Charlevoix sits in the middle of a stretch of Northern Michigan where boat work follows the calendar: haul out in the fall, storage over winter, launch in the spring. The 6 boat repair shops on this page lean that way, with storage, pickup and delivery and fiberglass work more common than specialty engine building. Most of the shops here are family owned yards that pair repair with seasonal care, so the same crew that fixes a boat in July is often the one that hauls it out in October.
Irish Boat Shop has served boaters since 1961 as a family owned boatyard with three locations: Harbor Springs, Charlevoix and Traverse City. It sells new and pre owned boats and maintains and repairs power and sail, from diesels and gas engines to inboards, outdrives, outboards, sail drives and jet drives. It holds 4.4 from 61 reviews. Dry Harbour Marine is a Charlevoix dealership with a service center, family owned and serving Northern Michigan for over 25 years. It handles inspections, winterization and spring commissioning, and boats go into secure indoor storage after a haul out cleaning. Rating: 4.5 from 46 reviews.
Bergmann Marine is family owned and operated and works in used boat sales, repair and storage for Northwest Michigan boaters. Its year round work includes brokerage, mobile service, major dry dock repairs, haul outs, winter storage, spring launching, woodworking, painting, fiberglass and electrical repair, diesel repair and emergency services.
