Island Marine Service was established in 1992 on Badgers Island in Kittery, Maine repairing, maintaining and storing power boats for the seacoast area. Management and our technicians each have 20 plus years’ experience working in the marine industry, mostly in southern Maine and Portsmouth Harbor.
We currently occupy a 20,000 sq. ft. building with 4 acres of outside storage located at 32 Route 236 in Kittery, Maine. 7,000 sq. ft. of our building is heated and used for marine repairs and inside storage. In addition to our repair shop we also own and operate Badgers Island Marina, a 27 slip marina on Badgers Island. Island Marine Service is the seacoasts only Mercury/ Mercruiser dealer to archive Premier Dealer status and an authorized Honda Marine service dealer. Each year our technicians attend factory service training, possess the factory special tools and diagnostic scan tools required for servicing these engines.
Our company has successfully completed a wide variety of upgrades and repairs found in today’s pleasure and commercial vessels including repairs to both gas and diesel engines, engine and generator repowering, repairs to fresh and salt water cooling systems, direct shaft, stern drive and jet propulsion systems, mechanical and hydraulic steering systems, electronics installations, electrical repairs as well as complete seasonal hull and engine maintenance for hundreds of boaters annually.
