Marine Tech Services To Manage Dataw Island Marina

The Dataw Island Marina staff is now employed by its management partner, Marine Tech Services — a family owned boat repair and maintenance business that has been based in Hilton Head. Marine Tech Services is continuing operations in Hilton Head, concurrent to Dataw Island, while planning a full transfer of all service yard operations towards the end of the year, when their lease and obligations in Hilton Head are satisfied. In making the Dataw Island Marina their home base, Marine Tech will be bringing with them a loyal following of boaters and will provide expertise in both marina and boatyard operations.

Upon first acquiring the Dataw Island Marina, the Dataw Island Operations Association managed the much-needed renovations and repairs to the property, drawing on existing resources and talent to keep expenses at a minimum. General Manager Ted Bartlett explained that with a fully functioning marina, the time was right to seek management and operations partners.

“I am thrilled to officially announce and welcome Marine Tech Services,” Bartlett says. “They are an excellent fit for our operation, and the energy and expertise that they have already displayed has been impressive. I look forward to them being here full time and for the plans both organizations have for expanding their involvement.”
