Comments overheard at the "Of all the boats, this one (Offshore 72') has the best plan." "Is this new?" (regarding a 21 year old Offshore 48) "These guys make great boats." "I love these. It's like the Bentley of boats." From a male visitor: "I like your engine room, impressive." "They do it right, don't they? Awesome." "The Cal Deck is just totally bitchen."
Yachting Magazine (Jan '07): Voyager 85' Feature Article Quotes * "... every so often, there comes a yacht that is so beautifully executed and built that it makes others pale by comparison, and that's the case with the new Offshore 85 Voyager."

What Do Our Owners Say About Us? From Catalina to Canada, our Offshore has given us great adventures and wonderful memories. After owning many boats, we believe that no other brand can give the total satisfaction of an Offshore. And, the Offshore family makes the experience complete.
From the time we ordered our Offshore 54’ Pilothouse until now, four years later, we’ve had only wonderful experiences. The commissioning process was really fun because the Offshore crew was so friendly and professional. The quality of an Offshore yacht speaks for itself. On our journeys to Mexico, British Columbia, and Alaska, many other boaters have said to us, “We wish we had an Offshore.” We love our boat, Safari, and have had no problems. It’s the perfect cruising boat--we wouldn't change a thing.
If you are going to spend your money on a quality cruising boat, there is no better place to go than Offshore West. We are proud to be part of the Offshore family. Our salesman Chris, president John, and commissioning expert Rojo and his wonderful crew, Pablo, Modesto, and Jose, typify the excellence of the company. The boats are well built and beautiful, the service first rate, and we can’t imagine cruising and living aboard on any other boat. Offshore definitely deserves its excellent reputation.
Dear Mr. Olson, Unlike the typical "production" boat company, you catered to our desires and gave us good advice on the innovations we built into our boat. We've tested this boat with 540 hours and over 4000 miles in the first year, and you've stood behind the entire adventure. Again, Nancy and I want to thank you and your team for this last year, and we look forward to working with the Offshore people over the long and exciting life of La Sirena.
May 11, 2005 After leaving San Francisco in September 2004, we cruised to Southern California and then down the Baja coast to Cabo San Lucas and across to Puerto Vallarta. By Christmas time, we were in Barra de Navidad and Manzanillo, and in February, began working our way back north and across to La Paz in March. We then spent time in the islands north of La Paz before coming home to San Francisco. In all, we put 450 hours on the engines during this trip and never had a single significant problem with the boat or engines (other than normal maintenance). We did not always hang around for the best possible weather since we had various couples coming to join us for a specific week or so at a time. As an example, during a one week visit with another couple, we planned to cross the Sea of Cortez from Isla Isabella to La Paz. Despite a favorable weather forecast from Commander’s Weather, during a 27 hour crossing, we encountered 9 hours of 30+ knot winds and steep 8 to 10 foot waves (with short intervals) basically on the nose. If anything, the boat seemed happier in those conditions than in the perfectly flat seas of the day before! The Offshore Pilothouse motoryacht is a well-designed, well-built vessel. All of our guests during these trips, most of whom are devoted sailors, raved about the boat and their experience aboard. Surprisingly, (especially for the sailors) most even said that their trip on Freedom ranked as one of the best boating experiences they have had! You should be proud, as we are, of the capabilities of Offshore yachts. We would like to compliment the crew at Offshore West, (particularly Chris Murray, Rojo Lomeli, and John Olson) who are of enormous value and benefit to us, as owners of an Offshore yacht, and therefore to you, as owner of Offshore Yachts. They are always friendly, attentive, and responsive to any need. We truly feel we can rely on them, and on their advice, rather than treat them with the usual caution with which people generally have to regard someone who could be trying to “sell” you a good or service. Somehow, they make us feel like we are part of the “Offshore West Family”, and that family approach does actually factor into our interest in remaining a loyal Offshore Yachts owner, either with our current boat, or with the inevitable “next one”.
February 2007 Chris Murray has been as reliable as a barometer in introducing us to the Offshore family of boats and people during the last several years. We have, for the last eight years, dreamed and fantasized cruising British Columbia and Southeast Alaska.. Recently, two 54 Offshore Pilot House boats became available in Seattle, Washington. From the beginning of the purchasing process Chris was there for us, whether it was in Newport Beach or Seattle. Chris answered questions and presented computerized comparison charts of boats and equipment involved in prior Offshore boat sales. In short, he provided information and opinion that increased our comfort level in purchasing a Pacific Northwest boat while residing in Southern California boat. It was time to go to Seattle to see “the boat”. Chris was there before we arrived. He flew from Orange County Airport and we flew from Long Beach. When we arrived at the boat Chris had the snow and ice cleared, the boat covers off, the diesel heater on “full”, and the boat in a very attractive condition. Later, Chris organized the sea trial, the surveys and the haul-out into a day of seamless inspection of the boat. The boat is purchased in Seattle. Usually, the broker would be gone at that point. However, Chris’ participation doesn’t end. We wanted some post-sale work done on the new “Sparrows Point”. Chris, working closely with Robert Scott of Alliance Yacht Sales, facilitated the purchase, fabrication and installation of an exceptional bridge enclosure for the boat. We have owned Sparrows Point for about a month at this point and Chris is still part of the “crew”. He is still there in Newport Beach or Seattle, as close as his cell phone. He still answers important questions, such as: “Where is the electric switch for the VacuFlush?” or “What does the switch near the cook-top control?” Our experience buying an Offshore boat in the Pacific Northwest with Offshore West and Chris Murray was and is PRICELESS.
