Testimonials

I had the pleasure of working with Steve Penado and Craftsman Custom Composites on an epoxy catamaran project in 2022. Having worked in the industry for 20 years myself, I knew Steve was the go to builder when I found myself in need of assistance. From the moment we first spoke I knew I made the right call. His knowledge, skill, craftsmanship, and work ethic made for a tremendous experience.

Steve and his crew came into the project with dedication and enthusiasm. They completed the project on time and on budget. Craftsman Custom Composites exceeded all expectations and I look forward to working with them in the future

Todd Meyer - Tarpon River Boatworks

Craftsmen Custom Composites performed a major hull repair on our 50 ft carbon fiber catamaran. Steve Penado and his team did an excellent job. Attention to detail was superb resulting in a beautiful finish. Steve provided daily updates and all around communication was excellent. Detailed invoices were provided with hours and costs allocated to each aspect of the job. Steve was open and transparent on all cost and schedule items. Working with Craftsman was the best experience we’ve had in the marine life industry by far!
