ABOUT
In 2011, Bob Swords opened Swords Marine Service as for mobile marine repair. But in 2013, he realized that he was out-growing his truck, and he expanded to the current location in Cobbs Creek, Mathews County, Virginia, a 1,200 sq/ft show and parts room, with a 2,400 sq/ft bay shop.
​
With four marine technicians certified from ABYC, Mercury, Airmar, and more, in combination with Bob's 45 years of experience, the shop has become a very busy hub for marine repair, motor and parts sales, accessories, and more. We take pride in our work to bring our customers quality repairs. We've also remained true to our roots by continuing our mobile repair service in addition to onsite in Mathews.
