FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to make an appointment for repairs or maintenance?
Yes, all of our services require an appointment to ensure that every project is executed with attention, skill, and efficiency. Scheduling by phone at (805) 642 6755, allows our team to prepare staff, allocate resources, and coordinate workflow so your vessel receives thorough and professional care.
What size boats are permitted?

Can I perform my own boat maintenance and repairs at the boatyard?
DIY work is limited to certain areas and must follow strict safety guidelines. Please consult our office prior to starting any project to confirm eligibility and receive instructions on maintaining a safe and organized yard environment for all vessels.
