Scheduled Maintenance

You work hard all week and the last thing you need to arrive at your boat to find an engine not pumping water or air conditioning not functioning because of some simple maintenance items. We can help! When it comes to scheduled maintenance, we can inspect and make recommendations as to what is needed before there is a problem.

Let our team keep you on the water instead of in the bilges working on your hard-earned weekends.

Shrink Wrapping

When you store your boat the last thing you want is to come back to a filthy dirty boat in the spring. Shrinkwrapping helps keep that dirt out.

We can prep your boat and wrap her for the off-season either at your dock or at our facility.

We don’t just wrap boats either! Have equipment that is being shipped by a freighter? Wrap it before it goes to protect it from salt spray or road grime.

Survey Haul-Outs

We are in a prime location for haul-outs for boat purchases and insurance surveys. Our crew is very experienced working with most of the local surveyors and having the boat hauled and launched in response to their needs. We are also very responsive to providing work estimates based on survey results, and accomplishing needed repairs and upgrades.

Storage

We are in a prime location and have protected out-of-the-water storage for boats up to 55 feet. Whether it is for the winter or for another purpose, we can accommodate your timing in a secure spot for your boat.

You have a brand new boat, or maybe a new-used boat. Whether you have found her on your own, or are working closely with a dealer or broker, there will be items you will want addressed before your first cruise.

We’re an authorized Chesapeake Bay service center for Jeanneau, Kadey-Krogan Yachts, and Fontaine Pajot, and Leopard Catamarans. We work closely with the local representatives of these brands and new/prospective owners to address warranty issues and any requested upgrades to your new boat.

We also work with local surveyors to haul and prep used vessels for survey. Our staff will review and estimate survey recommendations with you to discuss feasibility, cost, and timing of recommended repairs.

Give us your boat for commissioning, and we’ll give you your time on the water.
