About

Captain Frost Marine Refrigeration is a boat repair and marine HVAC specialist operating from 2705 Garnet Ave Suite 2A, San Diego, CA 92109, in the heart of Pacific Beach. With over 13 years of hands-on experience in the marine climate control industry, this Dometic-certified company serves private yachts, commercial fleets, and military vessels throughout San Diego and internationally. Factory-trained technicians handle refrigeration repair, air conditioning installation, chiller system rebuilds, and full HVAC consultation for vessels of every size. San Diego boaters heading south for seasonal cruising can also find marine supplies at Fastlane Sailing and Kayaking Center, located on the shores of Mission Bay. The team is an authorized dealer for Marine Air, Cruisair, Eskimo Ice, Grunert, and Dometic systems, which means warranty repair and replacement work meets manufacturer standards from day one. One of the company's most notable credentials is its work aboard the USS Ronald Reagan, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, where Captain Frost repaired the walk-in refrigerator and redesigned the system for improved reliability — changes that were later incorporated into new carrier construction. Other high-profile projects include servicing the 205-foot Codecasa superyacht Apogee, repairing three 25-ton chillers aboard that vessel, and overhauling the Hein & Hopman chilled water system on the 182-foot Feadship Twizzle. Captain Frost also upgraded the chilled water system aboard the 90-foot ABD aluminum yacht Kauhale Kai, installing three Marine Air 60,000 BTU chillers that performed flawlessly on a 7,000-mile South Pacific cruise. The company can upgrade older R-22 chiller systems to use R-410A, an ozone-safe refrigerant, extending the life of aging equipment while meeting current environmental standards. Boaters preparing for the annual Baja Ha-Ha rally regularly trust Captain Frost to get refrigeration systems race-ready on tight timelines. Captain Frost holds a perfect 5.0-star Google rating across 33 reviews, with clients consistently praising the company's weekend availability, creative problem-solving, and willingness to teach boat owners about their own systems. The shop services marinas throughout San Diego, including Sunroad, Sun Harbor, Cortez, California Yacht, Kona Kai, and Southwestern. After completing marine work nearby, vessel owners often stop at Belmont Park along the Mission Beach boardwalk for an afternoon on the coast. Appointments are open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with online booking available through the company's Jobber scheduling portal.
