Looking for reliable boat service near Fort Myers? Skip the tow. Our certified mobile boat mechanic brings complete marine repair services to your dock, lift, or driveway. From engine diagnostics to full boat maintenance, Fort Myers boaters get factory-level work performed right where the boat sits, across Cape Coral, Naples, Punta Gorda, Sanibel, and all of Lee County.
"We removed the shop from the equation — same factory-level work, without your boat ever leaving the water."
— Island Marine Repair
Island Marine Repair LLC was built around one simple observation: the hardest part of boat repair isn't the repair, it's 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 small fix into a lost season. So we removed the shop from the equation entirely.
We're a fully mobile marine mechanic operation headquartered in Fort Myers, running service units stocked with dealership-grade diagnostic computers, marine-grade parts, and the specialty tools that dockside work demands. Whether your boat is on a lift behind a Cape Coral canal home, in a slip at a Fort Myers marina, or on a trailer in your driveway, we perform the same caliber of work a service department would without your boat ever leaving the water.
Southwest Florida is a demanding place to own a boat. Saltwater, brutal UV, year-round humidity, and heavy use accelerate corrosion, fuel degradation, and electrical failure faster than almost anywhere in the country. Our boat maintenance services are built specifically around those local conditions, because a mechanic who understands Gulf Coast wear patterns catches problems a generalist misses.
Lead Certified Marine Technician
Cody leads every job with a diagnose-first, replace-only-what's-broken approach. Customers consistently describe the same experience in their reviews: punctual arrivals, quick work, skilled hands, and fair pricing. He'll walk you through what failed, why it failed, and what it costs before a single wrench turns.
Traditional boat repair means logistics: a tow or haul fee before diagnosis even starts, a multi-week queue behind every other vessel in the yard, and zero visibility into what's actually being done to your boat. Mobile boat repair flips that model. The technician comes to the problem and you watch the work happen.
The average tow to a shop costs more than many of the repairs we perform. Our mobile boat mechanic arrives at your location with the parts and tools to resolve most jobs in a single visit, which is why same-day turnaround is our norm, not our exception.
You see every step. We show you the failed part, the diagnostic readout, and the fix in person, at your dock. When it comes to honest boat repair, Fort Myers owners shouldn't have to take a service writer's word for it.
Florida's saltwater and heat punish cooling systems, wiring, and fuel components year-round. Our preventive boat maintenance services target exactly those failure points impellers, anodes, connections, injectors before they strand you offshore.
No handoffs between departments. The certified mobile marine mechanic who diagnoses your engine is the same one who repairs it, tests it, and hands you the keys.
From routine boat maintenance to complex engine diagnostics, we bring the full workshop to you. Every service below is performed dockside, at your lift, or in your driveway by a certified technician across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, and all of Southwest Florida. Tap any card for details.

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 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 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 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.
