Services
In 2011, Bob Swords opened Swords Marine Service as for mobile marine repair. But in 2013, he realized that he was out-growing his truck, and he expanded to the current location in Cobbs Creek, Mathews County, Virginia, a 1,200 sq/ft show and parts room, with a 2,400 sq/ft bay shop.

With four marine technicians certified from ABYC, Mercury, Airmar, and more, in combination with Bob's 45 years of experience, the shop has become a very busy hub for marine repair, motor and parts sales, accessories, and more.We take pride in our work to bring our customers quality repairs. We've also remained true to our roots by continuing our mobile repair service in addition to onsite in Mathews.
I had Bobby and his Dad work on my 38Fountain LX with Mercury triple 400R motors and my trailer several times over the the years. Great Guys reasonable bills. Great Service. I would highly recommend them. Exceptional service and professional father and son team. My boat now has a place that will help with all of our needs.

I own 3 boats over 22 ft long. I took my 2290 Bay Runner riddick to Swords for the first time.
They worked on it. Bobby test drove it after he worked on it. With parts, computer and labor my bill was only $615.
EVERYONE WAS GREAT. I WILL BE BACK!!

I was referred to Swords for trailer repair by Deltaville Marina. Because of their respect for Swords, I asked them to do whatever needed to be done. They did, and the bill was $156. They could have charged me ten times that and gotten away with it. Swords is a first-class marine repair service.

Sword Marine is a class act. Brought them a trailer that had not moved in a decade for diagnosing/repair, discussed the must-dos and the nice-to-haves, and found the right level of repair that fit my needs and my budget.

Great communication throughout. Nice folks - I'll use them again.

Swords does excellent work and stands behind their service. You will not find a faster or more affordable boat shop around. They can fix anything from outboards to boat trailers as well.

Bob Swords has been working on my boats for the past 8 years. I wouldn’t take them to anybody else unless it is for the kind of work they don’t do and then I use whoever they recommend. Great service and great people!

Disreputable business. Do not take your boat to this business. We paid 7K for an engine rebuild and they did NOT HONOR the warranty. Just had to pay again...$94 to charge a battery that was part of the entire package. Not $94 for a new battery. $94 to CHARGE a battery. RIP OFF. Customers BEWARE

Exceptional service and professional father and son team. My boat now has a place that will help with all of our needs. They even came right to our dock to service our motor. Will continue to use them, especially as highly recommended as they were to us from local marinas and fellow boat owners.
