Boat Repair & Maintenance in Anacortes & La Conner
Every trade in one yard, so the boat comes out once
Paint, engines, composites, electrical, fabrication and joinery, at two yards on the Salish Sea — ESI North in Anacortes and ESI South in La Conner, where the 100-ton lift is. Every job is done by technicians trained through ESI University and in the manufacturers’ own classes.
Most jobs on a boat touch more than one trade. Here they are benches in the same yard, on one schedule — not three companies, three calendars and three people to point at when the job runs long.
In the water and out of it
Hull, coatings & structure
Haul-Out & Travel Lift
Out of the water when you need it, at either yard, day or night. To 100 tons at La Conner.
Hempel Silic One
A bottom that is cleaned and recoated, not repainted. Hempel-certified crews, with more boats coated than at any yard in the country.
Bottom Paint & Antifouling
The right system for how the boat is used, priced on the spot. Certified Hempel and Sea Hawk applicators, every coat measured wet.
Topside & Deck Refinishing
A tired finish brought back better than built. Faired by hands with decades in the trade, sprayed in a 120-foot climate-controlled booth.
Fiberglass & Composites
Damage repaired until it disappears, and parts the factory no longer makes built from our own molds. Six levels of composites training behind every repair.
Boat Trailer Service
A trailer that tows, brakes and loads the way it should, serviced to the standard our technicians are certified to.
RV Painting
A yacht finish for your coach, sprayed in our climate-controlled booth by the crew who paint the yachts.
Power, systems & steel
Propulsion, electrical & fabrication
Yanmar Engine Repowers
A worn-out engine replaced, with the beds, alignment, exhaust and wiring done in the same yard. Gold-Level Yanmar dealer, factory-trained technicians.
Bow Thrusters & Stabilizers
Thrusters that make docking safe, controlled and comfortable in any conditions. Stabilizers that turn a rough, seasick day into a comfortable one. Fitted in-house by the area’s only certified ABT‑TRAC and WESMAR installers.
Marine Electrical & Lithium
The drain, the nuisance trip, the fault that only shows up underway — found and fixed to a written procedure by technicians certified in marine electrical and LiFePO4.
EPOCH Marine Batteries
More usable power from a lighter bank, installed as a system. Lithium packs built for boats since the early 2000s, with the stock on our shelf.
Fabrication & Cabinetry
The arch, the rail, the tank or the cabinet, made and fitted by one crew so it fits the first time. When the part no longer exists, we make it.
Marine Supply Stores
The part on the shelf, fifty feet from the technician who fits it.

Pleasure and commercial vessels, sail and power, from the San Juans to Puget Sound.
Where we work
Puget Sound, the San Juans and the whole of the Salish Sea
Two yards in the middle of the cruising ground: ESI North in Anacortes, and ESI South on the Swinomish Channel at La Conner.
The length of Puget Sound
Boats come up from Seattle and Everett, and down from British Columbia.
The San Juan Islands
We service the San Juan Islands. An island boat is hauled, worked and back in the water without a long delivery at either end of the job.
Tribal fisheries
We haul and maintain tribal fishing vessels alongside the cruising fleet.
Free for every customer
A complimentary 18-point inspection
An expert technician tests the boat’s systems and writes up every point as Excellent, Good, Monitor, Attention or Critical — a written report telling you what is sound, what to keep an eye on, and what has to be dealt with before it goes back in the water. Free with every job.
EXCELLENT
GOOD
MONITOR
ATTENTION
CRITICAL
