Mick Kronman has more maritime experience than just about anyone I’ve ever met. A three-time state Harbormaster of the Year, Mick oversaw numerous functions here at the Santa Barbara Harbor, including harbor patrol, major events like the Harbor & Seafood Festival and Parade of Lights, and day to day management of an 1,100-slipt harbor. He juggled the interests of recreational boaters, commercial fisherman, tourist boats, and visiting vessels in a fair and diplomatic manner. You won’t find anyone with more working-harbor expertise than Mick Kronman.
As Morro Bay’s City Manager, I had the privilege of working with Harbor Director Eric Endersby for five years. He continually impressed me with his resourcefulness and his natural knack for fostering collaboration within the ever-evolving Morro Bay harbor.
Eric is not just a capable professional; he’s also an approachable and personable individual. He actively listens to your needs and preferences, seeking solutions that align with your vision for harbor and waterfront management. With a remarkable 30 years of experience in harbor service, Eric is the kind of leader you’d want at the helm of your harbor endeavors.
