Fishing Boat Repair in Stockton, California
Delta fishing boats earn their keep, and the hull takes a beating doing it. Sergio's Boat Spa repairs and refreshes fishing boats for Stockton anglers.
Repairs that hold up to hard use
We fix hull dings, gouges, and impact damage from ramps, rocks, and structure, rebuild compromised fiberglass, and restore oxidized and faded gelcoat. We get the boat solid and clean so it is ready for the next early morning.
Back on the water before the bite
A fishing boat in the shop means missed mornings and missed runs. We give you a firm timeline with the quote and stick to it, and we move fast on smaller hull, transom, and finish work so you are not stuck on the trailer when the salmon are running or the bite is on.
Inside and out
Fishing boats get dirty inside too. We clean and detail the interior, the livewells, the storage, and the deck, so the boat is fresh top to bottom.
We come to you in Stockton

Owner operated, fully insured, more than 2,000 boats since 2017, and every boat quoted on what it actually needs, never by the foot.
Protecting the finish from sun, bait, and fish
A fishing boat lives in the sun and takes a lot of abuse from bait, blood, and gear dragged across the gunwales. We restore the gelcoat and seal it so stains rinse off instead of soaking in, and so the Delta sun does not chalk the finish out by midsummer. A protected hull stays easier to clean after every trip and holds its value when it is time to sell or trade up.
Fishing boats we repair in Stockton
We work on the fiberglass fishing boats Delta anglers run, from center consoles and walk-arounds to aluminum-and-glass crossovers, bay boats, and Delta salmon and sturgeon rigs. Whether you chase stripers in the sloughs, salmon on the main river, or bass in the tules, we match the original construction and finish so the repair holds up to the same hard use that caused it.

Transom and motor mount repair
On a fishing boat the transom does the hardest work, carrying the weight and thrust of the outboard every time you run. Years of that, plus water working into old screw holes, can leave the transom soft, cracked, or flexing under the motor. We rebuild the transom and the motor mount area back to full strength so the outboard sits solid and you are not babying the throttle on the way to the spot. We also seal up old rigging and transducer holes that let water in.
Deck, non skid, and soft spots
Anglers move around a boat all day, so the deck has to be solid and grippy. We repair soft or spongy spots in the deck and casting platforms where the laminate has gone bad, and we restore worn non-skid so you keep your footing when the deck is wet and you are fighting a fish. The result is a floor you can trust whether you are reaching for the net or stepping up to cast.
Fishing boat repair Stockton FAQ
Can you fix a soft or rotted transom?
Yes. A soft transom is one of the most common fishing boat repairs we do. We rebuild it back to full strength so your outboard mounts solid and safe again.
Do you repair soft spots in the deck and casting platforms?
Yes. Spongy spots mean the laminate underneath has failed. We rebuild the area so it carries weight again and restore the non skid on top.
Will you fix old screw and transducer holes?
Yes. We seal up old rigging, transducer, and accessory holes properly so water stops working into the hull and transom.
Can you get the stains and chalk off my hull?
In most cases, yes. We restore oxidized, stained gelcoat and seal it so the finish stays cleaner and the sun does not chalk it back out as fast.
How do I get a quote without hauling the boat in?
