Pacific Coast Yachting Services

What Pacific Coast Yachting Services does

Pacific Coast Yachting Services (PCYS) is a privately held marine service and repair company founded in 1993 by three equal partners — Lennie Puetz, Doug Skeels, and Paul Sittauer — and headquartered at the Northlake Facility, 1115 N Northlake Way, Seattle, Washington. The company operates a full-service boat yard equipped with a dry dock capable of hauling vessels up to 100 tons, delivering a comprehensive suite of yacht services spanning haul-outs, bottom painting, marine engine and generator service, plumbing, electrical work, stabilization (Seakeeper), lithium battery upgrades, marine electronics integration, vessel monitoring (Maretron N2KView with remote cloud access), custom stainless fabrication, teak decking, stern thruster installation, and ongoing yacht management programs.

The technical core centers on ABYC-certified electrical and lithium battery installations built around third-party marine technology platforms — Victron lithium-ion smart batteries with Multiplus inverter chargers, Wakespeed alternator regulators, and Color Control GX networking; Maretron N2KView monitoring with remote cloud telemetry; Seakeeper gyro stabilizers; and Side Power thrusters integrated with factory joystick controls. ABYC compliance underpins the safety and quality positioning for both retrofit and warranty work.

The business model is a hybrid of project-based professional services (commissioning, warranty repair, haul-outs, custom fabrication priced by boat length or quote) and recurring yacht management subscriptions. Go-to-market relies on direct field sales from the Northlake Facility combined with a strong broker and dealer referral channel; PCYS is the commissioned warranty and delivery partner for at least five major yacht brands — Ocean Alexander Yacht Sales, Hampton Yachts, Tiara Yachts, Horizon Yachts, and Emerald Pacific Yachts Sales — and Ocean Alexander specifies PCYS commissioning as a condition of sale on certain yachts. The customer base also includes a long tail of individual yacht owners with 20-30 year service relationships, sustained through word-of-mouth referrals and brand reputation built over three decades in the Seattle and Pacific Northwest market.
