About Us

A Rhode Island marine service shop built on honest work, fair pricing, and a real love of the water.

PK Marine Service shop
Our Story

Family-run, hands-on, and proud of every job we touch.

PK Marine Service was started by Paul Krakowsky out of a lifelong love for the water and for fishing. What began as a one-man operation has grown into Bristol's trusted shop for boat repair, motor sales, and storage — but we've kept the values that got us here: do the job right the first time, charge what's fair, and treat every customer like a neighbor.

Our Mission

To deliver honest, dependable marine service that keeps boats on the water and customers off the hook for inflated repair bills. We do the work we'd want done on our own boats — nothing more, nothing less.

Core Values

  • Quality workmanship that holds up past the warranty.
  • Personal attention on every job, every time.
