He was very professional and efficient and did compression checks on all cylinders of both engines, checked all fluids, loosened frozen and corroded bolts, and replaced the two dead batteries. He worked well with the buyer and the seller, and with the broker and me, the surveyor. Jim Maupin, Marine Surveyor, Port Townsend.

He was beyond efficient!! He was able to do a dock visit which I greatly appreciated. He really listened as I informed him of the saga that was this engine as we assessed what had not yet been worked on. I appreciated how he explained everything as I'm a new boater, step by step so that I can address some of the issues in the future myself and know what to look for. After replacing the water separator he got to work on the carburetor and fuel pump. He took the time to do a sea trial, which made me feel a lot more confident and even tested that all the proper alarms were in place for if the engine overheats etc. She's now running like a champ and getting to enjoy some summer weather out on the water. I highly recommend Marine Craft Services and will definitely go back for inevitable future projects. Because boat.

There's no way I could have done this much work (sand, paint, service 2 drives, troubleshoot, repair & wax a 39' boat) in this short of time (3 days). Joe and his "BUMS" totally rock the boat service world. This is the only place I will ever haul out and service my boat.

We've worked with the hardy crew at the Co-op for many years on different projects for our…read moresailboat. The work is reliable and not-insane priced. But this particular review is for a specific event that happened today. We came into PT after having wrapped a line around our prop. This damaged the shaft. We needed someone to check it out and perhaps repair it before we headed north for a 3-week cruise. First we ran into Matt on the dock and told him our tale. He asked Todd to come see us at our boat, and he showed up about 30 minutes later. Todd diagnosed that we needed Dean to come and bang some things around. Dean showed up about 30 minutes later and worked hard on the prop shaft for about two hours. Done. Fixed. We didn't need to haul out and we didn't need to delay our trip. These guys are awesome. They really know their stuff and they understand how to work not just with the boats, but with the people who own the boats. We recommend PT Shipwrights Co-op to all our boat friends.

I can't believe others have rated this place highly. They must have extremely low expectations …read more First off, the started hours say they are open until 1630 but in fact they close at 1615. Over $65 for a guest slip which was difficult to reserve at the kiosk due to a terrible system combining a parking kiosk, a paper list of available slips, and no obvious way to pay for power which is course cost extra. To add to this less than stellar experience, they have a porta potty that, as they generally are, was absolutely disgusting and not well maintained at all. Took forever to find the slip. Nothing is well labeled, no obvious map at the fuel pump, and the least intuitive numbering schema I've ever witnessed. Two other boaters I kept passing were just as lost having to make unnecessary maneuvers while searching for their assigned slip. Epic fail. I wouldn't dock my boat there again if it were sinking and that was the only way to save it.

Justin was excellent in terms of his thoughtfulness with regard to the upgrades he recommended and measurements. The restepping was straightforward and everything fit perfectly. We have owned our Beneteau 361 since new and with the rigging at 24 years old just beginning to worry about a failure. Although not inexpensive it is great to have the peace of mind that our rig is secure and ready to take on the weather and waves that the Northwest has to throw our way. Thanks to Sarah and her crew for an excellent re-rigging.

Last summer, Justin at Port Townsend Rigging performed a rig inspection for our 30' cutter…read moresailboat. He said the rigging wire was showing signs of age, which was over 20 years of age, and he recommended it be replaced if we planned to go offshore. I scheduled the rigging wire replacement with Port Townsend Rigging for early March 2025. They performed the work while the boat was in the water at their dock in Boat Haven. Justin and his team completed the work in a couple of weeks. I am delighted with their work. The work was thorough and professional. Tensioning the whisker stays of the bowsprit is a challenge because of the close fitting gammon iron. It's easy to damage the bowsprit paint if not tensioned correctly. Justin's careful attention to detail paid off because he insured the whisker stays were tensioned evenly so as to keep the bowsprit centered while tensioning. It was also easy to work with Sarah on obtaining an estimate, scheduling and final invoicing. The invoice was higher than the estimate partly because I had requested the running back stays and topping lift rope rigging be replaced, which were not on the estimate. Sarah helped me understand the other additional costs that were not included the estimate, which involved replacing the whisker stays and bob stay wire. The estimate and final invoice were close if the additional costs were not factored in. I have worked with Port Townsend Rigging since we launched our cutter 20 years ago when they installed the mast and the original rig. I have used them ever since, and I have always be happy with the services they provide. I highly recommend them.
