Why Lauderdale Marine Services

Owner-run.
Hands-on. Accountable.

We are a highly customized, owner-run yacht services business. Our focus is on being personal, hands-on and cost-effective.

01

Direct line to the owners

You talk to Mark or John, not a call center or a junior manager.

02

One team for everything

We run the whole job: trades, yard, parts and crew. No juggling vendors.

03

Transparent pricing

Clear quotes, cost-efficient work and no surprises on the invoice.

04

Done right the first time

Safety is not an optional extra. Every vendor is held to our standard.

How we work
