About Us

Mike’s passion for boating began at a young age, growing up on a 32-foot Chris-Craft that his father purchased shortly after high school. The family spent nearly every summer weekend on Lake St. Clair, a scenic body of water connecting Lake Erie and Lake Huron, just north of Detroit, MI. This early exposure to boating ignited.

 

Mike’s lifelong love for the water and marine mechanics.

At just 14 years old, Mike began working at a local marine company as a mechanic’s assistant, performing a range of tasks and learning the ropes of the trade. His fascination with boats and watercraft grew quickly, and by the age of 20, Mike was skilled enough to tackle complete engine rebuilds. Over the years, he honed his craft under the guidance of some of the best in the industry.

 

At 25, Mike relocated to Hilton Head Island, where he worked at Thunderbolt Shipyard, focusing primarily on servicing and maintaining mega yachts. This experience further solidified his expertise in high-end marine vessels. After relocating to Charlotte at 27, Mike established Charlotte Boat Repair, a mobile marine service company that has since become a trusted name in the area.

 

While Charlotte Boat Repair operates primarily as a mobile service, we’ve found a permanent home at Riverside Marina in Belmont, North Carolina, conveniently located off Wilkinson Blvd on Lake Wylie.

 

Mike’s goal is simple: to provide top-quality, reliable service to every customer. With years of experience and a dedication to customer satisfaction, Charlotte Boat Repair is fully equipped to handle all of your boating repair needs—big or small.
