“These guys are phenomenal!! Not only do they know what they’re doing, but they’ll bust their hump to get your project completed in a timely fashion. They did it for us, working into the night to get us out on time. And, our windward performance improved by a quantum leap. They did a great deal of work for us including replacement of a headsail furler and three shrouds on our 42′ cat, all of it of the highest quality workmanship. We’re sailing now with high confidence in our rig and better windward performance to boot! You can’t beat that anywhere.

“Look no further! These guys are the real deal! I have a 42 foot catamaran that is in a charter business and I depend on the boat’s Standing and running rigging to be functional with 100% reliability, or I’m out of business until the problem is solved.
I called several local riggers in Key West and none were available or could adequately identify the issue with my roller furling. I was referred to keys rigging by a neighbour boat in my marina after we racked our brains on a potential solution.
Keys Rigging identified my issue with a brief conversation over the phone and some pictures texted back-and-forth. Replacement parts were ordered, technicians, including the owner, were deployed and my situation was resolved within 48 hours!
Keys Rigging had me up and running and back in business in no time with a professional attitude, fair price and a sense of humor that made them a pleasure to work with!
