Mobile and Local Boat Service in Long Beach and San Pedro
We service boats at your slip, dock or storage yard from Marina del Rey to Newport Beach, or at our San Pedro shop. Breeze Marine Boat Service is a mobile marine mechanic, and this page brings our routine care, upgrades and dockside help together.
What the work covers
- Mobile service: mobile boat service where the boat is kept, including dockside breakdown help (we fit urgent jobs in as soon as we can) and mobile fuel pump-out and disposal.
- Local service: local service from our San Pedro shop, dock-to-shop boat transport, and in-water hull cleaning and zinc replacement by a diver we refer you to, who works for you directly.
- Maintenance and inspections: boat maintenance and inspections, from a monthly captain's check and systems run-up to seasonal service, winterization, spring commissioning and boat care plans (scheduled checkups with member discounts on repairs).
- Refit and modernization: boat refit and modernization, including LED interior and underwater lighting, dash panel and switch upgrades, and system refits.
When to call
- The boat has sat for weeks and you are not sure it will start
- Seasonal service is due, or you cannot remember when it was last done
- The hull is fouled or the zincs look worn
- The fuel is old or has picked up water
- The boat breaks down at the dock
- The lighting or the dash is due for an update
Questions about boat service
Do you come to the boat, or do I bring it in?
Either works. We come to your slip, dock or storage yard from Marina del Rey to Newport Beach. For a job that suits the shop, our dock-to-shop boat transport can bring the boat to San Pedro.
Which engines do you work on?
Mercury, MerCruiser, Yamaha, Volvo Penta, Indmar, Yanmar and Cummins, among others. Tell us the make and model in your ticket.
What happens after I book?
We agree the job and a time for the visit. We quote any repair we find during a check before any work is done.
Book a visit: submit a ticket with the boat, where it is kept and what it needs, or call our number.

#51 Common question asks
What's included in a boat care plan?
-
Our Basic, Premium and Pro+ boat care plans include scheduled checkups at the boat, a photo report after each and no trip fee on any visit. Members get 10%, 15% or 20% off repair labor (by plan) and 10% off parts we install. You join with a full inspection, from $1,500 for a boat up to 25 ft with one engine; plan prices and details are on our boat care plans page. A plan is not insurance or a warranty.

#49 Common question asks
Can you polish and fix fiberglass damage on-site?
-
Yes, for cosmetic work: we repair gelcoat chips and small non-structural fiberglass damage above the waterline and polish the boat at the dock. Structural damage is referred to a boatyard.

#47 Common question asks
How much does a one-time repair cost?
-
Labor is $150 an hour, plus a trip fee by distance for each visit: $75 in Huntington Harbour, $110 in Newport Beach. A diagnosis is at least $300 for each engine and $300 for the electrical system; then you get a written estimate for labor, parts and the trip fee, and nothing is done without your OK. For regular care, see our Basic, Premium and Pro+ boat care plans.

#45 Common question asks
Do I need to haul my boat for service?
-
Usually not. Most engine, electrical, fuel and cooling repairs are done where the boat is kept. Work below the waterline, such as drive, bellows or gimbal bearing jobs and hull damage, needs the boat out of the water; the haul-out is the yard's charge and is listed on your estimate.
-
-
#43 Common question asks
Can you fix both outboard and inboard engines?
-
Absolutely. We repair outboards, inboards, and sterndrives – diesel or gasoline.

#41 Common question asks
Do you offer mobile boat repair in Dana Point Harbor?
-
Dana Point Harbor is past our regular area (Marina del Rey to Newport Beach), but you can ask: put the harbor, slip and job in your ticket and we will tell you if we can schedule a visit. Harbors past Newport Beach have a trip fee of $25 plus $2.50 a mile, one way.

#39 Common question asks
Do you offer a service package for marinas?
-
Our scheduled service is the Basic, Premium and Pro+ boat care plans, which each owner joins for their own boat: checkups at the boat on a schedule, a photo report after each, no trip fee on any visit, 10%, 15% or 20% off repair labor and 10% off parts we install. For other work we plan the visits with you, and each owner gets a written estimate before anything is done.
-
-
#37 Common question asks
Can you service boats directly in the marina without haul-out?
-
Many jobs, yes: most engine, electrical, fuel and cooling work is done at the slip. Work below the waterline, such as sterndrive, bellows or gimbal bearing service, needs the boat out of the water, so it is done at a boatyard and the yard's haul-out charge is listed on your estimate.
-
-
#35 Common question asks
Can you look after several boats for one company?
-
Yes. Send us the list of boats, where each one is kept and the engine types, and we plan the visits with you. Each job gets a written estimate before work starts; labor is $150 an hour plus the trip fee for work at the boat.
-
-
#33 Common question asks
Can we book seasonal inspections for all slip tenants?
-
Yes, we can plan seasonal checkups at your marina, but each boat owner books and approves the work on their own boat and gets a written estimate before any repair. Owners on a care plan pay no trip fee on any visit and get a photo report after each checkup.
