Boatyard Guide 2023

The Log’s Guide to Southern California Boatyards
The hunt for the perfect boatyard for regular maintenance, repairs, or a major refit project can be tedious as Southern California offers a wide range of full-service boatyards, each with its own specialties and staff of skilled craftspeople.
The Log’s 2023 Guide to Southern California Boatyards (including facilities in Mexico) aims to serve as a starting point for boaters searching for the right repair and haul-out facility for their individual needs. In addition, this guide provides key data about Southern California boatyard options, including areas of specialty and on-site amenities, to narrow down the many choices.
The guide includes the latest contact information for each local boatyard, such as a name, address, phone number, fax number, website, and email address, if available.
The Log recently surveyed the region’s boatyards to ensure that each listing is as accurate and up-to-date as possible. The Log assumes no responsibility for changes that may have occurred since the survey was conducted. Please email information on any changes needed for next year’s guide to editor@thelog.com.
