Question 1

Do you offer emergency marine AC repair on weekends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide emergency marine AC repair 7 days a week throughout Southwest Florida. Weekend and after-hours emergency rate is $220/hr. Call 239-323-9600 — if we can't answer immediately, we'll call back within 30 minutes.

Question 2

How fast can you get to my boat for an emergency AC repair?

Accepted Answer

For boats in the Fort Myers / Cape Coral area, we can typically arrive within 2-4 hours for true emergencies. Naples, Sanibel, and Marco Island may take slightly longer. We prioritize liveaboards, charter vessels, and situations involving health/safety risks (elderly, children, pets aboard).

Question 3

What qualifies as an emergency marine AC repair?

Accepted Answer

Any situation where AC failure creates a health, safety, or significant financial risk: liveaboards in summer heat (cabin temps can exceed 130°F), charter boats with paying guests, vessels with elderly passengers or pets, boats where AC failure is causing moisture/mold damage to electronics or interior, and any vessel where the crew cannot safely remain aboard without cooling.

Question 4

How much does emergency boat AC repair cost?

Accepted Answer

Emergency/after-hours rate is $220/hr plus parts. Standard business hours rate is lower. Most emergency AC repairs (flush, impeller, thermostat) are resolved in 1-3 hours. We always give you a cost estimate before starting work — no surprises. For major repairs (compressor replacement), we'll diagnose the issue and schedule the repair for the next available slot.

Question 5

My boat AC died and I'm a liveaboard — what should I do right now?

Accepted Answer

Call us at 239-323-9600 immediately. While waiting: (1) Open all hatches and ports for ventilation. (2) Run fans to circulate air. (3) Close curtains/blinds on the sun side to reduce solar heat gain. (4) If you have a generator, make sure it's running to power fans. (5) Move to a shaded area of the boat. (6) Stay hydrated. In extreme heat, consider temporarily relocating to an air-conditioned space until we arrive.

Question 6

Can you repair my boat's AC at the marina or do I need to bring it to a shop?

Accepted Answer

We come to you. All of our marine AC repair is mobile — we service boats at marinas, docks, boatyards, and on the hard throughout Southwest Florida. No need to move your boat. We carry common parts, tools, and descaling equipment on our service vehicle.

Question 7

What areas do you cover for emergency marine AC repair?

Accepted Answer

We cover all of Southwest Florida: Fort Myers, Cape Coral, North Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, Pine Island, Bonita Springs, Naples, Marco Island, Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Englewood, and all marinas in between. For emergencies outside our normal service area, call and we'll do our best to accommodate.

Question 8

My charter boat's AC failed and I have guests arriving tomorrow — can you help?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we understand the urgency. Charter boat AC failures directly impact your revenue and reputation. Call 239-323-9600 and let us know the situation. We prioritize charter and commercial vessels because we understand the financial impact. Most common failures (scale, impeller, thermostat) can be resolved same-day.
