Since 1933, three generations of the Larsen family have worked hard to provide the Lake Michigan boater with all their boating needs, including quality service, excellent storage facilities and a professional sales staff. Satisfied customers and dedicated employees have helped us grow into a modern 16 acre boatyard and full-service marine facility, one of the THREE LARGEST ON THE WESTERN SHORE OF LAKE MICHIGAN.
The result: Confidence-Confidence that your needs are met and your experience is in the highest tier possible among marine facility alternatives. Our team of experienced and certified technicians can perform every type of mechanical service your boat requires as well as engine repairs, including complete repowers!
Perform 18 Point Engine Checklist - Marine certified mechanics perform an 18 point check of your engine, including visual inspections of fluid levels, hoses, belts, wires, cables, shafts, alternator output and related systems. Exhaust System - Visually inspect exhaust system-hoses, manifolds, risers, gaskets.
Boaters in the region have numerous options when choosing products and support services to enhance their boating experiences. Not all choices are equal, and individual boaters rarely have the time and experience to know with whom to place their trust. Since 1933, Larsen Marine has operated as a full-service marine facility serving Lake Michigan boaters.
Larsen Marine's commitment to the environment includes being the first and only marine facility on Lake Michigan to install the Aquas Waste Water Treatment System for cleansing the water used in power washing boat bottoms. Through a series of collection pits, pumps, tanks and filters, this system treats and re-circulates the water to eliminate harmful discharges back into the Lake.

I am having some urgent repairs done on my boat. Ms Herzog manager of the mechanical and electrical department has kept me appraised of their findings and recommendations all along the process. I have over the last 5-6 years had several repairs including mechanical, fiberglass and electronics and have been very satisfied with the work. I also store my boat during the winter and remain very satisfied with the facilities. We now dock our boat in the summers in Sheboygan WI but bring it the 85 miles south to store with Larsen Marine.

I recently purchased a Laresn's brokerage boat and now keep at their In/Out Storage. Purchasing was a low hassle experience (thanks to Phil and Lori G). Kathy S. who manages storage took the time and explained how it all works and get me introduced to the folks who do service, paint and parts. Jeff in the storage building graciously made the boat available during/after purchase and for one last time after the season ended. Ian G, who does paint, tells me what I need to know - even when it's not what I want to hear. I respect that. Patty H. and Missy got me acclimated to ordering service. Everybody

I have been using Larsen Marine for many years. They handle all types of boats, but they specialize mostly with sail boats. Because they’re so large they are able to hire the best technicians in the area. Because of this, they can work on any part of your boat, from gel-coating, awl-grip, rigging, engines to electrical. It is a place to store your boat inside or outside with pretty good security. Although a friend of mine had some canvas covers stolen from his cradle. Why anyone would take half of a boat cover, I’ll never understand. Larsen’s is probably the best marina in the Midwest. It’s
