Sunshine Coast QLD
Your Trusted Marine Experts
Whether you’re getting ready for a family day out or a long morning chasing fish offshore, your boat needs to start first time and run reliably. Our team has been servicing boats on the Sunshine Coast for more than 25 years, from routine checks to urgent repairs. Bring your boat to our workshop at 3/11 Kelly Court, Buderim, or, for diesel servicing and many repair jobs, we can come to you at your marina, home or hardstand.
Why Choose Dolphin Marine for Boat Servicing?
We’re an authorised Volvo Penta dealer, so we can carry out Volvo Penta warranty work as well as general servicing. Our technicians work on most diesel brands, Mercruiser and Volvo Penta stern drives, and all major outboards, including Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Honda, Johnson, Evinrude and Tohatsu. We also sell used boats and supply spare parts, accessories and chandlery, so servicing, parts and upgrades can all be sorted in one place. Give us a call to talk through what your boat needs.
What’s Included in Our Boat Servicing and Repair Services
1. Diesel Servicing & Repair
We travel to marinas, homes and hardstand facilities across the Sunshine Coast to carry out diesel servicing and repairs. As authorised Volvo Penta dealers we handle Volvo Penta warranty work, and we service most other diesel brands too.
2. Inboard/Stern Drive Servicing & Repairs
We service and repair direct-drive inboards, Mercruiser stern drives and Volvo Penta stern drives, petrol or diesel, from scheduled maintenance to tracking down a fault when something goes wrong.

We service all makes and models of outboard, including Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Honda, Johnson, Evinrude and Tohatsu. See our Outboard Motor Servicing page for more detail.

Bring your trailer in for brakes, suspension, lighting, wheels and tyres. If rust has set in, we’ll assess whether it can be restored, so you can tow to the ramp safely
