Thrilled to have found Delmarva service center! We needed our new-to-us tritoon bottom painted, but every other Center I contacted was booked for weeks and far too expensive. Nadine and Carson save our season with a VERY reasonable price, great, quick service, and they even arrange delivery on the water. If you're worn out by overpriced Marine centers, poor quality work, unreasonable time frames you'll love working with Delmarva service center!

They came to my slip and fixed the fuel gauge and depth finder and that same day and I was back on the water. Excellent team. Nadine was super helpful!

FAQ

Questions We Hear All The Time.

Don’t see your answer? Call (302) 470-9508 — we’re happy to talk through your boat.

Most owners book spring commission service 4–6 weeks before they want to be on the water. Slots fill quickly from mid-March through May, so the earlier you request service, the sooner we can fit you in.

We start winterizing in late September and run through the first hard freeze, typically mid-December. If your boat sits uncovered or on a lift, schedule early — freezing water can cause thousands in engine and plumbing damage.

Yes — mobile service is half of what we do. Our fully equipped service van covers all of Sussex County: Angola by the Bay, Indian River, Pot-Nets, Rehoboth Bay Marina, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach, and everywhere in between. No trailering, no downtime — we come to your slip, lift, or driveway.

Yes. Our trucks tow boats to and from our service center at 18473 Harbeson Rd in Milton. If a job is bigger than dockside work allows, we handle the transport — you don't need a trailer or a tow vehicle.

Our core engine lines are Yamaha, Mercury, and Suzuki, and we install and service Garmin electronics at the helm. Beyond those, we work on just about any outboard or sterndrive on the market — from center consoles to cruisers, if it floats, we work on it.

We respond to every request the same business day. For urgent issues, call us directly — we keep capacity open for emergencies during the season.

Yes. One call, one team, every detail handled — scheduling, maintenance, repairs, winter storage, and spring re-commissioning. Ideal for owners who want to just run the boat and leave the rest to us.

Our full-service marine repair facility is at 18473 Harbeson Rd, Milton, DE 19968 — minutes from Rehoboth Bay, Indian River Bay, and Route 1. Drop your boat at the shop, or we'll come to you anywhere in Sussex County.
