San Francisco Boatworks was founded in 1984 and has been a mainstay of the San Francisco and Bay Area boating community ever since. Local enterpreneur Michael Denman bought the facility when it was a small, struggling marine repair business alongside a tiny food operation, serving patrons who were launching their small vessels from a nearby concrete ramp. We have since grown into a thriving recreational marine repair facility and neighbor restaurant, now known as San Francisco Boatworks and the Ramp.
