Derek Gill Marine Service

Derek Gill Marine Service is a Pensacola-based marine repair shop founded in 2021 by Derek Gill, the owner, lead mechanic, and the person who answers the phone when you call. That directness is a deliberate part of how the business operates. There are no layers between the client and the person doing the work, and Derek handles questions about your boat personally before any job begins. The shop covers the full range of engine work across most popular brands including Mercury, MerCruiser, Yamaha, Volvo Penta, Evinrude E-TEC, Suzuki, Honda Marine, and Tohatsu, as well as Sea-Doo and Yamaha WaveRunner personal watercraft. Services include engine maintenance and tune-ups, diagnostics, electrical system repairs, electronic installations, fiberglass work, jet boat and jet ski servicing, oil changes, valve adjustments, water pump service, pre-purchase inspections, winterization, and full engine repowers. Derek Gill Marine is also a Minn Kota service and repair center, with trolling motors in stock for purchase and installation. The shop is BBB accredited with an A+ rating and has built a strong local reputation across Northwest Florida and into Alabama. Reviews consistently mention honest communication, fair pricing, and work completed when promised.
