“Chris did an amazing job fixing a major problem with the keel mounting on my sailboat. A major job required pulling the engine and repairing rotten wood and re-fiberglassing fairing the hull of my boat. Top quality workmanship.

Second job, replace all the standings rigging (stainless steel cable that holds the mast up). Also did a great job. my boat is safe now and I feel confident heading out to blue ocean water.”

“Chris Forrest and his team repaired a laser transom that had been seriously damaged in an accident.  The repairs were fast (2 Days) and structurally and cosmetically you would be hard pressed to know which side of the transom was repaired.

Great job and I would recommend them for any work on fiberglass.  I also drove over the hill from the South Bay which says a lot about how much I liked the work.”

“Chris Forrest at Santa Cruz Marine is the rarest of finds – an incredibly intelligent, insightful craftsman with a perfectionist streak who bills fairly, gets excited about projects, and goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are happy. I had previously worked with a big-name yard in San Francisco, and the difference in both the quality of work, responsiveness, and billing was remarkable.  My experience has been exponentially better working with Chris.”

“Chris and his team are extremely knowledgeable industry experts.  Chris was able to do the motor repair and even take care of multiple other issues we had that were not mechanic related.  He installed a new, custom windlass mount that looked stock!   He went above and beyond on several occasions when our boat was “not cooperating” to try and mitigate the problems we were facing.  I trust Chris and Santa Cruz marine for all aspects of boat maintenance and repair.”
