Classic Craft has restored my 1961 Century Sabre twice in the last 16 years. They were great to work with and did an amazing job both times. I would highly recommend them for any and all boat repairs no matter what kind of boat you have. Gary and Frank are the best!!

Our First Choice!

As a local marine repair service here in Sacramento we at Delta Breeze Marine only have a few choices when it comes to high quality Marine Fiberglass Repairs. Our "Go To Guys" are the crew at Classic Craft. Gary (the owner) is very well versed when it comes to all areas of boat construction and repair. Quality repairs are not the only reason for our loyalty. Gary has never failed us when it comes to honesty, warranty and the ability to complete a job in a timely manor. It all comes down to "Customer Service" a trait that seems to be hard to find these days.

Thank you Delta Breeze. I think Classic Craft takes care of about 90% of the boat dealers and boat shops in the Sacramento region and as we feel we are the grandfathers of boat repair in the area we always will do our best to encourage and help the boat industry. Smooth Sailing, Gary

I needed some Fiberglass and gelcoat repair on my Mastercraft X30 hull and bow. First of all, Gary's quote came in about half the cost of another shop! That may not be the case for every job, but because of his experience, Gary can tell you pretty quickly what the job will cost. You won't sacrifice the quality of workmanship with the savings either. I am extremely happy with the results of the repair work, and he was very quick to complete the job. He even repaired a couple of minor things that were not part of the project, and it was no extra cost.....talk about pride in workmanship! I learned quite a bit about boats and boat surfaces from Gary during the process as well. He is super knowledgeable and willing to share that. I recommend his work if you care about your boat. Thanks Gary.

Classic craft does all of our fiberglass repairs. Gary is honest and does great work, if not the best. We dont compromise quality for cost, and Gary provides excellent quality at a great cost.

This was my first experience with Gary and Classic Craft and I will be bringing my jet skis and boat back if they need work again, hopefully they wont. Gary quoted me a price and it came in just under what he said. That is an honest person. He easily could have charged what he quoted. Thank you Gary and company for the great job and fantastic service. You are #1

Just as promised...quick and good job.

Gary is the man when it comes to fiberglass repair. He delivered quickly and he even gave me a discount. He promised to have my boat before the weekend, it was done that afternoon. All I have to do is test it on the water. Please continue to support this business, he is fair, honest and reliable. We need more businesses like Gary's.

flando thank your for your positive review. It is always a pleasure making boaters happy and especially nice when they take the time to let others know as you have. Hope you do not need Classic Craft fiberglass repair services again, but if you do we will always try to give the fastest and most reasonbly priced boat repairs.

Gary (the owner) quoted me a price over the phone for keel repair and was very informative about the process and whether or not I really needed the repair work done. He accomodated my schedule for boat drop off and pickup and completed the work ahead of schedule. The final cost was 20% cheaper than the quote and the quality and craftsmanship of the work was top notch. He stands by his work and was very pleasant and honest. I highly recommend Classic Craft, I know Gary will take care of you. See you at Tahoe Gary!

I took in my 1984 Boston Whaler that had keel damage and transom holes on it. I read the reviews online for this shop and am not disappointed at the service that I received from this shop. The owner of the shop "Gary" was very helpful and got my boat back to me in a very timely manner. He also was very pleasant and knowledgeable. It seemed to me that he really cared about his customers and the cost of the repairs. He is not there just to make a buck. I would recommend his shop to any one that needs repairs done on there boat.

Excellent Body Work

I recently took my boat t Classic Craft on Folsom Blvd. Sacramento location for repairs on my boat. The owners spent a great deal of time with me to find out exactly what repairs were needed from my perspective. They then did a comprehensive inspection to confirm all repairs. Prior to beginning the repairs, the owner called me and reviewed the findings so that we both came to a mutual agreement on the needed repairs and estimated costs. True to their word, the repairs were done timely, accurately and extremely professionally. My hats off to a company that honors their committments and performs superior repairs. Kudos to you all. I would recommend to your services to all my boatng friends.

Best Value Boat Shop in Northern California

Gary has restored and repaired several classic speed boats for my Dad and me over the past 25 years. He is a true "old school" craftsman.....the type with the rare skills that are hard to find these days. Gary's workmanship is beyond reproach, his prices are very reasonable and he will never try to talk you into expensive repairs if he thinks there's a less expensive alternative. Give Classic Craft a try.....you will be glad you did!

