J & B Marine Moves Forward With Family At The Helm

Established by Johno and Bobbie in 1993, J&B Marine has thrived under their leadership for over three decades. Their passion for marine engines and commitment to the community have been central to the company's success. As they prepare to pass the reins to their son, Luke, and his partner Chloe, the focus remains on providing exceptional service and top-quality products. Their goal is to continue the legacy while expanding the business into new opportunities, including enhanced online services and broader product offerings

For over three decades, J & B Marine has been a trusted name in the Hinchinbrook region and beyond, known for its dependable service, deep industry expertise and strong connection to the local community. The business has built its reputation on quality marine servicing and top-of-the-line products, including their long-standing relationship with Mercury outboards.

Now entering a new chapter, J & B Marine is in the capable hands of the next generation. Luke, who completed his apprenticeship with the company, and his partner Chloe are leading the charge forward while continuing the proud legacy laid down by Luke’s parents.

Based in a well-established location, the premises feature a large yard perfect for displaying new and used boats, plus a fully equipped workshop. With a team of six, the business is both personal and professional. “Everyone who works at J & B Marine is mostly family,” Chloe says, “however, everyone is welcomed and treated as if they were family.”

J & B Marine is known for the sale and servicing of Mercury Marine engines, along with popular brands like Stessl and Polycraft boats. They also stock and service Toro outdoor equipment, including mowers and battery-powered gear, and handle most trailer repairs. "We offer mobile servicing to customers. We cater for all, from recreational to commercial,” says Chloe.

But Chloe and Luke are also looking to the future. With more engagement with clients when they’re in the market for new boating needs or even for upgrading, they hope to continue expanding their services while maintaining the personal, knowledgeable approach customers have come to expect.

J & B Marine also gives back to the community in a big way. “We are major sponsors of both fishing competitions that take place within the shire. We also offer sponsorship to the local council and many local events.”

With its unmistakable big red signage, welcoming atmosphere, and dedication to service, J & B Marine remains a steady fixture in the marine industry. A big thank you to Johno and Bobbie for their commitment over the past 30 years. As they step into retirement, Chloe and Luke wish them well and now carry on the legacy, helping locals get back on the water and explore new adventures.
