We hit a submerged object on our way north and developed a bad vibration. I called the local SeaTow operator for suggestions of a good repair facility and he recommended Sailcraft. When I called it was evident that they were already extremely busy and had no wet space to put us. They took this nervous captain and his injured vessel in anyway. I pulled my vessel into the travel lift and was immediately hauled and blocked. There it was, a bad bend in the starboard prop. We stayed the night on the boat and they were able to change out the existing props for my spare set in the morning. We were launched and back on our way before noon. They took time out of they're very busy schedule to help get us back on our way.
Jennifer, Mike, George and the entire staff are truly like one big friendly family. It is an absolute pleasure to do business with such friendly,professional and courteous people. They helped calm a situation that no boating couple wants to experience on a long trip.
It is so comforting to know there are still people out there that are so genuine with the service they provide.
I would highly recommend Sailcraft to anyone in need of any type of service on they're vessel.
Thank You Sailcraft Staff !!!

Stopped here for a short haul to change zincs and repack my stuffing box. We needed a place to leave the boat while we visited family for Thanksgiving in western North Carolina. They accommodated us and made our stop very enjoyable. This is a service yard and not associated with the marina next door. Very protected creek and very nice employees, also efficient and quality work. The price for the haul was very reasonable and the dockage while we visited family was $25 per night. They have power and water restrooms and showers. The showers are shared with the marina next door, (Sailcraft Marina). The channel is a little skinny coming in, about 7 feet, but they texted me a chart with entry instructions and all went fine for our 5.5 foot draft. They are still replacing equipment from the recent hurricane but it didn’t slow them down. Again, really nice people. It would be 5 stars except for the need to go next door for showers and the fact they haven’t received the new washers and dryers which they have had on order for some time. All of their buildings had 4.5 feet of water in them, hence the need to replace the washers and dryers.

Recently under new ownership with lots of quality improvements! Sailcraft is a great spot for professional and friendly service. The staff can skillfully cater to sailboats and powerboats, and the boatyard is well organized and clean. Shop local - buy American!
