Services
When you're looking for a local marine dealer that can handle the problems you face with your outboard motor or stern drive, Arbor Vitae Marine is the only place to stop in the Lakeland area. We have factory certified mechanics to maintain and repair your Evinrude, Johnson, Tohatsu, Nissan, and Mercury outboards as well as Mercruiser and Volvo Penta stern drives.
Offering superior value since 1972, Avalon pontoon boats provide ideal enjoyment for family and group outings. They are committed to building the best pontoon boats available and to show their commitment to quality, all of their boats come with a comprehensive 5 year warranty. Avalon Pontoon boats can be fully customized with gas grills, wakeboard racks and even water slides.
Evinrude E-Tec and G2 motors are easy to operate, maintenance-free for 3 years or 300 hours, require no break-in period, cleaner emissions than any four-stroke; stronger than any four-stroke (or even 2-stroke), and just as quiet. We believe that time on the water is more important then time in the shop.
When founder Byron Godbersen designed the first ShoreStation back in 1959, he engineered it to work smarter than other lifts, but he also did one other thing - he over-built it. Heavier materials, stronger winches, better cables. Why all the fuss? Well, Byron believed that weekends at the lake should be spent relaxing with the family, not fixing broken equipment.
With a capacity of over 300 boats, Arbor Vitae Marine has the finest and largest on-site indoor winter storage facility the Lakeland Area has to offer. Included in your storage package, we winterize and summerize your boat for the weeks and months of boating pleasure ahead. We also offer additional services like Cleaning & Waxing, Pickup & Delivery, & Engine Service packages.

We left our boat with Arbor Vita Marine for a couple of weeks until we returned to have a little maintenance completed. Picked it up and it will idle but runs really bad. I took it back, and they said we only changed the spark plugs and it ran fine for us. Then why does it not run now? Arbor Vita Marine could care less about their customers and the quality of work they perform. They denied responsibility and never even tried to make it right. This type of mindset and business practice is unacceptable. They should fix what they guaranteed would be repaired instead of blaming the customer.

We were on vacation and had boat problems as soon as we got on the water! We called Arbor Vitae Marine immediately Monday morning. Not only did they tell us to bring it in and they could look at it in the next day or two (every other place we called said a couple of weeks) but, they took the boat back and looked at it that day, and we had it back before the end of the day (Monday)!! We can't thank them enough for getting us back out fishing! We strongly recommend them.
