We service boats at marinas, private docks, boat lifts, residences, and other suitable locations. Whether you are keeping up with routine maintenance or trying to determine why your boat is not running properly, our goal is to make getting the service you need easier.
Off The Chart Marine is locally owned and owner operated, so you work directly with the person evaluating and servicing your boat.
Looking Beyond the Immediate Problem
Boat problems are not always as simple as replacing the first component that appears to have failed. The engine, fuel system, electrical system, batteries, controls, steering, and other components work together, and an issue with one system can sometimes create problems elsewhere.
Our approach to boat repair starts with determining what is happening and looking for the root cause of the problem. We take the time to diagnose the issue, evaluate related systems when necessary, and explain what we find before recommending a repair.
Repair capabilities include:
- Engine diagnostics and troubleshooting
- Fuel system repairs
- Electrical system diagnostics and repairs
- Cooling and ignition system repairs
- Starting and charging system repairs
- Steering system repairs
- Trim and tilt repairs
- Preventive inspections
If your boat is difficult to start, running poorly, losing power, displaying a warning, or experiencing another performance problem, contact Off The Chart Marine to arrange mobile boat repair in Wrightsville Beach.
Keep Your Boat Running Strong
Staying current with routine maintenance is one of the best ways to protect your boat's performance and reliability. Manufacturer recommended service can also provide an opportunity to identify developing problems before they become more expensive repairs or lead to an unexpected issue on the water.
Off The Chart Marine provides routine maintenance for inboard and outboard powered boats throughout Wrightsville Beach. Depending on your boat and engine, service may include oil and filter changes, lower unit service, water pump service, inspections, and other recommended maintenance.
Because we are mobile, many maintenance services can be completed where your boat is normally kept, saving you the trouble of transporting it to a shop for routine service.

Wrightsville Beach Boat repair & Maintenance FAQs
1. Can you work on a boat while it is on a boat lift?
In many cases, yes. Some repairs and maintenance can be completed while your boat is on a lift, depending on the work required, accessibility, and whether the service can be performed safely and properly. Let us know how your boat is stored and what it needs so we can determine whether the work can be completed there.
2. Should I have my boat inspected before a busy boating season?
Having your boat checked before you expect to use it frequently can be a good opportunity to identify maintenance needs or developing problems. Fluids, batteries, cooling components, starting and charging systems, and other important areas can be evaluated based on your boat, engine, and service history.
3. What information should I provide when scheduling a mobile boat repair?
Providing your boat and engine information, where the boat is located, and a description of the problem can help us prepare for the service call. If you have noticed warning alarms, unusual sounds, performance changes, starting problems, or know when the issue began, sharing those details can also be helpful when beginning the diagnostic process.
