#1 In Outboard Maintenance · Boca Grande · Gasparilla Island · Placida
Annual outboard service, repairs, marine electrical, and Garmin — done at your dock, lift, or slip on Gasparilla Island, or at the marina in Placida. We cross the causeway, toll on us. Call or text — we answer every time, and we get it done.
Boca Grande boats work hard for a few months a year. Tarpon season at the Pass, the run out to Cayo Costa and Useppa, the slow days on the bayou. The rest of the year many of them sit on a lift behind a house while the owner is up north. There is no repair shop on the island, and trailering a boat over the causeway to a shop on the mainland is a day lost. We bring the shop to the boat: the full annual service with parts in hand, the no-start before the first trip of the season, the electrical fault that has been nagging since last spring. One visit, one number, done at the dock.
Parts in hand, photos of what we find, a written report — the full annual service, at your dock.
We come to the boat, find the problem, and fix it on the spot if we can. Anything bigger gets a quote first.
4pm–6am, Sundays, and holidays. First hour on the boat included.
The quote is the price. Our labor is guaranteed. We never go past what you approved without asking first.
Year, make, and what the boat is doing. A photo of the engine or the alarm on your display helps us bring the right parts.
Lift, slip, rack, or driveway. You get a straight arrival window before you commit to anything.
Photos of what we find before we touch it, a quote before bigger work, and an update every 48 hours on longer jobs.
Lifts and docks along the Boca Grande Bayou and the canal streets of the island. Slips at Boca Grande Marina, Uncle Henry’s Marina at the north end, and Whidden’s. On the mainland side of the causeway, Gasparilla Marina, Eldred’s, and the docks of Placida and Cape Haze. Boats that stage for Useppa Island, Cabbage Key, and Cayo Costa get serviced here before they go. If the boat lives on Useppa or Cabbage Key, we meet it at Pineland, Bokeelia, or Boca Grande Marina.
Gated dock or marina rules? We carry a $2 million liability policy and send a certificate of insurance to your marina, HOA, or property manager the same day it is requested. Send us the requirements ahead of time and it is handled.
Everything on this site is done on Boca Grande at your dock, lift, or driveway. Annual and 100-hour service with parts included, one price per engine. Dock Care for boats that sit between trips. Inspections before you buy. Marine electrical and Garmin. One number for all of it.

One visit a month at your lift or dock in Boca Grande: we run the engines, flush them, keep the batteries up, drain the fuel bowl, check the bilge, the lights and the electronics, look over the lower unit and the anodes, and send you the photos the same day — wherever you are. First call on the schedule, every repair quoted in writing, the annual service at member pricing. Weekly, monthly or seasonal — written for your boat, one flat number, month to month.
Yes. Gasparilla Island is inside our regular coverage, and the causeway toll is on us. Call or text (239) 834-8532 with what the boat is doing and you get a straight arrival window before you commit to anything.
Yes. Send the year, make, engine model and serial number, and the name of the marina or the lift address. We do the annual service while you are still up north, send photos and the written report, and the boat is ready the day you land. Dock Care covers the months in between.
We cannot drive to a bridgeless island, so we meet the boat at a dock we can reach: Pineland, Bokeelia, Boca Grande Marina, or Gasparilla Marina. Most owners run it over on a calm morning and we are waiting at the dock with the parts.
That is the point of the annual service. Impeller, thermostats, plugs, filters, gear oil, anodes and a full electrical check before the first run to the Pass, with parts in hand so it is done in one visit. Text the serial number and we quote it.
Wherever your Gasparilla Island boat sits, we come to it, and we answer every time. Tell us the year, make, and what it’s doing.
