Boat Repairs and Maintenance

Our marine service department operates out of our Trappe yard. The large buildings allow us to take on large boat repairs and projects no matter the time of year or weather. Our service department can tackle any kind of retrofit or rebuild with a staff consisting of marine mechanics, yacht carpenters, electricians, fiberglass technicians and detailers.

We can do a complete re-fit your current yacht or, a pre-owned yacht that you are considering for purchase. We can add the features and amenities you are looking for to make the boat your dream. Customizing a yacht to your specifications is usually a fraction of the cost and time of building or purchasing a new one.

Engine Room Don't get caught by surpise, good engine room maintenance is essential to a pleasurable boating experience!	Our Fiberglass Maintenance Department is unrivaled. Aside from storing your boat indoors, there is nothing you can do that will help maintain the value of your boat than proper gelcoat maintenance. Meet Our Fiberglass Care Expert	Chalky Gelcoat can sometimes be revived by using an aggresive compound and following up with finer polishes. The longer you let this go, the harder it is to revive. After reviving the gel you should begin the proper maintenance schedule.
