La Conner Maritime Service

Best boat yard around. I have had my boats serviced and stored here for over 15 years and they are always accommodating to my needs and a pleasure to work with. A few years ago we hit a rock and they pulled us to swap our props at closing on a Friday allowing us to get back to our vacation. I highly recommend LaConner Maritime!

Customer for life! Not enough can be said about the quality of the people, the property and the equipment at La Conner Maritime. End of last year (2022) I was 3 hours into a boating trip that embarked the day after Christmas with the destination of the San Juan's and ended up taking on a log that was just under the surface of the water new Strawberry Point. With vibrations above RPM, La Conner was our layover to cross load to a vessel that was following us and continue North leaving my boat behind. Turns out all 3 boats in our party needed maintenance and we decided to stay in La Conner till morning. I was able to leave a message for La Conner Maritime who was the ONLY business in the area that called me back the following day. They told me they had a slot in the afternoon that they could do a haul out. They ended up calling me earlier and telling me they could get me in sooner so I loaded up my crew and we putted into the stall where 5 gentlemen were waiting and guided me in like absolute pros. Marco and his team were extremely helpful. They gave clear and concise instructions and took absolute care with my vessel. They hauled me out, me and my team assessed damage & banged on a new wheel and they dropped me back in in less than 45min and we made Sucia for an unforgettable week long trip. Could not have done it without their team. On top of that, their systems were down due to the storm and flooding in town so they actually let me go without paying, to follow up on our return trip through. They get people and that's how they get and retain their customers. Eternally grateful for this business, its services, and the salt of the earth people that work there. I am a LaConner Maritime customer for life and will be seeking out their services when needing any haul out work done. Thank LMS, #BoatLife is a happy client.

Outstanding service from every team member at LMS. Especially Mark, Angus, Marcia, Colin, Marco, the entire yard crew, Scott...the list goes on and on. Excellent work ethic, great communication, exceed expectations, they clearly value their customers!

I heard about this place from friends who have had some work done there and the Ranger tug community. This is a first class operation!! I've had some engine maintenance and minor repairs done as well as extensive hull work with sand blasting and bottom paint. Everyone was professional and friendly. Work is done as promised at a reasonable price. I will recommend them to everyone and will be back.

Mark went out of his way to fit me in their busy schedule the next day. One of his competitors wanted to schedule me out 2weeks and charge me 8 times my total La Conner Maritime Services bill. I give La Conner Maritime Services my highest recommendation to anyone.

very friendly, professional and knowledgeable service staff. Reasonable shop rates and quality work. clean and well-maintained yard. A good spot for all your boating service needs.

Had to have my stabilizers serviced and they found an unexpected issue that they were able manage without having to order a replacement! Highly competent and professional!

Best boatyard in this area by far. Everyone is very helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone needing boat work.

Great guys. Mostly young and energetic but not too young. Quality work at a fair price, as well as accommodating. Very busy, but if you plan ahead, I think you will be very pleased with their operation.

Randy and Mark and everyone in the crew really treated us well over the last week. We had a lot of dry dock maintenance done. And despite the multi-layered complexity, all was calm, cool, collected & efficient. Thanks everyone for your professionalism!

When was the last time you thought you got 5-star service from a place that provides services for your boat? Not often I'm sure, but LaConner Maritime Service gets a 5-stars for the recent bottom paint job they did on my small aluminum (welded) boat. It was not a big job, but it had to be done right and they met all my expectations. Randy, the service writer, was very helpful at all stages from the initial contact to completion of the job. They said it might take a month to get done (worked in between other jobs) and they completed the job in two weeks. And the price was in line with other full-service yards that I contacted. It is also one of the cleanest, professional looking facilities I have seen.

I just had the Hide-A-Davit installed. 5 Stars—Worth every $ — Excellent. The best hydraulic davit out there !! Easy to deploy and retrieve tender in 30 secs or less with push button remote control. Ideal solution to keep my new RIB horizontal despite my tiny (24” wide) swim step. After retrieval, the tender tucks in over top of the swim step (to save LOA) while still allowing full access to either side of swimstep during docking (by lowering davit part way).

The backstory: Ten years ago I purchased a 38 foot Tri-Cabin Trawler for cruising Puget Sound. It came with a 10 ft Livingston hard shell and 5 HP outboard on a rotating transom mount using Weaver snap davits to secure onto the 24” deep swim step. It was a pain to deploy/retrieve, requiring I stand on the swimstep to manually rotate the outboard 90 degrees while simultaneously lifting the tender with an electric winch and cable. The snap davits were sometimes difficult to release during launching, making it unreliable in an emergency situation.

My goal was to upgrade to a larger tender which would be a safe life-raft when my family was onboard. Thus, it was important to have a quick and easy launch that anyone onboard could perform. Over the last 7+ years I have watched and compared every davit system out there that could handle a 400-500 pound RIB (cradles, winches, lifts, hydraulics, etc) and watched all the online videos I could find. I kept a checklist of the features I wanted and no other system provided everything I needed except the Hide-A-Davit. I had mine Installed by the pros who developed it at LaConner Maritime. My new tender (12 ft Highfield aluminum bottom RIB, 20HP Honda, center console, on-board gas can) rests horizontally on the Hide-a-Davit and deploys/retrieves in seconds with the touch of a button. The davit is well engineered, strong and stable. Fantastic addition to my yachting experience. I will now be able to explore and enjoy the waterways while anchored out, and have a much larger margin of safety for everyone on board. My thanks to Isaac, Mark, and the whole crew at LaConner Maritime for this great design and professional installation.

LMS is a stellar operation. I had work performed there from a referral and I was amazed at how timely, responsive and dedicated they are to their craft. I especially want to extend a huge thank you to Randy and Mark for the stellar work they performed to get me back on the water when the alternative was several months out. Should you have a need, I highly recommend this yard above ALL others within a 100 mile range. Cheers LMS!

Friggin top notch service. Had these guys build me a custom anchor winch for my fishing vessel. Not only was the winch exactly how I wanted it.... it was dang near half the price of other companies I called. Alex was the guy who was working with me. When I picked up the winch he was super informative, and walked me through the the whole process. Highly recommend them for any marine fabrication needs you have.

On time and professional. My work was not particularly challenging, bottom paint, and zincs. The haulout, blocking, and re-launch was completed exactly as Randy predicted. The $$ was LESS than expected.
We will be back when we need services in the future.

I had a discourse with a rock last summer and Randy's people replaced both props, a drive shaft and a strut for me. While we were on the hard I also had the bottom painted. I was very impressed by the professional service I received.

Courteous, extremely helpful, prompt! Best boatyard ever.

Hauled out here for survey and then for trucking. Great staff and office. Very helpful.

Great repair work and fair price would recommend their service department for all repaires

Good price and very accommodating.
