A concise repair estimate is only written when a boat is scheduled for inspection and left at our facility for repair. A free verbal estimate is always accommodated if you want to email photos of damage for an estimator to review.

Send over your information through our contact page and attach pictures showing the severity of damage. An estimator will be in touch with soonest repair availability.

The name was inspired by the old nautical saying "Land was created to provide a place for boats to visit."

If boat damage is structural in nature (exposed fiberglass under waterline, taking on water, etc), you will want to get that repaired right away. We prioritize structurally damaged boats and can get you immediately scheduled for prompt repair service.

For cosmetic repair services, if damage is not affecting the use of the boat, we usually suggest that you enjoy the summer boating and bring it in for repairs when you're done for the season.

This depends on: 

(1) The extent of damage

(2) If it is an insurance claim

(3) Replacement parts availability (if applicable)

(4) Our current workload

An estimator will be able to discuss possible repair timeframes after reviewing the scope of watercraft damage. An insurance claim can delay the repair process by 2-5+ days due to the standard timeframe of insurance company review and estimate approval. 

During the peak season (April-July), it is not uncommon for us to be booked for 4-6 weeks or more.

It depends on the scope of your restoration project and our current workload and schedule. Typical complete (exterior/interior) factory restorations can take 9-12 months.

Due to the high demand of our services we currently have a repair waitlist.

Structurally damaged watercraft (severe damage, risk of sinking, insurance claims, etc) are prioritized for repair and receive the fastest service with shortest wait time.

Cosmetic damage and damage that doesn't affect the use of the boat (minor imperfections, small damage, etc) have a longer wait time. We recommend addressing cosmetic damage during the off-season when you're done using the boat.

With many variables that impact our schedule, we cannot guarantee boat drop-off dates or job completion dates.

When we have space available for your boat we will call to schedule a drop-off date/time, and when we complete repairs to your boat we will give a call to arrange boat pickup.
