History
Established in 2010.
Explorer Yacht Services was started in 2010 to provide boat repair, refit, and maintenance services to pleasure boats and yachts of all sizes. The business started with a large work shop in Richmond at the Shelter Island Boatyard and Marina as well as a mobile service providing mechanical, electrical, electronics, polish, bottom paint and other boat services throughout Metro Vancouver. With a growing list of Vancouver clients the business added a second location at the Granville Island Boatyard in 2015. Also in 2015, Explorer announced a partnership with Steveston Marine & Hardware to provide a full suite of boat services to Steveston's marine customers including equipment installation, repair, and boat care.
