SWFL’s #1 Premier Boat Monitoring and Care Service
NEVER worry about your boat again. Tired of showing up for a day on the water only to find a dead battery, clogged lines, or a muddy hull? Worry no more. Island Marine Repair LLC is a full‑service boat monitoring and care company that ensures your boat is always running and in tip‑top shape every time you want to go out on the water. Our owner‑operated service means you deal directly with a certified marine technician – not a call center or rotating crew. We’re fully licensed and insured for mobile marine care in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Punta Gorda and all of Southwest Florida. Whether you drop off your boat at our shop or we come to you dockside, we treat your vessel like our own. As your local SWFL marine specialist, we offer personalized, concierge‑level care at an honest flat rate.
Comprehensive Boat Watch Packages
Our Boat Monitoring & Care Packages cover every basic maintenance task so your boat stays in tip‑top shape. For one flat monthly fee, we provide:
- Regular Maintenance: Monthly fresh‑water engine flush and run‑up, plus bi‑weekly system checks (battery, bilge pump, electronics, steering trim/tilt, etc.). We test every onboard system to catch problems early.
- Boat Washing & Waxing: Hull and deck wash once per month (waxing available as an add‑on) to remove salt, bugs, and grime. A clean boat is a happy boat!
- Visual Inspections: Each visit we inspect dock lines, canvas & cushion covers, thru‑hulls, and check for water intrusion or leaks.
- Detailed Reports: After every visit you’ll get a custom checklist with photos emailed to you. We document engine hours, any issues found, and the work completed, so you always know your boat’s status, just like industry pros recommend.
Every Island Marine Repair package is simple and all‑inclusive – $15 per foot per month flat. No surprises or tiered pricing. (E.g., a 10′ boat is $150/month, a 30′ boat is $450.) This covers all routine boat watch services for vessels up to 40′. You choose the plan; we handle the rest. Need something extra? We also offer Departing and Returning Concierge Packages (fueling, provisioning, canvas on/off, trash removal, etc.) to make your boating life effortless.
Concierge Services & Add-Ons
Our marine concierge services go beyond simple checks – we’re your boat concierge. Want to arrive at the dock and have everything ready? We will:
Provisioning & Fueling: Stock coolers with ice, beverages or snacks and even fill your tank before your trip.
Boat Deliveries: We can pick up or drop off your boat at the marina or ramp. Going on vacation? We’ll deliver your boat to the launch and handle the prep work.
Departure/Return Packages: For special trips, use our full‑service package – we’ll remove or install canvas and cushions, flush engines after a trip, wash down the deck, remove trash, and more. (Think of it like having your own personal captain’s mate.)
Minor Repairs & “Simple Fixes”: Lights, pumps, trim‑tabs, bilge parts, dock lines or fenders – we can replace or repair these on the spot, often at no extra charge for labor.
Custom Care: Everything is tailored to you. Just tell us what you need, and we’ll make it happen.
These concierge extras set us apart, and best of all most are provided at no additional labor cost. You only pay for any parts or fuel.
Emergency Storm Prep & Seasonal Check-Ups
Southwest Florida weather demands attention, and we’ve got you covered. We provide pre‑storm preparations and post‑storm inspections customized to your needs. Ahead of a hurricane or gale, we’ll secure your boat: pulling up engines, removing or lashing down canvas, verifying docks and tethers, etc. After the storm, we perform a thorough damage assessment and email you a detailed report with photos. (Think of it as your Storm Watch Service.)
In addition, we offer seasonal Spring and Fall Check‑Ups. Before peak boating season we’ll perform a full systems check – engine tune‑up, battery health, cleaning corrosion, flushing cooling system – so you start fresh. In the off‑season, we can ready your boat for storage or get it ready for visitors. These seasonal inspections help prevent big problems and keep your boat at peak performance year‑round.
Affordable, All-Inclusive Pricing
There are no gimmicks – just simple, flat‑rate pricing. Our base Boat Watch & Monitoring plan is $15 per foot per month (up to 40′ boats). For example, a 25′ boat is $375/month. This monthly fee covers everything in our standard package listed above. We never nickel‑and‑dime you with hidden fees.
Add‑on services are transparently priced: boat washing at $6/ft, full waxing at $21/ft, fuel runs (boat brought to you and filled) for $200 + fuel, boat deliveries for $200 + expenses, plus $75/hr beyond the first hour on these jobs. Simple repairs and small parts are flat‑fee or cost‑plus at competitive rates. Storm damage assessments are $100 (you get photos and a detailed report). Departing packages start at $150 (plus provisions) and include ice, drinks, food, and more – just like having a personal mate get your boat ready.
We believe in upfront estimates and honest billing. You will always know exactly what your Boat Monitoring Service costs every month, with options to upgrade anytime.
Trusted Owner-Operated Service
Our boat watch service is truly personal. One man. One mission. Total marine care. You won’t find a corporate hotline or random contractors here. Instead, you deal directly with Cody – the owner and certified marine technician – who has decades of experience on Florida waters. We built this service on the same values as Island Marine Repair’s trusted marine care: hard work, attention to detail, and treating every vessel like family.
Because we’re owner‑operated, our service is flexible and personal. If an issue comes up on any visit, you talk to the expert who will fix it, not a dispatcher. We’re fully licensed and insured for Lee, Collier, Charlotte and surrounding counties, and we handle any marina requirements or approvals on your behalf. Our goal is to give you confidence: you won’t have to babysit your boat, and you can trust it’s in skilled hands. In fact, customers say that having our boat watch service “gives [them] the confidence to run when and where [they] want, without worry” – because the boat is being cared for by a SWFL marine specialist day after day.
Every recommendation, every check, every wax job we do is backed by a personal guarantee of quality. We aim to be your go‑to boat watch and monitoring service in Southwest Florida, taking the headache out of boat ownership.
