Anacortes & La Conner, Washington
Boat Repair & Haul-Out
on the Salish Sea
Two full-service yards and a 100-ton lift. Paint, engines, composites, electrical and fabrication in one yard — so the boat comes out of the water once, and one crew finishes the job.

What we do
Everything under one roof
Your problem solved promptly and properly, by technicians trained through ESI University and in the manufacturers’ own classes. Every trade is in one yard on one schedule, so the boat comes out of the water once.
Haul-Out & Travel Lift
Out of the water when you need it, at either yard, day or night. To 100 tons at La Conner.
Hempel Silic One
A bottom that is cleaned and recoated, not repainted. Hempel-certified crews, with more boats coated than at any yard in the country.
Bottom Paint & Antifouling
The right system for how the boat is used, priced on the spot. Certified Hempel and Sea Hawk applicators, every coat measured wet.
Topside & Deck Refinishing
A tired finish brought back better than built. Faired by hands with decades in the trade, sprayed in a 120-foot climate-controlled booth.
Fiberglass & Composite Repair
Damage repaired until it disappears, and parts the factory no longer makes built from our own molds. Six levels of composites training behind every repair.
Yanmar Engine Repowers
A worn-out engine replaced, with the beds, alignment, exhaust and wiring done in the same yard. Gold-Level Yanmar dealer, factory-trained technicians.
Bow Thrusters & Stabilizers
Thrusters that make docking safe, controlled and comfortable in any conditions. Stabilizers that turn a rough, seasick day into a comfortable one. Fitted in-house by the area’s only certified ABT‑TRAC and WESMAR installers.
Marine Electrical & Lithium
The drain, the nuisance trip, the fault that only shows up underway — found and fixed to a written procedure by technicians certified in marine electrical and LiFePO4.
EPOCH Marine Batteries
More usable power from a lighter bank, installed as a system. Lithium packs built for boats since the early 2000s, with the stock on our shelf.
Fabrication & Cabinetry
The arch, the rail, the tank or the cabinet, made and fitted by one crew so it fits the first time. When the part no longer exists, we make it.
Marine Supply Stores
The part on the shelf, fifty feet from the technician who fits it.
Manufacturer as well as yard
When the part no longer exists, we make it
We hold the molds for parts and upgrades for American Tug, Bayliner, Grady-White, Cutwater and Ranger Tugs — including the original Bayliner hardtop molds — and build those parts here. Custom yachts and fiberglass work boats are built here too, infused in our own shop. Waggoner Cruising Guide has covered the yard twice.
For an owner, that means a discontinued part, a modification the factory never offered, or a structural repair that has to match the original laminate is a job for the same yard that hauled the boat.
What owners say
Boats, and the people who own them
★★★★★
The pricing is extremely fair, the work is excellent
Having lived here for many years, and been part of the boating lifestyle for even longer, I watched the re-branding of a full-service shipyard and service center so essential to the boating community.

Great stop in the islands
Nice little chandlery, run by good people. Grateful to have a place to grab supplies while out in the islands. If they don’t have what you need, they know how to get it.

Free for every customer
A complimentary 18-point inspection
An expert technician tests the boat’s systems and writes up every point as Excellent, Good, Monitor, Attention or Critical — a written report telling you what is sound, what to keep an eye on, and what has to be dealt with before it goes back in the water. Free with every job.
