Our Services

Structural & Technical Systems

The backbone of your boat’s performance lies in its core systems. We provide expert technical maintenance to ensure your vessel remains solid, efficient, and fully capable of handling the demands of the water.

Boat Electrical Repair

Flickering nav lights, weak starters, or mysterious battery drains can ruin a perfect day on the water. Our specialists trace wiring gremlins, replace corroded terminals, and install modern breakers that keep voltage steady. Whether it's trolling-motor loads or yacht-class gensets, we make sure every switch responds with a confident click.

Yacht Repair

Larger cruisers need more than a simple boat repair shop; they need full-scale yacht repair capability. Our master marine mechanics tackle twin diesels, bow thrusters, stabilizers, and luxury interior systems with the same precision we bring to runabouts. With a 60-ton lift capacity and climate-controlled bays, your yacht receives top-tier care year-round.

Propeller Repair

A dinged prop robs speed and rattles the driveline. Our prop bench technicians straighten blades to factory pitch, balance the hub, and polish leading edges so vibration disappears and cruising RPMs drop. You'll feel the difference the instant you throttle up.

Sandblasting & Epoxy Work

Old bottom paint, barnacle scars, and corrosion vanish in our enclosed blast booth. Once stripped, we apply high-build epoxy barrier coats that smooth the hull, prevent osmosis, and prepare the surface for fresh anti-fouling. Expect a faster boat, better fuel economy, and long-term hull protection.

Our Services

Cosmetic Restoration & Upgrades

A well-maintained boat should look as good as it performs. We offer dedicated restoration services to protect your vessel’s finish, comfort, and long-term resale value.

Fiberglass Repair & Paint Touch-Ups

Dock rash, spider cracks, or full-on collisions—our fibre lay-up experts recreate your hull's original contours with marine-grade resin and cloth. After curing, we spray a colour-matched topcoat that blends seamlessly with existing gelcoat, leaving dings and scratches invisible to the naked eye.

Canvas & Upholstery Repair

Ripped cockpit covers or faded vinyl seats drag down comfort and resale value. We restitch or replace panels, match vinyl grains, and add UV-resistant thread so cushions stay supple and seams stay tight. Your cockpit will invite friends aboard—not send them hunting for towels.

Brightwork & Polishing

Salt, sun, and dock bumps dull your chrome and stainless in no time. We hand-sand imperfections, machine-polish rails and cleats to a mirror finish, then seal the shine with protective coating. The result? Deck hardware that looks showroom-fresh and resists tarnish all season long.

Boat Cleaning & Detailing

From non-skid scrubs to cabin headliners, our detailing crew performs stem-to-stern deep cleans that chase mildew, grime, and salt out of every nook. We finish with marine wax and UV protectant, giving your gelcoat a hydrophobic gloss that beads water and turns heads at the dock.

Marina Facilities & Storage

Boat Yard

Our boat yard offers a convenient haul-out and work area where boats can be parked safely for routine service, seasonal prep, or quick touch-ups. Spacious slips, reliable lifting equipment, and on-site support make it easy to manage maintenance without leaving the marina.

Secure Boat Storage

When you're off the water, keep your vessel protected with our flexible storage options. Choose indoor or outdoor spaces, each monitored and well-maintained, so your boat stays clean, secure, and ready to launch whenever the season calls.
