Ballistic Marine Services offers a wide range of marine services for boat owners in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, Juno Beach, Hobe Sound, North Palm Beach, and surrounding areas. Our services are designed to support the most important parts of boat ownership: performance, safety, appearance, comfort, and reliability.
Our marine detailing and coating services help protect your boat from the demanding Florida marine environment. Sun, saltwater, oxidation, and regular use can dull the finish and make a boat harder to maintain. Professional detailing helps restore the appearance of the vessel, remove buildup, improve shine, and protect surfaces from continued wear. A clean, well-maintained boat looks better, feels better, and is easier to enjoy.
We also provide motor service and repair for boat owners who want dependable performance on the water. A boat motor should be maintained before problems become serious. Routine service, inspections, and troubleshooting can help reduce breakdowns, improve reliability, and extend the life of your equipment. Whether your boat is showing signs of an issue or simply needs maintenance before the next trip, Ballistic Marine Services can help.
Marine electronics are another important part of today’s boating experience. GPS systems, chartplotters, fish finders, radar, VHF radios, displays, switches, and other onboard electronics all need to be installed correctly and wired properly. Clean installation matters because marine electronics must withstand moisture, vibration, sun exposure, and frequent use. Ballistic Marine Services helps boat owners upgrade, install, and troubleshoot marine electronics so their systems are easier to use and more dependable on the water.
Electrical rewiring is one of the most important services for safety and reliability. Over time, boat wiring can become corroded, disorganized, outdated, or difficult to troubleshoot. Poor wiring can lead to electrical failures, equipment issues, battery problems, and safety concerns. Our rewiring services help improve organization, reliability, and function by cleaning up electrical systems and supporting better long-term performance.
Sound system upgrades can also improve the boating experience. A marine audio system should be designed for the conditions it will face on the water. Speakers, amplifiers, subwoofers, wiring, controls, and Bluetooth connectivity all need to be selected and installed with the marine environment in mind. A clean sound system setup can improve clarity, volume, and reliability while keeping the boat looking professional.
For larger projects, Ballistic Marine Services also provides repowers and OEM rigging. Repowering can give new life to a boat by improving performance, reliability, and efficiency. Proper rigging is important because controls, gauges, wiring, accessories, and engine-related systems need to work together correctly. Whether you are replacing an older motor, upgrading equipment, or improving the way your boat is set up, professional rigging helps support safe and dependable operation.

About us
Choosing the right marine service company matters because your boat depends on many systems working together correctly. A boat may look simple from the outside, but every vessel includes important details such as wiring, electronics, hardware, motors, controls, audio equipment, coatings, batteries, pumps, switches, and safety-related systems. When one part is neglected or installed poorly, it can affect the way the boat performs on the water.
Ballistic Marine Services helps boat owners in Jupiter, Florida and nearby areas keep their vessels clean, reliable, organized, and ready for use. We focus on practical marine service that helps solve real problems for local boaters. Whether the job involves marine detailing, motor service, electronics installation, rewiring, sound system upgrades, repowers, OEM rigging, or routine maintenance, our goal is to complete the work with care and attention to detail.
Boat owners in South Florida deal with conditions that can wear down a vessel quickly. Saltwater, humidity, heat, sun exposure, rain, sand, and regular use can affect nearly every part of a boat over time. Metal hardware can corrode, finishes can fade, wiring can become brittle or disorganized, electronics can become outdated, and motors can require service before the next trip. Staying ahead of these issues helps protect the boat and makes time on the water more enjoyable.
Our service approach is built around reliability and communication. We want customers to understand what their boat needs and why the work matters. Clear communication is important because many boat owners are not just looking for a quick repair. They want to know that the service was done correctly, the systems were checked carefully, and the boat is ready to perform when they need it.
Ballistic Marine Services works with boat owners who use their vessels for fishing, cruising, sandbar trips, family outings, weekend rides, and regular time around Jupiter and the surrounding waterways. Every boat has a different purpose, and every owner has different priorities. Some customers care most about appearance. Others need electrical reliability, improved sound, upgraded electronics, better motor performance, or a complete system refresh. We tailor our service to the needs of the boat and the goals of the owner.
A clean and organized boat is easier to use, easier to maintain, and more enjoyable to own. That is why we take appearance, functionality, and long-term reliability seriously. Whether we are cleaning up wiring, installing electronics, detailing a hull, upgrading audio, or supporting a repower project, the goal is always to help the customer feel more confident in their boat.

