Cruisers Welcome

Whether you are going north or south, come visit us in beautiful Channel Islands Harbor. We are conveniently located at Latitude: 34.16417 Longitude: -119.22333.

We have a full service boatyard facility able to perform any repairs you might need. We provide expert bottom painting and hullside buff and wax. We have a well stocked Chandlery open 7 days a week. Call ahead at (805) 985-3532 or email us and we can have your special order part(s) available for you when you arrive. If you just want to stop over for a night or two, we have transient slips available.

Please find below the text of an email we recently received from one of our cruising customers:

"After over thirty years of being a fulltime liveaboard on a sailboat, including eleven years and 50,000 nautical miles of cruising the Americas from San Francisco to Ecuador and the Caribbean, I've had the opportunity to evaluate many boatyards.

I will say, without reservations, that I've never found any better than Anacapa Marine Services. Their facilities are modern, completely adequate and well-maintained. The yard is staffed by highly experienced and competent people, who make you feel more like family than a customer. The on-site chandlery is well stocked by people who seem to know just what items to carry. Above all, pricing is very reasonable, and always includes a detailed estimate before any work is done.

On several occasions, we have sailed back from mainland Mexico just to be able to haul the boat in their yard. I can not recommend any boatyard more highly."
