What We Commission

Back In The Water The Right Way

Commissioning brings a winterized boat back to life, from engines and generators to water systems, heads, and canvas.

Every system we winterize in the fall gets recommissioned in the spring. Antifreeze is flushed, systems are refilled and tested, and engines are started and checked before your boat is launched for the season.
