Est. 2025 · Jacksonville, FL
Built on the
St. Johns River.
NorthWake Marine was founded in Jacksonville with a single conviction: boat owners in Northeast Florida deserve the same level of care that world-class yacht yards deliver, without the world-class distance or wait list.
Alexander S.
Co-Founder & Development
A licensed captain with firsthand knowledge of what boat owners actually need on the water, Alexander shapes the direction NorthWake grows. He leads strategy, client partnerships, and the business side of building something worth being proud of.
Ian W.
Co-Founder & Operations
NorthWake started as a shared vision between close friends who wanted to build something real together. Ian brings an engineering and technical mindset to everything the company touches, from how services are structured to the precision behind every job on the water.
The St. Johns River and Northeast Florida's coastal waters are beautiful, and unforgiving. Salt air, UV intensity, and year-round use accelerate wear that undermines even well-maintained vessels faster than most markets in the country.
Jacksonville's mild winters mean most boats stay in the water twelve months a year. From the St. Johns to the Intracoastal and offshore Atlantic, the conditions demand a level of care that most services simply aren't built to deliver.
The NorthWake Standard is not a checklist. It's a commitment every member of our team carries onto every vessel, that every detail, visible and invisible, meets the level our clients expect and their investments deserve. Not a detailing shop that occasionally does ceramic. A dedicated, certified marine services company where the standard is never negotiated.
Professional-Grade Products Only
Every product applied to your vessel is professional-specification, the same materials used by top yacht yards worldwide. Never diluted consumer lines.
Precision Over Speed
We never rush a job. Every step of our process has a reason, and every result is measured against a verifiable standard before we leave the dock.
Radical Transparency
No hidden fees. No surprise line items. Detailed quotes before any work begins, and honest conversation if scope changes mid-job.
Continuous Certification
Certification isn't a one-time box to check. We mandate ongoing training as products, coatings, and best practices evolve.
Concierge Scheduling
We work around your calendar and your marina's schedule. Priority access and flexible booking are part of every client relationship.
Full Documentation
Timestamped before-and-after photo reports after every service, with a condition summary and future care recommendations included.
