Testimonials

We have had a fantastic summer!  The Cobalt 232 is one of our best investments and we truly enjoy having the boat slip at Silver Beach.  Everyone at the Yacht Club have be extremely pleasant and helpful.  We have about 60 hours currently.  We hope to top 100hrs before the season ends.  I'm looking at the Cobalt 323 and Jane thinks it maybe a great idea, not for a couple of years or maybe after the sale of the condo!  But it will be difficult to let go the 232!  Thanks for encouraging us to purchase a Cobalt; we get lot of compliments not to mention the constant staring!

Thank you,
Quincy

 

We visited the Boardwalk Marina to rent a boat for several hours and also dined at Beverly’s Restaurant for dinner.

The staff at both of these service locations were amazing! At the Marina, your dock Master Tony, took wonderful care of us, even though he was not on location, he answered questions and was a wonderful, friendly, and very informative in every aspect. They remained very patient and cheerful towards us even with our numerous questions. They were truly happy to help us and seemed to enjoy their jobs.

My family and I were at Coeur d'Alene Lake last week and our boat developed some problems. We brought it up to the Yacht Club. the first day Mike Lovstrom was very helpful and accommodating. He suggested changing the rotor and distributor cap which we did. Problem wasn't solved but we definitely needed a new cap and rotor (ours was very corroded). The next day I limped the boat back up to your shop, a mechanic loaned me a pressure gauge to check the fuel injector pressure , it was low which pointed to the high pressure injector pump. Vic Baynard was very helpful, despite the fact that the entire service department was very busy, everyone was very nice and helpful. We are back in Colorado Springs now and I pulled the injector apart and just as Vic suspected, the injector pump filter was totally clogged. Thanks to you folks the boat should be running soon.

Thank you very much for all the help.
Sincerely, Bob Greensides

 

The Ducote family would like to say “Thank You” to the staff at the Yacht Club.

In May of 2005 at the Resort Boat Show we purchased our 1st boat a Cobalt 255. Since the day that we have been overwhelmed with amazing service from the Yacht Club personnel in both the sales and services departments. The activities from the North Pole cruises, was and dunk, women making waves, raft up party, boat shows to the demos show how much the Yacht Club values its customers.

We especially appreciate Greg Hart our salesman who has always and continue to go above and beyond for our family to ensure that each boating season is better than the last. We no longer consider him our salesman he has become a great friend. He’s a friend that will answer all of my absurd boating questions.

Now, we sit and anxiously wait the approaching of our 3rd season on our Cobalt. Our family and friends have thoroughly enjoyed every moment that we’ve spent on Coeur d’Alene Lake in our Cobalt. Everyone that has been aboard our boat has been impressed by its comfort, performance and handling (even with me driving).

We highly recommend Greg and the Yacht Club staff to all of our friends and family. Once again thank you dearly for your continued and outstanding services.

Sincerely,
Darren, Roby, Eryn, Griffen, & Brennen Ducote
Happy Cobalt Owners

 

Thank you so much for the wonderful cobalt gifts for Gracie! She will look so cute in them. Your company is so thoughtful to think of us, and Gracie can’t wait to go boating this summer on our new boat. We are glad to be part of the Cobalt family! We look forward to seeing you soon!

Thanks again,
Jenny, Gracie, and the Legg Family


My family recently purchased a Cobalt boat from the Yacht Club. What a delightful surprise I had when a beautiful bouquet of flowers was delivered to our home! Although, I have not lived in the area since 1971, I have spent all but two summers on the lake because I love this area. Many of the changes over the years have been made by you, changes that have improved Coeur d’Alene and kept a vitality here that other places are lacking. Your high standards are appreciated.

Thank you for the flowers and all you do for the place so many of us cherish.

I wanted to let you know that it was and has been a great pleasure to have bought my boat from you in particular. Your professionalism was a true treat and the only thing negative I can say is that love my boat so much it'll be some time before I buy another--if and when I am looking forward to dealing with you--hope the folks you work with appreciate your efforts as much as customers!
 
See you next year,Tom

"I have purchased two Cobalt boats over the last 5-years and have done so for two very important reasons. First my wife and I love our Cobalt, but more importantly we would frankly have purchased any boat that was to be serviced by both Craig and Rick in your Service department.

Naturally, we were concerned when the ownership changed hands, but I have seen the same great service from Craig and Rick that I had grown to expect over these last five years.

My family spends most of the off season in California and we, therefore, tend to be a bit impatient and concerned that our summers go smoothly for our many friends that come to visit. There is no doubt in my mind that if I have a problem either Craig or Rick will come to my aid and for that reason alone we will continue to do business with Yacht Club.

Thank you so very much for recognizing their value to Yacht club and permitting this fine business to continue in the manner it has at least since my family has been in Coeur d’Alene. Because of your fine Service department, rest assured our next purchase will be from the Yacht Club!"

Respectfully,
Kirk Evans


"We have taken delivery of our new Cobalt 263. It’s a beautiful boat that performs superbly! I wanted to thank you for your assistance on conveying our new Cobalt to us in a convenient and timely manner. I also enjoyed working with Craig, who led us through the boat buying process. He is a great guy who made our Cobalt buying experience fun and easy."

"I have received great service from Yacht Club over the 10 years I've had my Cobalt. On the July 4th weekend you went above and beyond the call of duty. My daughter and I were preparing to dock at the resort on our way to Hudson's for lunch on Sunday, July 2,2006. Approaching the only spot available near the west side floating dock ramp, I experienced rapid forward acceleration when I reversed the throttle. We glanced off the dock and were headed toward an apparent crash into the concrete wall. I was able to steer the boat under the embarkation ramp narrowly avoiding disaster. Rocky Holt was on the ramp and calling to us to offer help. He was starting his lunch break and decided to walk the boardwalk. We repeatedly turned on-shut off the engine and "walked" the boat back to the Resort Marina. Rocky caught our boat and called the yacht club to see if a mechanic was on duty. He took our keys and ran the boat to the Yacht Club while my daughter and I went to Hudsons. We exchanged cell phone messages and he met us at the Resort after our lunches and gave us the keys to our repaired boat. Rocky and Kerry took care of us including a cleaning of the side of the boat disfigured by our glance off the dock. Another great reason to buy your boat from the people who are on the lake to help you when you need it."

With Great Appreciation,
Bob Behm


"Rocky Holt at The Yacht Club Sales & Service bends over backwards; he knows who I am and what boat I have and totally takes care of me. I am in the customer service industry and he is top notch. They call me about the raft-up on the lake and the Christmas cruise they put on for the owners of the boat. Thank you for the craftsmanship and the best towboat in the world".

"I recently purchased an '06 Malibu Sunsetter XTi from the Yacht Club. I have known Rocky Holt for a number of years and he has always been extremely helpful.  This most recent experience was handled in a personal yet professional manner. I appreciate his follow through and he is an asset to your organization".

"Interactions with Rocky Holt and Craig Brosenne are great. They are both straight forward and sincere, not to mention put in great effort and are very responsive. That is a big selling point on your shop versus one here in Phoenix or in CA".
