heart of Casco Bay.
We have been building, reparing, maintaining and storing boats of various
sizes and shapes. Our crew is made up of people who love boats and boating
and are enthusiastic about taking care of your vessel. Our mission is to
provide quality work at an affordable price to our customers. Located on
