Service and repairs, quoted before we start.
Yacht service, repair and upgrades. Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
You do not have to be a management client.
Management is a standing relationship. One coordinator, one invoice, and work that happens between your visits whether or not you asked for it. Service and repairs is the other way in. You call with a fault or a project. We come and look at the boat, and you get a written scope and a price before anyone picks up a tool.
- A management program Ongoing. The schedule is ours to keep, the visits happen on a calendar, and every one of them is written up in Mariner Pro before you ask.
- A service or repair job One job, one scope, one number agreed in advance. Open to any owner in South Florida, including boats that are managed by somebody else or by nobody at all.
Service, repairs, upgrades, maintenance.
Four words that get used as though they mean the same thing. Two of them are what happens after something goes wrong. One is what you asked for because you wanted it. The last is the reason you need less of the first two.
- Service Diagnosis first. Something is not behaving and nobody has named it yet, so we find the fault rather than the symptom and put in writing what it takes to put right.
- Repairs After something has already failed. A deck light, a gearbox, and everything between. The list our service division works from is further down this page.
- Upgrades Nothing is broken. You want the boat to do something it does not do yet. Electronics, Starlink, ElectroSea and Quick USA equipment, supplied and fitted by our own people.
- Maintenance Scheduled, and the only one of the four that happens before you notice anything. On a management program it runs to a calendar. Off one, we book it with you and hold the date.
Nobody calls this in.
That is a raw water strainer basket, and it came out of a boat on a scheduled visit. A strainer fouls and corrodes quietly. The engine keeps running, the gauges look normal, and the first symptom most owners get is a temperature alarm well away from the dock. Most of the work on this page is the work of finding parts like this while they are still cheap.
Repair lines.
This is the list our service division works from, unedited. If the fault on your boat is on it, the person who fixes it works here.
- AC repair, HVAC diagnostics and repair
- Waste water pumps
- Fresh water pumps
- Fuel pumps
- Deck lights
- Grey water pumps
- Navigation lights
- Search lights
- Hydraulics, including stabilizers, thrusters and steering
- Mechanical repairs, including engine overhauls and gearbox work
- Yacht electrical repair, including battery replacement
If what your boat is doing is not on the list, it is still worth the call. Most jobs we take start as a description of a noise or a smell rather than a part number.
Upgrades.
Installed by our own technicians, specified and fitted by the same people who service the boat.
- Electronics and navigation packages Specified around how the boat is actually used, then installed and commissioned.
- Starlink installation Mounted and powered for a connection that holds up underway, on passage as much as at the slip.
- ElectroSea pump and strainer installation Pump and strainer supplied and fitted together, as one package.
- Quick USA windlasses, gyro stabilizers and thrusters We are an authorized Quick USA dealer. The equipment and the installation both come from us.
We answer for the technician at your panel.
More than forty five people work in operations here, and technical is one of the teams. When we quote a repair, the scope and the schedule are ours to answer for. So is the standard the work is held to. When a job genuinely needs a yard or a specialist, we source that vendor and agree the scope in writing. We're there while the work happens.
The names on the equipment.
These are relationships we hold rather than logos we found. Each one is equipment we specify, supply and install ourselves.
- Quick USA Authorized dealer. Windlasses, gyro stabilizers and thrusters, supplied and installed in house.
- Starlink Mounted, powered and routed to stay connected underway as well as at the dock.
- ElectroSea Pump and strainer supplied and fitted together, as one package.
- Yacht Protection Concepts Our sister brand. The care products our own crews use on the boats we manage.
How a job starts.
Four steps, and none of them is a price over the phone.
- You call Tell us the make, where the boat sits, and what it is doing or not doing.
- We walk the boat Someone comes to the vessel and looks at the actual system. A description over the phone is a guess, and a guess is how a quote gets revised halfway through.
- You get a written scope What we found, what we propose to do about it, what parts it takes, and how long the boat is out of service.
- You get a quote, then you decide Nothing is ordered and nobody starts until you have said yes to a number.
Questions owners ask before they call.
Do you service boats you do not manage?
Yes. Service and repairs is job by job and open to any owner in South Florida. You do not need a management program, and taking one job does not put you on one.
How much does a repair cost?
We do not quote over the phone. Someone comes to the vessel, looks at the system, and writes down what we found and what it takes to fix. The price is against that scope, and nothing is ordered and no work starts until you have approved it.
Who carries out the work?
Our technical team, and more than forty five people work in operations here. When a job genuinely needs a yard or a specialist vendor, we source it, agree the scope in writing and oversee the work on site rather than hand it over.
What can you actually repair?
Air conditioning and HVAC diagnostics, fresh water, waste water, grey water and fuel pumps, deck lights, navigation lights and search lights, hydraulics including stabilizers, thrusters and steering, mechanical work including engine overhauls and gearboxes, and yacht electrical repair including battery replacement.
What upgrades do you install?
Electronics and navigation packages, Starlink installation, ElectroSea pump and strainer installation, and Quick USA windlasses, gyro stabilizers and thrusters. We are an authorized Quick USA dealer, so that equipment is supplied and installed in house.
What is the difference between maintenance and repair?
Maintenance is scheduled and it is what keeps a yacht running: fluid inspections, startups, panel checks, seacock exercising and strainer cleaning, on a calendar. A repair is what happens after something has already failed. The point of the first is to buy fewer of the second.
