Pacific Offshore Rigging

Two years later, and I still highly recommend POR. Had Kasey come out for a rig survey, he recommended replacing the forestay, the rest was in good enough shape for now. His team came out and replaced on schedule and per our agreed price. Have taken a few small jobs to him since then, and had great work done. I have also gotten several thank you’s from people who have taken my recommendation for their services.

Awesome crew, went by looking for two off the wall (odd) Turnbuckles, they scrounged around and found exactly what I needed. Honesty, integrity and friendliness goes a long way.
They definitely will have my future business.

Stopped by there to have a new line made up for one I snapped on my 1969 Columbia 22′. This was my second time in the store and this time Casey took very good care of me. He jumped into action on my new line and not only gave me a great price on the new hardware but took extra time to educate me on the process of replacing the line since the mast was not stepped and I had only been up on top one other time. It ended up being more simple that the worst case scenario he gave me but I really appreciated him making sure I was properly prepared once on top of the mast!
He even lent me the tools for the job which was really above and beyond how he enabled me to get the job done in one swoop which all boat owners know is never the case with boat projects.
Everyone I have met there are perfect examples of how nice boaters can be. I highly recommend doing all your rigging business with Pacific Offshore Rigging if you have a boat anywhere in San Diego. Sincerely genuine helpful people down there!

We have a Catalina 42 and use it constantly. Over 4 years ago we were recommended by a friend to use Pacific Offshore Rigging to check our mast, etc. I was impressed then and today we had Casey come out to check our entire rig. He is simply excellent and went over our rig with a fine tooth comb and explained everything to me. He found some small items that needed attention that I didn’t even know about. His rates are fair and over the years we have had several of his people come check our rig and make suggestions. They are all good. I totally trust this company. They are first rate. They have made some upgrades for us that have improved the enjoyment and safety of our boat that we use in the charter trade. I highly recommend this company. I’ve been sailing for ever 40 years and they are the best I’ve ever found.

I was looking everywhere for a honest reliable rigger for my 25′ Catalina. I am an armature sailor at best. I needed my mast to be replaced do to a run in with a bridge… I didn’t know where to turn. One thing was for sure everyone I talked to recommended Pacific Offshore Rigging, and now I know why. There was constant communication during my «ordeal.» I was so stressed trying to find a mast that fit, and with the right dimensions. They even helped me with talking to the salvage yard to find the right mast! They were fast reliable, and came in under the original quote, including fabrication and all labor cost. I was shocked at how professional and honest Kasey and his team were. Ryan addressed all my safety concerns in regards to leaving a bent mast on a boat that was docked, and they helped remove it immediately. They even asked if I wanted to help switch over parts to save on labor costs! This may have been one of the most stressful times I have been through in a wile, but they helped walk me through everything and kept me up to date the whole time.
Thank you for the wealth of knowledge that you guys passed down, and putting up with my co-​owner and myself!!! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!

I just ordered new standing rigging, chain plates and mast head tangs for my boat and Kasey and Ryan were very knowledgeable and helped me out a lot. Best of all, they are cool guys to work with. In an industry with a lot of egos, Ryan and Kasey are down to earth and were patient with all my dumb questions. They did their best to get the job done as quick as possible and to the highest standards. I read a review here that said they got charged more than the estimate. An estimate is just that– they aren’t perfect but I felt like I was kept in the loop with changes, everyone was honest and Ryan and Kasey really tried to keep my costs down as much as possible and cut me some breaks. Boats are expensive but if you’re going to have one, you have to make sure the mast doesn’t fall down. I’m trusting P.O.R. and Kasey and Ryan’s work with my life!

Top notch. Best in the industry. Fritz is a great guy, great sailor, and honest business man. Can’t recommend him enough. Did great work on my Hans Christian 36.
Update: switching out from 5 to 3 stars. Fritz doesn’t work there anymore, having sold the business. You can however request Fritz by name which I completely recommend.
Maybe it’s just me, but here are two issues I’ve had with the new ownership (which is also the only two times I’ve used them since):
— Did a delivery on a Catalina 42 in 2011. Without getting into the details I was watching the drum turn on the in mast furler without it turning the foil itself to which I was told «sorry, that not physically possible». This is after I recommended them to my delivery client and I was forced to leave a delivered boat with a sail trash wrapped on its boom.
— Dropped off some whisker stays, got quoted $ 300. Price went up to $ 450 because they misquoted me for part of it, when my wife went to pick them it the total was around $ 600. I don’t believe anything shady happened, but it’s a pair of stays that are maybe ten feet long. If I screwed up my estimates by 2x, I’d understand if my clients got pretty pissed off at that. It just makes you worry about what happens if you get quoted on a 10k project. They had the stays in their hands, it’s not like there was some hidden costs that they couldn’t anticipate in advance.
I don’t doubt that they do okay work, but the difference between the operation when Fritz ran it to now has been pretty large. Fritz ran the place with a heavy emphasis on customer service which was rare as hell on the waterfront. Now it seems that Pacific Offshore Rigging has the same level of customer service as the rest of the harbor, which is hardly a compliment.

Talk to Kaleb or Fritz for recommendations on what you need. Unless you know what you need, or if you’re looking for someone else to provide you info, work with Kaleb or Fritz.
