Four decades of marine cooling expertise
Family-run and South Florida-proud since 1981 — solving the marine refrigeration and air conditioning problems others can't.
Our story
Hawthorne Marine has served South Florida boat owners since 1981. What began as a specialized marine cooling shop has grown into the region's trusted authority for marine air conditioning, refrigeration, and ice maker repair.
Over four decades, we've earned a reputation for taking on the difficult jobs — the aging systems, the discontinued parts, the problems other shops walk away from. When a competitor says replace, we look for a way to repair and recondition.
Today we bring that same hands-on expertise dockside, throughout Fort Lauderdale and the wider South Florida coast, keeping captains, cruisers, and charter operators cold on the water.
Our mission
To keep South Florida's boats running cold with honest, expert service — extending the life of marine systems through skilled repair, deep parts knowledge, and decades of experience.
