What happens when you call.

Any hour, a real person

Urgent calls are answered around the clock by a person. We ask where the boat is, what it is doing and whether everyone is safe, then confirm the next steps. Unable to call? Text 425 623 0719.

Emergency marina repair

Most urgent requests are boats stuck in the slip: no start before a trip, flat batteries, an alarm that will not clear or a bilge pump that keeps cycling. We repair at the marina so the boat does not have to move.

If you are on the water

If you lose power underway, make sure everyone is safe first. If you are in danger or drifting toward hazards, contact the Coast Guard on VHF channel 16 or a towing service. Once the boat is secure, call us with your location and we will arrange the repair.

Common urgent problems

No-starts, overheating, dead batteries and charging failures, warning alarms, thrusters that quit before docking and generators that shut down. See boat repair and marine electrical for how we diagnose them.

Questions

Before you book.

Is emergency boat repair really available 24/7?

Yes. Call 425 623 0719 at any hour, every day of the year.

What should I tell you when I call?

The boat, where it is (marina, slip or position) and what it is doing. If you can, text photos or a short video afterwards; they help us arrive with the right parts.

Do you tow boats?

Keelmark is a mobile repair service. If the boat needs a tow, contact a towing service or the Coast Guard first; we can repair the boat once it is secure.
