How long has Harbor Marine been around?

Harbor Marine has served Lake Lanier boaters for 25 years. In January 2026 the shop moved from Hideaway Bay to 6516 Lanier Islands Parkway in Buford.

How much will my repair cost?

Every boat and job is different, so pricing is set when you call. Call or text (770) 967-8495 with the boat and what it needs, and we will talk through a quote.

What kinds of boats does Harbor Marine work on?

We work on a wide range of recreational boats, including larger boats and yachts. The right service depends on the boat, the engine and drive, where it sits and what needs fixing. Call or text (770) 967-8495 with the make, model and what you are seeing, and we will confirm the next step.

Can you come to my marina or dock on Lake Lanier?

Yes. We offer mobile service around Lake Lanier, and we can arrange transport when a boat needs to come to the shop. Tell us your marina, dock or storage spot when you request service so we can plan the visit.

When should I book winterization?

Book as early in the fall as you can. Winterization, shrink wrap, bilge-heater setup and spring prep calendars fill up quickly once the weather turns, so an early call gets you a better spot on the schedule.

Where is the Harbor Marine shop?

We moved in January 2026. The shop is now at 6516 Lanier Islands Parkway in Buford, Georgia 30518. It is the same team serving Lake Lanier boaters.

What should I send when I request service?

Send the boat make and model, the engine or drive if you know it, where the boat is (marina, dock, storage or trailer) and a short description of the problem. A phone photo of the issue helps us come prepared.

Do you sell used boats or parts?

Sometimes. What is available changes, so call or text (770) 967-8495 to ask about a specific boat or part.

Do you offer painting and refinishing?

Yes. We paint and refinish hull sides, consoles and helms in the shop.

Which jobs can be done at my dock?

Routine engine service, battery tests, detailing and winterization often can. Drive rebuilds, fiberglass and painting happen in the shop.

Can you move my boat to the shop?

Yes. Ask about transport when you call.
