Short answer: Harbor Marine offers mobile boat service for Atlanta owners at Lake Lanier slips and at homes and storage facilities where outside work is allowed: routine engine care, diagnostics, detailing and winterization. Call (770) 967-8495.
Mobile service for city owners
Many Atlanta boats live in places where outside work is limited: storage facilities, townhome communities and neighborhoods with HOA rules. Others stay in a Lanier slip all season. Mobile service works best at the lake and at storage spots that allow it. Where it does not fit, the shop in Buford is the backup.
What we can do on site
- Oil and filter changes.
- Impeller and cooling checks.
- Battery and charging tests.
- Diagnostics.
- Bellows and drive inspections.
- Detailing.
- Winterization and spring prep.
We confirm what fits on site when you book.
At the lake
For boats kept in a Lanier slip, service at the marina is often the easiest option. Check the marina's rules for outside service. Some ask providers to check in or limit hours. A boat on a lift is easiest, since the drive is in reach.
Storage facilities and HOAs
Ask your facility or HOA about outside service before booking, and share any rules with us. If on-site work is not allowed, we will suggest the shop.
When the shop is better
Drive rebuilds, gearcase repairs, fiberglass, painting and gel coat work happen at 6516 Lanier Islands Parkway in Buford. If a visit finds one of these, we help plan the next step, including boat transport in Atlanta.
Planning the visit
Give us the marina and slip number or the facility and space, plus any check-in rules. Pricing, including any travel, is set when you call for a quote.
Weather
Storms and lightning push visits back, and detailing needs a dry day. If the forecast changes, we reach out to reschedule.
What affects a mobile visit
Pricing is set when you call for a quote. These are the things that change the size of the job:
- The work requested.
- Parts for that boat.
- Whether the boat is at the lake or in town.
- Findings that need the shop.
Regular visits at the slip
Many Atlanta owners who keep a boat in a Lanier slip book three visits a year: a spring wake-up, a mid-season check and fall winterization. The boat stays ready, and owners do not spend their lake days on maintenance.
What we bring
We bring the common parts, fluids, filters and tools for the jobs you booked. If we find something bigger, we explain it and help you decide whether it can wait or should go to the shop.
After the visit
We tell you what we did, what we saw and anything to keep an eye on, so you can plan ahead.
Why the slip is often best
For city owners, the lake is often the easiest place for service. There are fewer rules than at many storage facilities, the boat is ready to test in the water, and you do not lose a lake day to towing. Many owners leave the keys with the marina and let us work during the week.
Questions to ask your marina or facility
Before booking, ask your marina or storage facility a few questions: Is outside service allowed? Are there set hours? Does the provider need to check in or show insurance? Can we park near the boat? Share the answers with us so the visit goes smoothly. A little planning on both sides means less time waiting at the gate and more time working on the boat.
