In our wet slips we can accommodate catamarans up to 55′ with beam limitations at 30′. We have a large float bag on site for service work on catamarans such as thru-hull installations, sail drive removal, propeller work, and underwater light installations.

On the hard we are limited to a 16′ beam for haul out and offer full service bottom jobs as well as gelcoat repairs, propeller and shaft replacements, and even re-power projects (and more).

We do offer do it yourself “DIY” yard spaces, as well as DIY wet slip spaces, and all our wet slip spaces allow liveaboard and offer bathrooms with showers and laundry facilities.

With our Wireteknik A350 swage machine and a production shop full of swage fittings, spools of KOS Stainless steel wire and wire rope, and brand new chrome bronze turnbuckles by the dozen, we can produce standing rigging from lifeline size – up to 5/8″ (16mm) standing rigging. Competitive pricing and top quality parts mean your new standing rigging will be safe for many years to come.

We have a very large inventory of Blue Wave standing rigging components on hand at all times. See our Blue Wave page for more details on this top quality Danish supplier.

We ship anywhere, so send us your orders for standing rigging and we’re happy to produce your rigging and ship it out to you, or come see us at the boat yard!

We utilize the latest state of the art solar panels and build custom frames in house out of light weight marine grade bright anodized aluminium. (Stainless steel frame fabrication is also available if requested). Our goal is to maximize your vessel’s solar potential whilst maintaining minimalist concepts to create a beautiful, and highly functional end product.

If you need your standing rigging replaced, look no further. We offer full service standing rigging replacement, either mast down or mast up depending on the rigging configuration and project requirements. We only use top of the line marine grade stainless steel products, and our A350 swaging machine can handle swaging up to 5/8″ (16mm) wire.

While your mast is down we can assess and repair or replace any electronics, and our fab team can make necessary repairs to your mast itself if needed. We have wet slips on site available by appointment, so you can come right here to our facility at Salt Creek Marina in St Pete. Let our team renew your rigging and get back out on the water sailing safely.

Servicing your winches regularly not only improves their longevity, but also greatly improves performance. Correctly cleaned and lubricated winches will operate faster, and require less force when grinding.

We can service all of your winches professionally, on site, in a matter of a few hours. We carry parts for most major brands and can source parts for almost any winch out there today.

Our riggers are highly competent splicers, capable of splicing any line in a given application.

If you are in the market to buy a sailboat, give us a call and ask about our pre-purchase consultation service. Far too many of our clients have purchased vessels that are either too much for them to handle or too small for their long term plans. We have decades of sailing and cruising experience, combined with decades in the field doing repairs and modifications and can certainly help you to make the right purchase, or at least set you in the right direction. We can also perform a pre-purchase rigging survey as most marine surveyors do not climb masts and therefore cannot tell you the true condition of your vessel’s rigging.
