VTS Marine has spent years earning the trust of boat owners throughout Metro Vancouver as a certified mobile marine mechanic. We’ve extended that same on-site repair and maintenance service to Vancouver Island, giving boat owners in Nanaimo, Victoria, and surrounding communities access to the same certified technicians, diagnostic equipment, and transparent pricing our Vancouver customers rely on. Whether your vessel is docked at a marina in the Inner Harbour, Nanaimo, or a private dock elsewhere on the Island, our team can travel to you.
Areas We Serve on Vancouver Island
Our mobile marine mechanic service currently reaches boat owners in Nanaimo and Victoria, with availability extending to other Vancouver Island communities depending on your location and marina. Since we travel from our Vancouver base, we recommend contacting us ahead of time so we can confirm scheduling and travel logistics for your area. Whether you need a one-time repair or want to set up a recurring maintenance plan, we’ll work with you to find a schedule that keeps your boat on the water.
Marine Engine Repair, Diagnostics & Maintenance
Our certified technicians service major marine engine brands including Volvo Penta, Yamaha, Mercury, and Caterpillar. We diagnose and repair issues with fuel systems, cooling systems, electrical components, and mechanical systems on-site, and offer seasonal tune-ups, winterization, and spring commissioning so your boat is ready when the season starts. For Vancouver Island boat owners, this means the same level of diagnostic equipment and technical expertise available in Vancouver, without needing to arrange transport off the Island.
Why Vancouver Island Boat Owners Choose VTS Marine
Our technicians hold professional marine certifications and carry the diagnostic tools needed to complete most repairs on the first visit. We provide upfront cost estimates before starting work, document repairs with photos, and keep a complete service record for your vessel so there are no surprises.

Winterization, Spring Commissioning & Emergency Repairs
Coastal weather on Vancouver Island can be tough on marine systems, and seasonal maintenance is one of the best ways to avoid costly breakdowns. Our mobile marine mechanic team can handle fall winterization, spring commissioning, and haul-out preparation at your dock in Nanaimo or Victoria, checking fuel systems, batteries, bilge pumps, and engine components before problems start. If a breakdown does happen mid-season, our technicians can also respond for urgent repairs so you’re not left stranded at the dock or waiting weeks for a shop appointment.