Our work is designed for local boaters who want dependable service, professional results, and a boat that is ready for more time on the water.
Ballistic Marine Services follows a practical process designed to make boat repair, maintenance, detailing, and upgrades easier for local boat owners. The first step is understanding the boat, the issue, and the customer’s goals. Some customers reach out because something is not working correctly. Others are planning an upgrade, preparing for a busy season, cleaning up an older system, or trying to improve the overall look and reliability of their vessel.
When contacting us, it helps to provide the boat type, the service you need, your location, and any important details about the problem or project. Photos can also be helpful, especially for wiring, electronics, detailing, damage, hardware, or installation work. The more information we have, the easier it is to understand the situation and recommend the right next step.
For marine detailing and coatings, we look at the condition of the boat’s surfaces, the level of buildup, oxidation, shine, and overall appearance. Florida boats are exposed to harsh conditions, so detailing is not just about making the boat look better. It also helps maintain the vessel and protect surfaces from continued wear. Regular cleaning, polishing, and protective work can help preserve the boat’s value and make it easier to maintain throughout the year.
For motor service and repair, the focus is reliability. A boat motor needs to start, run properly, and perform when the owner is on the water. If a motor is showing signs of trouble, waiting too long can make the issue worse. Service and troubleshooting can help identify problems, improve performance, and reduce the chance of unexpected breakdowns. Routine motor maintenance is one of the best ways to protect your time, money, and safety on the water.
For marine electronics, proper installation and setup are extremely important. Boat owners rely on electronics for navigation, fishing, communication, safety, and convenience. GPS systems, chartplotters, fish finders, radar, VHF radios, displays, switches, and accessories need to be installed cleanly and connected properly. In a marine environment, wiring and placement matter because equipment must handle moisture, vibration, sunlight, and frequent use.
For rewiring projects, our goal is to improve organization, safety, and reliability. Many boats develop electrical issues because of age, corrosion, messy wiring, poor connections, or previous work that was not completed cleanly. A disorganized electrical system can make troubleshooting difficult and can lead to failures with lights, pumps, electronics, batteries, switches, and accessories. Clean rewiring helps the boat function better and makes future service easier.
For marine sound systems, we focus on creating a setup that sounds good, looks clean, and is built for the water. Marine audio is different from standard audio because the equipment and installation must handle sun, spray, salt, vibration, and outdoor use. A properly installed sound system can make the boat more enjoyable for cruising, fishing, relaxing, or spending time with family and friends.
For repowers and OEM rigging, attention to detail is critical. Repowering a boat can improve performance, reliability, and long-term value, but the installation must be handled carefully. Controls, gauges, wiring, engine connections, accessories, and related systems need to work together correctly. Proper rigging helps support safer operation and gives the owner more confidence when using the boat.
After understanding the project, Ballistic Marine Services focuses on completing the work cleanly and professionally. Our goal is not just to get the job done, but to help the boat owner feel confident that the vessel is better prepared for the water. Whether the project is small or large, we approach the work with care, communication, and attention to the details that matter.

