Lyman-Morse Service
Expert Care for the Way You Boat
For nearly 50 years, we have worked side-by-side with boat owners, captains, and crew to keep vessels performing beautifully and reliably. Whether they cruise Penobscot Bay for the afternoon or cross oceans, Lyman-Morse customers can do it with confidence.
Our service yards in Camden and Thomaston, Maine support a full spectrum of vessels, from 25-foot single-engine powerboats to sophisticated sailing yachts and world-cruising motor yachts. Sail or power, classic or contemporary, seasonal cruiser or passagemaker — you’ll see yourself here.
We are proud of our history and global experience, but even more proud of the relationships we’ve built along the way. We listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and design service plans tailored to your boat and your goals. Our goal is not just to service your boat, but to become your long-term partner in ownership.
