San Juan Yachts Review

Summary

San Juan Yachts was co-founded by Randy McCurdy and Donald Campbell in 1998. The two had a vision of developing an a motor yacht construction and sales company based on building one yacht at a time, for one customer at a time. The company has 100 employees who all work on building yachts for their customers, and everyone shares the company profit. The company claims to choose all its parts and decor based on their beauty and performance, and this is what makes their yachts the best on the market. The company is based in the Anacortes, Washington area. For current and prospective customers, there is information on servicing the yacht and yacht management. There is also information on yacht outfitting and a store for yachting accessories to go with your new San Juan.

Pricing

Pricing information on new San Juan Yachts is not available to the general public. Those interested in purchasing new should contact the company directly. From the used listings on the company website we were able to see boats starting at around $650,000 and going up over a million dollars, depending on year, model, and features.

Pros

• The boats are handmade and customized to the customer’s liking.
• The small company ensures their employees have at least 15 years boating experience.

Cons

• These boats are quite expensive for the average yacht owner.
• Since these boats are custom, there do not appear to be any dealers available to purchase them through.
• The company website is flashed based and isn’t very user friendly. Information though easy to find, is difficult to read at times. Other boating websites have limited information about the company and its boats.

Featured Models

The San Juan Yachts fleet includes: SJ30, SJ38, SJ40, SJ40ST, SJ40FB, SJ48, SJ48FB, and SJ60. The FB models are Fly Bridge models.

Conclusion

From what we were able to see in the various boating communities, San Juan Yachts are good quality boats that “turn on a dime and give you a buck’s change.” The owners speak highly of their experiences with the yachts. Even those who don’t own the boats and have just tested them are surprised to see how well the boat does its job. We believe that if you have the money to invest in one of their yachts, whether new or used, you will be greatly pleased with your purchase decision. If you have trouble deciding which model to use, the sales team at San Juan will help you pick the right boat for you.
