Harbor Crew has been servicing my boat for almost 5 years now they do an excellent job. I’ve got no complaints. The response time is impeccable such as needing an emergency service when rope and hoop net got tangled up in one of my propeller shafts they get five star plus!
Harbor Crew SD has been cleaning boats for Torrey Pines Sailing Club for two years now (as of 2025). Tarcisio does great work and is reliable. He sends underwater videos showing hull cleanliness and condition after the cleanings. He has been flexible in scheduling. He once came out on short notice to retrieve a walker that one of our members dropped in the water next to the slip. Signed - Ron Petzoldt, Commodore, Torrey Pines Sailing Club
Tarcisco and his crew with Harbor Crew SD did fantastic work cleaning my hull after sitting for too long. Now, I can review the next step to repair and paint effectively and have a great starting point for monthly maintenance going forward. They worked really well with pricing and flexibility to make sure the job was done right and up to their high standards. For any boat jobs and maintenance, I would highly recommend the crew at Harbor Crew SD.
I am very happy to have found Harbor Crew SD. They do a thorough job on cleaning the bottom of my sailboat. The boat is on a mooring in the bay, and in not easy to get to. Thankfully Harbor Crew gets out to boat and checks and replaces zincs. They even send a video of their work under the waterline! I would reccomend their work to anyone who is tired of flakey divers doing minimal work. Harbor Crew does a great job and they even let me know how the condition of the bottom paint!
I can't say enough good things about my experience with Tarcisio at Harbor Crew SD! Highly recommend Harbor Crew SD!
Tarcisio and his crew always get my boat sparkling clean and have very affordable prices. Highly recommend!
Harbor Crew staff was friendly and great to work with. They made my 40 year old boat shine.
Great service. I tried many other divers over the years to clean our rental boats. Tarcisio is the best.
Very sharp cleaning, customer service that really cares with the customer satisfaction, highly recommended not only clean but also the convenience os the smalls repairs! Harbor crew is 10 ⚡️
From the very start I could tell the owner was very professional and prompt. His crew went above and beyond with the VIP topside cleaning. I have a 97 fishing boat that needed TLC and they treated my boat like a yacht. I was blow away at how good it looked after the service. The price was very good and I would recomend them to anyone I know. Thank you

these are the best guys I ever had servicing my boat. I get it cleaned every two weeks and my boat is always shining looking like new. keep your good service and I will keep referring my fellow boat owners whenever they need a good company taking care of their boats!
Had a great experience with Harbor Crew. My old diver didn’t send me videos or updated me about the services. Harbor Crew always make sure that I’m aware of everything happening with my boat, giving me peace of mind when they send me videos and photos of the services so I’m sure they’re taking such a good care of it. I highly recommend!

Frequently Asked
General Questions
Bottom cleaning and painting are two of the most important maintenance issues for yacht owners to be constantly aware of. We highly recommend get the bottom of your boat cleaned every 3 weeks between the monts of April and October. The reason for it is that marina growth increase substantially due to warm waters. At this time, we usually see the growth of Green and Brown Algaes, also the sea animals like White Coral Warms
No only can failure to have your hull cleaned every 3 weeks result in cosmetic issues, it also effects your fuel consumption. As pointed out here, failure to keep on top of bottom care can result in galvanic corrosion in the metals and structural issues.
There are many reasons why you should keep the bottom of your boat cleaned. One is to preserve the bottom paint. Another one is that increase boat performance such as improving fuel consumption. Also, your thru hulls will never get clogged.
Boat anodes (also referred to as boat zincs) protect the metal parts of your boat from galvanic corrosion, which occurs when any two dissimilar metals are physically or electrically connected and immersed in water (such as the shaft, rudder, outboard, stern drive or propeller). It’s so important replace and tightened your anodes as they get lose sometimes with the vibration of the boat.
