Island Marine Repair is Fort Myers' certified mobile boat repair company. We bring professional boat mechanical service directly to your dock, lift, driveway, or marina slip anywhere in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, and across Southwest Florida. Your boat stays in the water. Our certified technician arrives with dealership-grade diagnostics, OEM parts, and the tools needed to finish most jobs in a single visit. No towing, no haul-out, no shop backlog.
We removed the shop from the equation. Same factory-level work, without your boat ever leaving the water.
— Island Marine Repair
Island Marine Repair was built around one straightforward observation: the hardest part of boat repair is not the repair itself. It is getting the boat to the shop. Hauling a dead vessel off a lift, arranging a tow across the Caloosahatchee, then waiting weeks in a service backlog turns a routine fix into a lost season.
We eliminated the shop entirely. Our fully equipped service units run out of Fort Myers, each carrying the same diagnostic equipment and OEM-spec parts found in authorized dealerships. Whether your vessel sits on a lift behind a Cape Coral canal home, rests in a Fort Myers Beach marina slip, or waits on a trailer in your North Fort Myers driveway, the work we deliver matches any fixed service department. The difference is your boat never leaves the water.
This stretch of coast is one of the most punishing environments for marine engines in the country. Saltwater intrusion, relentless UV, year-round humidity, and heavy seasonal use accelerate corrosion, fuel degradation, and electrical failure faster than most owners expect. A local technician who understands Gulf Coast wear patterns catches problems that generalist technicians miss. That local expertise shapes every diagnosis we perform.
Lead Certified Marine Technician
Cody leads every job personally. More than 15 years of hands-on marine engine work, factory certifications from Suzuki, Yamaha, and Mercury, and daily familiarity with Fort Myers waterways make the difference between a guess and a precise diagnosis. He is a boat technician near you who treats every vessel as if his own name is on the transom. Because it is. Island Marine Repair carries full marine liability coverage, and every repair is backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Traditional boat repair starts with logistics. A trip across town to a service yard. A tow fee or haul-out charge before anyone even looks at the engine. A multi-week queue. And zero visibility into what is actually happening to your boat. On-site repair flips that model. The technician comes to the problem, and you watch the work happen.
The average tow to a shop can exceed the cost of the repair itself. Our certified technician arrives at your location with the parts and tools to resolve most jobs in a single visit. Same-day turnaround is not an upsell. It is how we operate.
You see every step. We show you the failed part, the diagnostic readout, and the completed fix in person. Honest boat repair in Fort Myers should not require trusting a service writer's word from across town. It should require evidence.
Florida saltwater and heat punish cooling systems, wiring, and fuel lines year-round. Preventive maintenance at the dock targets the components that fail first in this climate: impellers, anodes, connections, and injectors. Catching degradation before it strands you offshore is faster, cheaper, and safer than emergency service after the fact.
No handoffs between departments. The certified marine technician who diagnoses your engine is the same person who repairs it, runs the sea trial, and returns your keys. That continuity eliminates miscommunication and keeps accountability exactly where it belongs.
Scheduled maintenance and dockside repair happen in the same visit. Annual and 100-hour service, oil and gear-lube changes, tune-ups, pre-trip inspections, winterization, and summerization all fall under the same service we perform at your lift or slip. Salt and heat do not dictate when your boat gets attention. Your schedule does.
Pump, plumbing, aerator, and float switch repair to keep livewells circulating through tournament and charter season. A dead bait well ends a fishing day fast; most repairs are completed in a single dockside visit.
Learn moreTesting, repair, and replacement of bilge pumps and float switches. It's one of the most preventable causes of serious boat damage, and one of the fastest safety checks our technicians perform at your dock.
Learn moreInstallation of marine electronics, LED lighting, fish finders, chartplotters, and audio systems using corrosion-resistant, marine-grade connections. Every upgrade is wired to ABYC standards so it survives saltwater exposure, not just the demo.
Learn moreHull washing, machine waxing, and oxidation removal scheduled around Florida's punishing UV cycle. Regular detailing isn't cosmetic vanity here, it's the protective layer that keeps gelcoat from chalking under year-round Gulf Coast sun.
Learn moreFull readiness inspection before peak season: fuel system checks, battery testing, fluid top-offs, and a systems shakedown. We catch the small issues storage creates before they become a breakdown miles offshore.
Learn moreScheduled vessel checks while you're away bilge and battery inspection, line and fender checks, engine start-ups, and post-storm walkarounds, with photo reports sent to your phone. Peace of mind for seasonal residents and traveling owners across SWFL.
Learn moreEngine fogging, fluid changes, fuel stabilization, and freeze protection for stored vessels. Even in Florida, one surprise cold snap can crack an unprotected block; winterization is cheap insurance against an expensive spring.
Learn moreStructural and cosmetic fiberglass repair performed on-site, including crack repair, gouge filling, and gelcoat color-matching. We blend repairs into hulls of any age so the damage disappears no boatyard drop-off required.
Learn moreComplete vessel rewiring using marine-grade tinned copper built to resist saltwater corrosion. We replace brittle, corroded circuits with clean, labeled, ABYC-compliant wiring eliminating the gremlins that cause random electrical failures on older boats.
Learn moreOn-site raw-water impeller replacement, thermostat service, and cooling passage flushes. Overheating is the number one engine killer in Gulf Coast waters, and scheduled impeller service is the simplest way to prevent it.
Learn moreComplete dockside repair and maintenance for gas and diesel inboards tune-ups, cooling system service, fluid changes, and mechanical overhauls. We service inboard engines in the slip, so your boat never needs a haul-out for engine work.
Learn moreProfessional fuel injector cleaning to restore smooth idle, throttle response, and fuel economy. Boats that sit between trips develop injector buildup from ethanol fuel degradation and cleaning often fixes it without replacing parts.
Learn moreDealership-grade computer diagnostics brought directly to your boat. We read trouble codes, analyze live sensor data, and pinpoint performance issues on-site, so you get a precise answer not a guess before any repair begins.
Learn moreLower unit and gear case repair including seal replacement, bearing service, gear lube changes, and pressure testing. Most gear case jobs are completed the same day, dockside, without your boat ever visiting a yard.
