Matt Mathews, Service Manager
For more than eighty years, we've been giving boats the personalized attention and quality service that your yacht deserves.

We have the facilities to meet your needs and accommodate your schedule. With four lifts, our ten-acre yard, crane, and full shop, we can haul your boat when you need us to and complete all the work for your yacht on-site.

But our strength is really in our service. All of our work is done to ABYC standards and we stand behind our work. I personally oversee all of our projects and promise you that we'll do the job right.
