A full-service marine company built by people who'd rather be on the water than anywhere else — and who got tired of watching boat owners struggle to find someone reliable to keep it that way.
Growing up on the water in the restaurant/resort, and marina business, boats were never just equipment to me. They were, in many cases, a sign of freedom I could only hope to achieve one day. Early morning water skiing with friends and family, easy afternoons under the sun, tying up at the sand bar, or fishing for the biggest largemouth bass and salt water game fish one could imagine, were the kind of days that stick with me even today. My wife and I still have the first "Big" boat we acquired. I have to pinch myself every time I step on board. We realize that for many of us, this is a dream come true.
Keeping a boat running and available for use became a hobby, then a skill, then a business.
Bow 2 Stern exists to take the stress out of boat ownership: no more chasing down someone who'll actually show up, no more guessing whether an installation or repair was done right. One network comprised of vetted, industry accredited service technicians, for a job that's done properly the first time.
We're a complete marine service company! Equipment sales, marine electrical & electronics, underwater & onboard lighting, canvas & covers, yacht services & refits, fiberglass & gelcoat, haulout & splash prep, winterizing, engine repair, maintenance, marine surveys, etc.
Location doesn't matter. Whether you're on a lake three hours from the nearest chandlery or tied up at a busy marina, the goal is the same — keep you, or get you back, on the water, safely and reliably. Bow 2 Stern is for mariners, by mariners.
