Strong Recommendation for Jarrett Bay Marine (Statute Mile 197)
The Jarrett Bay Marine Marine Industrial Park is located directly on the Core Creek portion of the AICW, north of Beaufort, NC. There are many other superb marine repair firms located in this park, including our good friends at Core Creek Marine. The Jarrett Bay Company itself, as described below, offers not only superb repairs, but fuel and some overnight dockage.
If you are anything like us you are always on the look-out for reputable marine repair services that stand behind their work. If you find yourself in
need of repairs while on the ICW in North Carolina we can heartily recommend Jarrett Bay Boat Works.
We stopped at Jarrett Bay to have a leaking through hull for one of the main engine raw water intakes repaired. Upon inspection it was determined that both of these intakes had been repaired sometime ago in a less than satisfactoryt manner. We opted to have both of them done correctly, since we had 5,000 miles of the loop ahead of us. Everything appeared to be fine until the port engine through hull developed a small leak while we were in Canada. I called Roger Wetherington at Jarrett Bay, not sure what to expect, since I’ve had other repairs made where the mechanic didn’t want to talk to me when I was 200 miles down the river. I’m happy to report that after explaining the problem and agreeing that the leak was not serious, Roger agreed to make contact with a marina on the Tennessee River where we could have the repair made at his expense. To make a long story short we are headed to Aqua Yacht tomorrow where they will fix the problem and Roger at Jarrett Bay will pay the bill.
In this case we got what we paid for. We would recommend Jarrett Bay to anyone needing repairs. They definitely stand behind their work.

I echo your attaboy for Jarret Bay. We were in Canada and had an electronic problem with our high-tech shifter and I had remembered others bragging on them, so I called them instead of the manufacturer and they went out of their way to ship us the parts we needed and then
talked us thru how to re-wire everything over the phone spending hours with us.
