Serving Palm Beach, Martin & St. Lucie counties
Your boat, looked after by someone who actually knows boats.
Contre Marine Enterprises provides professional boat management and maintenance for working boaters on the Treasure Coast — no yacht broker markup, no runaround, no surprises on your invoice.
Boat minding and management that actually makes sense for your budget
Most boat management companies in South Florida are built for yacht owners with captains and accountants. We built CME for everyone else — the 30 to 50-foot trawler owner, the offshore fisherman, the bluewater sailor who wants a professional set of eyes on their vessel without paying for a concierge service they don't need.
“Unlike so many other “boat guys” in Florida, Jonathan has ACTUALLY been there/done that. He’s lived on his boat up and down the East Coast, Bahamas and Caribbean. He has also fully refit many sail and power boats from the ground up. He’s got the experience to help you get the most out of your boat!”

Let’s talk
Why Contre Marine?
Flat monthly fee. No surprises.
The retainer covers all inspection, reporting, and basic oversight. Additional labor is billed at time and materials. Parts and subcontractors are passed through at cost plus a standard coordination fee — disclosed up front, always.
We're boaters.
Jonathan Contre has lived aboard, cruised the East Coast, Bahamas, and Caribbean, and personally refit sail and power vessels from the ground up. When he tells you what's wrong with your boat — or what can wait — he's drawing on experience, not a checklist.
Photo reports delivered after every inspection — you always know exactly what was found
No work over $300 proceeds without your approval — ever
We'll tell you when something can wait — not every issue needs a bill attached to it
Transparent pass-through pricing on parts and subcontractors
Technical depth from diesel mechanicals to fiberglass — we handle more in-house than most
Your Questions, Answered
How do we begin working together?
Send Jonathan a note using the contact form below. We’ll get in touch and talk boats and schedule a time to meet in person.
Can you work with my preferred shipyard or service provider?
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with our colleagues in the marine industry. Our role is to create detailed plans, coordinate with their teams, and provide oversight to ensure quality and budget alignment.
Can you help me learn to operate, maintain and upgrade my own boat?
That’s what we love to do! The best way to have a great day on the water is to be confident in your skills and in your vessel. Jonathan can help you build that confidence by working with you directly on your boat to achieve your goals.