We work with local boat owners who want dependable marine service, clean workmanship, and a boat that is ready for regular use on the water.
Why is boat maintenance so important in Jupiter, Florida?
Boat maintenance is especially important in Jupiter and South Florida because boats are exposed to saltwater, humidity, strong sunlight, rain, heat, and frequent seasonal use. These conditions can affect motors, wiring, electronics, hardware, finishes, batteries, audio systems, and other important parts of the vessel. Regular service helps protect the boat, reduce unexpected problems, and keep the vessel safer and more enjoyable to use.
How often should a boat be detailed?
The right detailing schedule depends on how often the boat is used, where it is stored, and how much exposure it gets to saltwater, sun, and weather. Boats used often in South Florida may need regular cleaning and periodic detailing to help control buildup, oxidation, and surface wear. A clean boat is easier to maintain, looks better, and can be better protected against the marine environment.
What are signs that a boat may need electrical rewiring?
A boat may need electrical rewiring if lights, pumps, switches, electronics, batteries, or accessories are unreliable. Other warning signs include messy wiring, corroded connections, exposed wires, repeated blown fuses, battery drain, outdated systems, or equipment that works inconsistently. Clean marine wiring helps improve safety, reliability, and troubleshooting, especially on boats with multiple electronics and accessories.
Why should marine electronics be installed professionally?
Marine electronics should be installed professionally because they are exposed to moisture, vibration, sunlight, and constant movement. Poor installation can lead to electrical problems, unreliable readings, weak connections, and equipment failure. Proper installation helps GPS units, chartplotters, fish finders, VHF radios, displays, radar, and other electronics work more reliably and remain easier to use.
Can a sound system be upgraded on an older boat?
Yes, many older boats can benefit from a marine sound system upgrade. Upgrading speakers, amplifiers, wiring, controls, and audio equipment can improve sound quality and make the boat more enjoyable. Marine audio systems should be designed for outdoor use and installed with the boat’s layout, power supply, and environment in mind. A clean installation helps the system sound better and last longer.
What does OEM rigging mean?
OEM rigging refers to setting up marine systems, controls, wiring, gauges, engine connections, and related components in a way that supports proper operation. Rigging is especially important during repower projects or major upgrades because multiple systems need to work together. Proper rigging helps improve reliability, safety, performance, and the overall function of the boat.
When should I consider repowering my boat?
A boat owner may consider repowering when the current motor is aging, unreliable, underperforming, inefficient, or no longer meeting the needs of the vessel. Repowering can improve performance, dependability, and long-term value. It can also make an older boat more enjoyable to use. A proper repower project should include careful planning, clean rigging, and attention to all connected systems.
What should I include when contacting Ballistic Marine Services?
When contacting Ballistic Marine Services, include your boat type, location, the service you need, and a clear description of the issue or project. Photos are helpful for detailing, wiring, electronics, audio, motor-related questions, and installation projects. Providing details upfront helps us better understand the work and recommend the next step.
Why choose a local marine service company?
Choosing a local marine service company is helpful because local experience matters. Boats in Jupiter and South Florida face specific conditions, including saltwater exposure, heat, humidity, sun, and heavy seasonal use. A local marine service provider understands these challenges and can recommend practical solutions for the way boat owners in the area actually use their vessels.
What makes Ballistic Marine Services different?

Do you work on boats used for fishing and family recreation?
Yes. Ballistic Marine Services works with boat owners who use their vessels for fishing, cruising, family outings, sandbar trips, weekend rides, and regular time on the water. Different types of boaters have different needs, so we focus on understanding how the boat is used before recommending service. A fishing boat may need electronics, wiring, and reliability support, while a family boat may need detailing, audio, maintenance, and comfort upgrades.
How does regular service protect the value of a boat?
Regular service helps protect a boat’s value by keeping important systems in better condition. Motors, wiring, electronics, finishes, hardware, and accessories all affect how a boat performs and how it is viewed by future buyers. A clean, reliable, well-maintained boat is easier to enjoy and easier to sell. Preventive service can also reduce the chance of larger problems developing over time.
How can I tell if my boat needs service before the next trip?
A boat may need service before the next trip if it has trouble starting, shows electrical issues, has weak batteries, has unreliable electronics, has visible corrosion, has reduced performance, or looks worn from sun and salt exposure. Strange sounds, inconsistent equipment, dull finishes, and messy wiring are also signs that the boat may need attention. It is better to address issues before getting on the water than to deal with a problem during a trip.

Testimonials
What our Customer Say
More than 99% customer satisfaction is our success
I highly recommend Nick for detailing of your boat. He was able to wax the outside of my 39 Seavee and I didn’t even have to move it off my lift which was very convenient and saved me a bunch of money. Also, the wax job came out great!
Randy Gillman
Fantastic service. Couldn’t be happier they said they would be at my boat at 9:30 and were there 5 minutes early. Diagnosed the issue and fixed it on the spot. I highly recommend them.
Brad Shifrin
I’ve used Ballistic Marine Services for a couple years now for detailing, re-wires, and other services, and Nick has been absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend Ballistic Marine
David Skinner
Ballistic is great. Maintenance and repairs right at my dock for the last few years. The power cord on my Grady fried on the holiday weekend. I text Nick this morning. They came over, replaced the red and black, done.
