What they say
Rating
Absolutely hands down the BEST boat cleaning company out there. I’ve worked with other crews before and nothing even comes close to the level of detail these guys deliver. Every inch of the boat looks showroom-ready when they’re done — from the stainless to the gelcoat, they treat it like it’s their own. What really sets them apart is their attitude. After every single cleaning they ask me, “What can we do better?” Who does that anymore? That kind of commitment to excellence is rare. Any request I’ve ever had — no matter how small or specific — gets handled immediately. No pushback. No excuses. No hassle. Communication is next level. I can always reach the owner directly, and he sends detailed videos and photos so I can see exactly what was done. Total transparency. Total professionalism. Total peace of mind. If you care about your boat and want it maintained at the highest possible standard, stop looking. This is the crew you want
Harbor Crew Boat Care SD has been excellent to work with. Communication is clear, responsive, and consistent. They are always punctual and show up exactly when scheduled. Their monthly service is reliable and dependable, which makes ownership much easier. Pricing is fair and competitive for the quality of work provided. The video updates are a great touch and provide confidence that everything is being handled properly. They are easy to work with, professional, and consistently deliver as promised. I highly recommend Harbor Crew Boat Care SD to anyone looking for reliable boat care in San Diego.
Harbor Crew Boat Care has washed my boat several times, and every experience has been outstanding. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and communication are truly top-notch. I recently found myself in a bind after being ghosted by my hull cleaners. I reached out to Harbor Crew Boat Care, and they immediately stepped up. Not only did they clean the hull before my upcoming cross-country move, but they also provided a full video walkthrough of their work. That video uncovered quite a bit that my previous company was not doing — things I never would’ve known since I obviously don’t see under my own boat. Harbor Crew proved they’re actually doing the work, and doing it right. Exceptionally responsive, thorough, and trustworthy — Harbor Crew Boat Care is the go-to company for any boat care needs. Highly recommended.
Harbor View Boat Care did an incredible job maintaining my sailboat. Each time the crew cleaned my boat they sent me explicit videos of before and after. Their prices are very reasonable. Tarcisio is a true professional and offers excellent customer service. I would highly recommend their services.
The seriousness and competence of the team are remarkable. They clearly know what they're doing and masterfully handle the entire boat cleaning and maintenance process. I recommend them without hesitation for both routine procedures and specific services.
Tarcisio and Harbor Crew Boat Care are excellent! He was recommended by another marina tenant due to great service. My boat has always been cared for and cleaned with the utmost attention to detail. His team will even send a video after bottom cleaning if desired! Also excellent topside cleaning. Zincs were always replaced on time. I could not recommend any more highly!
I just recently bought this 38’ 1977 Choate sailboat… it had around 8 months of growth underneath. I thought I’d be able to do it on my own. Unfortunately I don’t have the time. They were able to clean it incredibly well, including replacing corroded zinc. Phenomenal work and easy to communicate with.
Wow! Harbor Crew Boat Care exceeded expectations. They brought my Scarab back to life—removing years of oxidation and delivering a spotless detail inside and out. The results speak for themselves. Highly recommend their services and absolutely plan to work with them again!

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.
