Our story

Built around the work

Atlantic Boat Repair opened in 1986 to do one thing better than anyone in the area: rebuild outboards. We rebuild more than 100 engines a year, which is why local boaters call us The Outboard Guys. We know how nearly every major outboard and I/O engine fails and what is worth fixing, and marinas, summer camps, and boat owners send us work from across the country because our rebuilds run and last the way they should.

We are the shop boaters rely on all season. Hauling, storage, shrink wrapping, winterizing, tune-ups, and repairs all happen under one roof, backed by up to date diagnostics, EFI tooling, and a large inventory of used parts that keep your fix fast and affordable. As owner Ron Cribbie says, nothing matters more than meeting, or exceeding, customer expectations.

Can’t say enough good things about Atlantic Boat Repair. Ron, Ryan, and the whole team were awesome to work with. They got my 2003 Montauk in quickly, installed my new Garmin, repaired my lower unit, kept me updated throughout the entire process, and had me back on the water just a couple of days later, right before the holiday weekend. They even sent one of their guys to pick up a part the same day so there wouldn’t be any delays getting us back out. The communication, turnaround time, and quality of the work were all exceptional. Finding a shop you can truly trust is hard, and I genuinely won’t take my boat anywhere else. They’ve earned a customer for life! Thanks again, guys!

I am consistently impressed with Ryan, Ron and the rest of the crew at Atlantic. They are knowledgeable, friendly and professional. More importantly, they are prompt to respond if I have questions or issues. Our boating season is short and I'm happy to have this crew making sure my boat stays afloat!

My first experience with these guys and couldn’t be happier. Ryan and the entire team made me feel like my small project was always a priority. Made an appointment….which they kept….and had my boat back right on schedule. Plus, and more importantly, it was done right with no short cuts. Quality work, excellent service and fair price. Can’t ask for more than that these days! Highly recommended!

I recently had to upgrade my older outboards to something a little newer and with more horsepower. Ron and Ryan were extremely helpful when I was looking for engines, and when I did find a pair of 250's, they took delivery of them, removed my old engines and had the new ones installed in no time. We also worked through some electronics upgrades as well. They had some great suggestions and I'm extremely happy with the end result. The communication through the whole process was outstanding, they would always provide updates and expected completion date. This all occurred during one of their busiest times of the year. Can't say enough good things about the team at Atlantic!

Last Friday I had an issue with my boat when I first put it in the water and noticed I had no steering. I was lucky enough to get the boat back on the trailer and took it home. The steering cable was frozen solid. Gave thought about replacing the cable myself, but realized what a job it would be. I went to Atlantic boat rentals to inquire about the repair. I met with Ryan and he indicated that he could work on it that day.I got a call the following Monday and he told me it was all set. I couldn’t believe how fast he got this taken care of for me. I would highly recommend this place of business for your boat repairs.
