Everything we make is custom. While we can sell you common items like helm seats, pre-manufactured console towers or leaning posts from major manufacturers, everything we make is made by hand by experienced marine sewing technicians. We are experienced in custom sail covers, boat covers, enclosures, upholstery, biminis, dodgers, and more. We do whole boats!
Cost depend on the job. Our shop rate is $175 per our and our hourly labor rate while on boats is $150 an hour. We will come out to your boat or project and give you an estimate for free.
We are not a factory. Everything we make is custom made from scratch and even the smallest project can require significant man hours and logistics to get it into the production schedule and completed. There are no suppliers in Key West, and unlike large cities, we are an island with a tiny population and a smaller population of skilled artisans.
We have the largest most capable production facility in Key West. We are located at Robbie's Boatyard. We do everything from simple boat cushions to custom luxury upholstery for yachts, commercial furniture for hotels and restaurants, and even automated awnings and shade systems.
If our technicians remove and re-install electronic components like GPS or XM antennas or arrays, we charge $150 an hour for both removal and installation. You may have to hire a marine electrician if the job is a large one. Our location in Robbie's Boatyard gives us access to resources like docks, cranes and marine electricians, so give us a call and we can discuss the job and what it will entail.
While we do not specialize in carpentry, our skilled craftsmen have the capabilities to do whatever woodworking is necessary to get the job done. Occasionally we will use special hardwoods like teak and mahogany to fabricate custom parts required to complete an interior or exterior job. Our focus is always sewing great products.
We do repairs and complete boat interiors like fabric walls or vinyl track walls like Whisper Walls, common in most modern yachts Hatteras, or Viking. We do not do fiberglass.
Often small repairs, like a zipper or a tear in fabric can be repaired in a week or less if we have the materials in stock.
Large jobs can take 12-16 weeks, weather permitting. We work very hard in our shop to get every job completed to perfection, as quickly as possible, but due to our extreme popularity, there will be a few projects in front of yours when you sign up, so the sooner the better!
While our production production facilities are indoors, our estimators and installers work all day, outdoors, on boats. Just like you, when the weather is bad, we're not on the boat either. Inclement weather can delay a project significantly. Usually the weather in Key West is great! But one rainy or windy day can set pre-production, fitting, production and post-production back up to 3 days. While its unusual to get 10 days of rain, it does happen, so be prepared to wait.
There are times, after the start of a project, when you start peeling back the layers of an interior or exterior of a boat and damage is discovered. It can be something like water or termite damage that may have gone unnoticed for sometime. This is not uncommon for newly-purchased boats where the new owner may not know the complete history of the boat. It could be a problem beyond the scope of our expertise and the owner may have to call in a specialist like exterminator or marine electrician. We will halt work until the problem is resolved by the appropriate professional. We will always do our best to assist in this type of situation.
We work very hard and always have a full production schedule. Every job is important to us and we often work after hours to get jobs completed for our customers. We take great pride in producing a quality product that our customers love. We get great reviews and most of our business is word of mouth or return customers, who we consider friends.
