WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

"When we first began looking for a slip for our boat, we struggled to find the right place.  When we met Jeannine, we were very excited to learn about her unique business.  At the outset, she asked all the right questions, learning about how we use our boat, before showing us to our current private dock location.  Our boat has now been in its new slip for about 2 months and we are very happy." Jennifer

"I have used California  Slips for years to rent my boat dock out. Jeannine is wonderful! She is really knowledgeable with the boats, dock location, is responsible, and most of all, she always finds me the most qualified tenants. I would highly recommend California Slips to anyone who wants to rent their dock for extra income."  Grace 

"If only every business was run like this.  We had a shore power issue while having friends over to the boat.  I contacted Jeannine and she had the problem fixed in no time.  She was so professional and knowledgeable and there were no excuses, just action!  So nice to have someone who cares about her customers and takes pride in the service she provides. So glad we found her." AW

"We've rented out dock to Jeannine for over five years. Before using her, we had a boat tenant that was terrible.  Since we've been using her, we have had wonderful tenants and no stress. She takes care of everything and is really responsive. We get our rent check every month and she takes care of the insurance. We haven't needed it, but it's nice to know we are covered should something happen. Our neighbors rent their dock through her as well, and are just as happy." George

"We had an issue that needed immediate attention, Jeannine stepped in on the owners behalf to take care of all the necessary details that needed to be done ASAP and she did it in record time! Her knowledge, follow-up, and priority on this matter speaks very highly of her and her business. We appreciated her friendly, willingness to help and considerate way of handling our needs in the fastest and most professional way. Highly recommend California Slips and Jeannine for all of your needs, both as an owner and also a renter." Tanya

"My husband and I bought a 41'  boat on a Friday and needed a slip the next day. While out at sea bringing our vessel home to Orange County, Jeannine and I worked via intermittent email, text, and phone to send all the required application, insurance and ownership documents. She chose the appropriate slip to meet our needs and was waiting at the dock to guide us in.  All of the public docks couldn't seem to make this happen- but Jeannine made the impossible possible." Patricia

"She really makes our experience with California slips stress free and easy. The extra money we get every month for renting out our dock has been great and paid on time every month. We don't have to do a thing!" Sterling
