Northeast Marine Services
Marine Service Software for New England and Northeast Boatyards
Northeast boatyards face a unique set of demands: brutal winters, a compressed boating season, and a diverse fleet that ranges from million-dollar sailing yachts to hard-working lobster boats. ShopTrack is built for the rhythm of New England marine service, helping shops from Maine to Connecticut manage seasonal transitions, fishing fleet maintenance, and high-volume haul-out and launch operations with confidence.
- Seasonal Storage and Haul-Out
-
Fall haul-out is the defining event of the Northeast boating calendar. ShopTrack lets you manage the entire process from scheduling and haul-out day logistics to winterization procedures and indoor or outdoor storage assignments. Track every vessel's location in your yard and maintain detailed records of winter service work.
- Harsh Weather Preparation
-
Northeast winters are punishing on marine equipment. ShopTrack's standardized service forms guide your team through critical cold-weather procedures: engine winterization, heat system checks, through-hull inspections, and shrink-wrap application. Ensure nothing is overlooked when the stakes are highest.
- Commercial Fishing Fleet Service
-
Many Northeast yards service commercial fishing boats and lobster vessels alongside recreational craft. ShopTrack handles the different service cadences and urgency levels, letting you prioritize turnaround for working boats while managing routine maintenance on the recreational fleet.
The Northeast marine service industry runs on a seasonal clock that demands precision. In October and November, every boatyard from Portland, Maine to Mystic, Connecticut is in the middle of a haul-out blitz, pulling hundreds of vessels and executing winterization procedures on tight deadlines before the first hard freeze. By April and May, the cycle reverses: spring commissioning, bottom paint jobs, engine tune-ups, and rigging inspections fill every available bay as customers push to get back on the water for Memorial Day. ShopTrack was built to handle these high-volume seasonal transitions, with batch work order tools, customizable checklists, and scheduling features that keep your team productive and your customers informed during the busiest weeks of the year.
Northeast boatyards also serve a fleet unlike any other region. On a single day, your shop might be servicing a classic wooden sailboat from the Narragansett Bay racing circuit, overhauling the hydraulics on a Maine lobster boat, repowering a Nantucket charter vessel, and detailing a sport fishing boat out of Montauk. Each job requires different expertise, parts, and documentation. ShopTrack's vessel management system captures the details that matter for every type of craft, from engine serial numbers and hull identification to historical service records and customer notes. Your technicians get the context they need to do the job right the first time, regardless of what is in the bay.
Winter months are not downtime for serious Northeast yards. With boats in storage, smart operators use the off-season for major projects: engine repowers, gel coat repairs, electronics upgrades, and interior refits. ShopTrack keeps these long-duration projects organized with detailed work order tracking, parts ordering, labor logging, and customer communication tools that work just as well for a three-month refit as they do for a same-day haul-out. Whether your shop is a two-person operation on the coast of Rhode Island or a 30-technician yard in Massachusetts, ShopTrack gives you the tools to run a tighter, more profitable business.
