride in their work shone through.

Thanks to Portland Yacht Services, our masts are now stronger, sounder, and as beautiful as the day they were stepped. I’m grateful for their dedication and would not hesitate to trust them again with the care of this vessel.
