Trusted by South Florida boat owners since 1981
For over forty years, captains, yacht owners, and marinas have called Hawthorne Marine when the cooling fails and the sun is unforgiving. We solve the difficult problems other shops walk away from.
What boat owners say
My yacht's AC died at the worst possible time. Hawthorne Marine had a tech at my slip the next morning, diagnosed a failed pump, and had us cold again by afternoon. Nobody else even returned my call.
Captain Dale R.
58' Motor Yacht, Fort Lauderdale
Two shops told me my refrigeration system was too old to fix and quoted a full replacement. Hawthorne sourced the part, rebuilt the unit, and saved me thousands. These folks know vintage systems.
Marie L.
Classic Trawler Owner, Dania Beach
Forty years in business shows. They explained exactly what was wrong with my ice maker, fixed it dockside, and didn't try to upsell me. Honest, fast, and genuinely expert.
Tom & Janet K.
Sportfisher, Pompano Beach
I needed a discontinued evaporator nobody could find. Hawthorne tracked one down within days. Their parts knowledge is on another level.

Learn MoreMarine Cooling FAQ
Straight answers to the questions South Florida boat owners ask us most.
Marine Cooling FAQMost often it's restricted seawater flow (a clogged strainer or weak pump), low refrigerant, or a failing compressor. Marine AC depends on raw-water cooling, so we check water flow first, then refrigerant and electrical components.
