⛵ Learning to sail is only part of boat ownership. Knowing how to care for your boat is just as important! 🔧

Many of our Florida Sailing School students go on to become boat owners — and one of the biggest questions we hear is, “Who can I trust to work on my boat?”

We’re excited to introduce SWY Service & Parts, located right here at Burnt Store Marina.

Their Certified marine technicians work on both inboard and outboard engines, providing professional diagnostics, routine maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs and parts for sailboats and powerboats.

The goal behind SWY Service & Parts is the same approach we bring to our sailing school: do it right, understand what you're doing, and never rely on guesswork.

Already own a boat? Give SWY Service & Parts a follow for:
⚓ Maintenance tips
🔧 Real-world troubleshooting
💻 Marine engine diagnostics
🛠️ Service & repair projects
📚 Helpful information for boat owners

And if your boat needs some attention, our team is right here at Burnt Store Marina.