Fiberglass boat Repair

Gary did an excellent job on our 05 Centurion Concourse!

After our hull was damaged from the dock, I took our boat to Gary at Classic Craft. His crew was quick and thorough, with the repairs. I got it back the same week and now it looks brand new!

I would definitely recommend Classic Craft's work to anybody and be a repeat customer (but hope I don't have a reason to be).

claimed iconBusiness Response06/06/2010

Thank you for your positive review bnapton. I also hope you have no reason to bring your boat in again. Stay safe out there and remember freinds of Classic Craft do not have to have a reason to stop by and say hello and see what is happening at the shop. As you know we are always busy and there is always something interesting to see. Thanks again Gary

TOP NOTCH WORK!!!

Had a 2007 Centurion that needed some fiberglass work done. Had a couple of quotes from the other guys, but went with Classic Craft. Best choice I made! Not only was the work good, classic craft was 25% less, and 2 weeks quicker than the other guys! Will be using Classic Craft for all my work. Thanks Gary

Work boat repairs

Classic craft repaired a California Department of Fish and Game work boat. The boat is a 20 foot Grady White with some front end damage along the rub rail and some gel coat chips along the keel. After checking out several vendors and getting bids we found gary to be the most reasonable deal. After talking to Gary I found him to be very knowldgeable and he gave me confidence that he could do the job right. We picked the boat up last week and it looks wonderful. The damage to the front is blended in so well you can only see the repair if you really look hard. Matching this finish was impossible and we knew that goin in. The boat is 20 years old and has spent the bulk of it's life parked outside. So the finish is not high gloss and looks nothing like a showroom boat. It is a working vessel. Gary and his crew fixed our vessel at a reasonable price and most importantly in the time he said he would. The boat is already back on the water and it looks great. Thanks Gary and Classic Craft.

Thank you for your review, Paul. Praise coming from a professional captain really means alot to us here at Classic Craft and we are very pleased to have been of good service to you. That was a rather large damaged area of fiberglass and gelcoat that we had to fix. Doing boat repair that looks good and is 100% means that the boat will have a longer service life which always equates out to savings in the long run. I know you are always safe on the water but I still do not envy the weather that you must operate in. Safe Boating, Gary

Great Work!

I took a damaged wakeboard boat to Gary at Classic Craft a couple of weeks ago. He repaired the gelcoat and rub-rail to like-new condition, I can't even tell where the damage was. This was also a double-color repair, both yellow and white needed work. His friendly service and accurate estimate were highlights of the service, I would highly recommend!

Best Bang for any buck

After searching the area and getting numerous quotes, Gary at Classic Craft gave me (by far) the best quote. It was less than half of what the other guys charged. So, was quality sacrificed? Absolutely not. We couldn't tell where the fiberglass damage had been on our 2006 Nautique. We have since taken numerous boats and PWCs there. They are really easy to work with, even on short notice sometimes. We would never take a boat anywhere else and always recommend Classic Craft to our friends.

Fiberglass Repair

We recently damaged our boat on Folsom lake on a large submerged granite bolder. Other shops, due to many boats being damaged due to the low water levels in Folsom were backloged and stated we would have to wait 6 to eight weeks. Clssic Craft was able to get the boat in and repaired with 3 weeks and handled all of the insurance issues. Great service and I would recommend them hands down.

claimed iconBusiness Response06/06/2010

Thank you for your review, pcbbinc. As you know after meeting the crew of Classic Craft we love boats and can not stand to see a boat damaged and not on the water. Just one of our teams quirks. We love being on the water so much ourselves. Watch out for obstructions and we hope you stop by and say hi when you have the opportunity. Gary

We know when it came time to have some restoration work done on our 1950 Chris Craft, that we would take it to Classic Craft. We are very happy with the results and we will definitely take it back for future work.

Classic Craft recently replaced the worn out carpet in my 1998 Keaton 18J. Gary was able to perfectly match the color and the install took less than one day...The boat now looks as good as new. The price was very fair and the work is exceptional. I would highly recommend Classic Craft for your boat repairs.
