Marine website design & hosting by Boatwork

Marine websites built to win you work.

Your next customer is searching right now. A Boatwork website gets your business found — on Google and in the AI assistants boat owners ask — and turns that attention into quote requests. Bring the site you have or start fresh; either way it stays easy to run and you're never locked in.

Made for repair shops, detailers, electricians, marinas, and charter operators. Nothing goes live until you approve it.

The reality

Boat owners research online. Then they call a shortlist.

Local search decides who makes that shortlist — and increasingly, so do the AI assistants owners ask who to call. Most marine websites are invisible to both.

What you get

A website that earns its keep — without the website project.

You didn't get into marine work to manage a website. Yours should bring in quote requests, stay current on its own, and never need a rebuild — that's what this one does.

Built to generate leads

  • Every page drives to a quote request
  • Structured to win local searches
  • Readable and answerable by AI assistants

Bring your site, or start fresh

  • Pages, content, images, and structure carry over
  • Or start on a proven marine layout
  • Nothing goes live until you approve it

Effortless to keep current

  • A direct-edit CMS for quick changes
  • Or just tell Claude or ChatGPT what to change
  • Updates publish only with your approval

Hosting, domain, and upkeep handled

  • SSL, updates, and backups included
  • On your own custom domain
  • No server or plugin patchwork to think about

Works with Claude & ChatGPT

Easy to maintain. Never locked in.

Updating your site is a sentence, not a project.

Ask the assistant you already use to add a page, rewrite a headline, or publish your latest project photos — nothing goes live without your approval. And because your site speaks the open language AI assistants speak, your content is portable. If you ever leave, it leaves with you. We keep your business by being better, not by locking the door.

Why Boatwork

Comparing Dealer Spike, Boatyard, or a local agency?

Good — you should compare. Most marine website options were built for someone else: boat dealers with inventory to showcase, or clients with an agency retainer. Here's the honest difference.

Dealer website platforms

  • Built around boat-dealer inventory and showrooms — service businesses are the afterthought
  • Pricing typically arrives by sales quote, not a listed number
  • A proprietary CMS that makes leaving painful

One-off agency builds

  • Looks great on launch day, starts aging on day two
  • Every change is an email, a wait, and an invoice
  • The website, your social, and your leads all live in different tools

Boatwork

  • Built only for marine service businesses — repair, detailing, marinas, charter
  • Presence is one flat monthly price — website + social in one package
  • Kept current by AI you approve, and never locked in

Yes. We import your pages, content, images, and structure, rebuild them to generate leads, and you review everything before it goes live. Your domain carries over, and your email stays with your current provider. We price the migration before anything begins.
No — and that’s deliberate. Your domain and your content are yours, and because the site works with Claude and ChatGPT, everything on it stays portable. If you ever leave, it leaves with you. We keep your business by being better, not by making leaving painful.
Yes. There's a self-service CMS for anything you want to change by hand — and you can also just tell Claude or ChatGPT what to change. Updates publish only with your approval.
However you want. Pick who gets notified, how they get notified, and where every lead is recorded — by email, text message, or inside your Boatwork dashboard.
No — Presence stands on its own. The free marketplace listing is there whenever you want it (claiming it takes minutes), but your website doesn't depend on it.
