OUR SERVICES

Inboard Boat Repair

Inboard and sterndrive repair for cruisers and ski boats on Lake Pontchartrain and the Northshore rivers, done at your slip or lift.

Outboard Repair

Shallow marsh runs, oyster shell, and stumps are hard on lower units. We repair props, gearcases, and powerheads on every major outboard brand.

Boat Electrical Repairs

Louisiana humidity corrodes terminals and switches faster than most owners expect. We trace electrical faults and fix them at the source.

Jet Ski Repair

PWC repair and seasonal service for riders on the lake, the bayous, and the Gulf coast beaches.

Marine Diesel Repair

Diesel service for offshore boats running out of Venice and Grand Isle, plus larger cruisers at the city’s marinas.

Fiberglass

Hull and gelcoat repair for grounding damage, dock impacts, and the wear that comes from fishing tight marsh.

Detailing

Thorough cleaning and protective treatments that keep mildew, sun, and brackish water from wearing down your boat.

Trailer Repair

Brackish launches and long drives to the coast wear out bearings, brakes, and lights. We repair trailers so the trip down Highway 23 goes smoothly.

New Orleans' Mobile Marine Mechanic

About Poseidon Mobile Marine Mechanics

Most boats around New Orleans live somewhere that’s hard to reach: a lift behind a Northshore house, a slip at West End, a trailer at a fishing camp in Lafitte. Getting them to a shop takes a full day you’d rather spend on the water.

So we come to you. A Poseidon Marine technician brings the tools and diagnostic equipment to your boat, finds the problem, and in most cases fixes it during the same visit.

Our mobile marine mechanics are licensed, insured, and certified on all major inboard and outboard brands. Whatever you run, we know how to work on it.

Why Choose Poseidon Marine for Boat Repair in New Orleans?

Technicians Who Know Louisiana Boats

Southeast Louisiana boating is mostly shallow, brackish, and hard on equipment. Our technicians see the same problems here every week: clogged water pickups, chewed-up props, and corroded wiring. That pattern recognition means faster diagnosis and fewer repeat visits. We’re certified on every major engine brand, from bay boat outboards to offshore diesels.

Warranty-Backed Work, Clear Pricing

We stand behind every repair with a warranty. You pay an hourly rate plus parts, and we explain the problem and the cost before we start. If a repair isn’t worth doing, we’ll say so.

24/7 Emergency Service Across the Region

A dead engine the night before a redfish trip is exactly when you need someone to answer the phone. Our emergency line runs 24/7, and our mobile units cover the south shore, the Northshore, and the parishes toward the coast.

A Mechanic Who Calls You Back

Ask any boat owner in New Orleans about their last repair and you’ll probably hear about waiting. Weeks on a shop list, no updates, a surprise bill. We run things differently: confirmed appointments, technicians who show up on time, and a clear explanation of what we did and why.

The team at Poseidon was excellent. From scheduling with Shawn to the timely arrivial of Steve the technician, the service was professional, knowledgable and courteous. I highly recommend using them for all of your boating needs.

Dan M.

Was looking around to find someone to do service on my jet boat. I found that they had a mobile service, so they came to my house and did a complete service on my boat. Billy was very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend anyone looking to have service done to give them a call.

Shelby D.

Good communication, professional, great service. Our problem ended up being complex but Austin took the time to troubleshoot and ensure everything was working before he left. He was very knowledgeable and helped us understand the problem and how to maintain moving forward. Highly recommend!

New Orleans Boat Repair FAQs

Is there a mobile marine mechanic in New Orleans?

Yes. Poseidon Marine provides mobile boat repair across the New Orleans area. A certified technician comes to your dock, slip, boat lift, or driveway, diagnoses the problem on-site, and completes most repairs during the same visit.

Do you service boats on the Northshore?

Yes. We regularly work on boats in Mandeville, Madisonville, Covington, Slidell, and Lacombe, including boats on lifts at waterfront homes and in slips along the Tchefuncte River. You don’t need to bring the boat across the lake.

Can you fix prop and lower unit damage from hitting oyster reefs or stumps?

Yes. Grounding damage is one of the most common repairs we see in southeast Louisiana. We inspect the prop, skeg, and gearcase, check for water in the gear oil, and repair or replace damaged parts. Catching a leaking seal early can prevent a full lower unit failure.

Why does my outboard overheat in Lake Pontchartrain or the marsh?

Overheating around New Orleans is usually caused by mud, silt, or grass blocking the water intake, or by a worn water pump impeller. Running in very shallow water makes both more likely. If your tell-tale stream weakens or an overheat alarm sounds, shut down and have the cooling system checked before running again.

How much does boat repair cost in New Orleans?

Poseidon Marine charges an hourly labor rate plus parts, with no hidden fees. Costs vary by engine type and repair, so we give you an explanation and estimate before work begins. Call with your boat and engine details for a quote.

How often should a boat used in brackish water be serviced?

Plan on a full service at least once a year or every 100 hours, whichever comes first. Boats used in brackish water also benefit from a freshwater flush after every trip and regular anode checks, since corrosion builds faster than in fresh water.

Can you come to my fishing camp in Lafitte, Delacroix, or Hopedale?

Yes, as long as the location is reachable by road. Many of our customers keep boats at camps or private docks south of the city. Give us the address and access details when you book and we’ll plan the visit around them.

What engine brands do you repair?

We repair all major brands, including Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Honda, Evinrude, Johnson, Tohatsu, Volvo Penta, Detroit Diesel, and BRP. We also install and troubleshoot electronics such as Garmin, Lowrance, Humminbird, Simrad, and Power-Pole shallow water anchors. Poseidon Marine is an authorized Honda Marine dealer.

How should I prepare my boat for hurricane season in Louisiana?

Before the season starts in June, make sure your bilge pumps, float switches, and batteries work, and that the engine starts reliably. Check trailer tires, bearings, and lights in case you need to pull the boat ahead of a storm. If your boat lives on a lift, have the lift motor and cables inspected too.

Do you offer emergency boat repair in New Orleans?

Yes. Our emergency line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call us and we’ll send the nearest available technician to diagnose the problem and get your boat back in service as fast as possible.
