Chris and crew did a fantastic job on my 45 foot Morgan that was damaged in hurricane Ian. He gave me a more than reasonable price and has been extraordinarily helpful along the way. I really couldn't ask for anything more, my boat has turned out beautifully. Chris even featured it on his website so I know he is proud of his work and his team!

Chris and his crew did a great job on my boat. They installed a transducer, replaced several zincs that had been improperly installed at another boatyard and applied new bottom paint. They did quality work in a timely manner and were very fair with their prices. I would highly recommend Local Waters.

Chris and his people did an excellent job of repairing and re-finishing my Hurricane Ian damaged 38 ft custom-built composite epoxy catamaran. If you want fast work of average quality, go elsewhere. If you are in the Key West area and want outstanding work with a real attention to detail, then Local Waters should be your choice.
