Yacht Service and Boat Maintenance

Repair | Maintain | Install

Anacortes Yacht Service offers a full range of boat maintenance and yacht service in Anacortes and throughout Fidalgo Island – plus emergency service throughout the San Juan Islands. Our mobile marine technicians and mechanics are available to conduct on-site inspection, repair and maintenance of your vessel in any marina or boatyard in our service area.

Our team of certified technicians has over 100 years of combined yacht service experience on a ginormous number of motor yachts and sailboats.

Anacortes Yacht Service is a division of Anacortes Yacht Charters and has long been known as the experts that have serviced and maintained the AYC fleet for 45 years.

But that’s not all…

The Anacortes Yacht Service team also services, repairs and maintains numerous privately owned powerboats and sailboats that are not part of the Anacortes Yacht Charters fleet.

Our Services

Total Yacht Management

Our Total Yacht Management program is ideal for remote boat owners. This annual turn-key program is designed to give you the peace of mind that your boat is properly maintained, and to make it easy for you to board and depart for your journey. Our service team will monitor your vessel on a regular basis to:

  • ensure that your boat is securely moored,
  • run the engines
  • check that the battery charge, engine oil, transmission fluid and other critical fluid levels are within spec,
  • confirm dehumidifiers are working properly
  • clean the interior and exterior of the boat prior to your arrival and after your departure

Winter Watch

We will regularly monitor your boat through the off-season to make sure that dehumidifiers and heaters are functioning and that the boat is safely moored – before and after winter storms.

Emergency Response

Throughout our 45-year history servicing the AYC charter fleet we have developed a rapid response system as well as a network of trusted, vetted technicians and mechanics to respond to breakdowns and mechanical emergencies throughout the San Juan Islands.

Depending on your location and circumstances we would:

  • deploy our service technicians to make the repair on-site, or
  • arrange for a trusted member of our support network to make the repair on-site, or
  • help arrange for a vessel tow to the nearest repair facility

Our Services Include:

Design, install and repair AC/DC systems to ABYC standards (e.g., battery systems and inverters)
