Quick answer: Scarano Marine is an authorized MAN and John Deere Marine engine dealer serving Miami, FL. Service is performed dockside — wherever your vessel is docked — and our Miami location also has a walk-in parts counter for genuine MAN and John Deere Marine parts and engines.
A Physical Location Inside Miami Proper
Most authorized marine diesel dealers in South Florida are based in Broward County. Scarano Marine maintains a physical location on NW 21st Terrace in Miami itself — less than a mile from the Miami River — which means our technicians reach your vessel without the portal-to-portal travel time and fees built into a dispatch from Fort Lauderdale or Pompano. Adolfo Scarano began his pleasure craft engine repair career on the Miami River in 1991; this city’s marine infrastructure is home territory.
Areas We Serve in Miami-Dade
Our Miami service territory runs the full length of the county’s waterfront, from Aventura and Sunny Isles in the north to Key Biscayne in the south:
- Aventura & Sunny Isles: Waterways Marina, Turnberry Marina, Williams Island Marina, Marina Palms Yacht Club, 400 Marina and Yacht Club, and Bill Bird Marina at Haulover
- Miami Beach: Miami Beach Marina — the largest marina in the southeastern United States — plus Venetian Marina, Island Gardens Marina, Sunset Harbor Marina, and private docks throughout the island neighborhoods, from the Venetian Islands to Star Island, Palm Island, and Fisher Island
- Brickell & Downtown: Epic Marina and the Port of Miami for vessels requiring dockside service while in port
- Coconut Grove: Dinner Key Marina, Grove Harbor Marina, Grove Isle Marina, Cocoplum Marina, Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, and Coral Reef Yacht Club
- Coral Gables: private docks throughout Gables Estates and Gables by the Sea, and Deering Bay Marina
- The Miami River: the full boatyard corridor, including RMK Merrill-Stevens Shipyard, Norseman Shipbuilding and Boatyard, Hurricane Cove, Jones Boat Yard, and 5th Street Marina — Norseman and Merrill-Stevens are both regular repower destinations where Scarano Marine handles the MAN and John Deere engine side of the project
- Key Biscayne: Rickenbacker Marina and Crandon Park Marina
Every shipyard and boatyard in Miami-Dade County requires service contractors to carry current general liability and workers’ compensation coverage before setting foot on a vessel in the facility. Scarano Marine maintains the full insurance package required by every yard we work in — which is not universal among mobile providers in this market, and it’s the difference between a technician who can reach your hauled vessel and one who gets stopped at the gate.

The Miami address is home to our office and walk-in parts counter — engine service itself is performed dockside, at your vessel’s location. We do not require vessels to come to a Scarano Marine facility for engine work.
Walk-In Parts Counter
Our Miami location has a walk-in parts counter open to the public, with a dedicated sales team for genuine MAN and John Deere Marine parts and engines. We stock the components South Florida vessels actually burn through: primary and secondary fuel filters, oil filters, air filters, raw water pump impellers, zinc anodes, sensors, gasket and O-ring kits, and factory-specified coolant and fluids. Whether you’re a captain, owner, or fellow yard, you can walk in, talk to someone who knows the engines, and walk out with the right part. Parts can also be ordered through our online store and shipped, including internationally.
Commercial & Government Fleet Service
Miami’s working waterfront runs on schedules that don’t forgive downtime, and Scarano Marine services the vessels that keep it moving. We maintain two tugboats powered by John Deere 4045 and 6068 engines supporting the Everglades restoration project, and we maintain three Miami-Dade Fire Rescue boats powered by MAN V8-1200 engines as an authorized Miami-Dade County vendor. Commercial operators get the same factory-blueprint service intervals, rapid dockside response, and rigorous documentation that government fleet work demands — maintenance records built to hold up under any warranty review or insurance survey.
Authorized Dealer, Factory-Trained Team
Scarano Marine was founded in 2007 by Adolfo Scarano, a marine engineer and former Merchant Navy chief engineer who spent 20 years with an MTU distributor and is factory certified at both MTU headquarters in Friedrichshafen and Detroit Diesel headquarters in Michigan. Our technicians are MAN factory certified or trained at marine technical schools, and roughly 90% of our shop’s technician hours are spent on MAN engines — which means the team working on your engine has likely seen your exact failure before.

Real Work, Real Engines
At Miami Beach Marina, our technicians are regulars — we work closely with the Astondoa dealer based there, servicing the MAN-powered vessels in their fleet and under their yacht management program, Astondoa and other builders alike. At Rickenbacker Marina, we handle ongoing maintenance for a 52′ Princess with twin MAN R6-800 engines, covering everything from scheduled engine service to the vessel’s Onan generator.
And when a Miami River yard misdiagnosed coolant intrusion on a MAN V12-1800 as a minor issue, the engine seized before the real cause was caught. Scarano Marine was brought in afterward to replace the engine — the kind of job that shows why catching a coolant-in-oil pattern early matters more than most owners realize. It’s the difference between a repair and a replacement.
Every diagnostic call runs on the official MAN factory diagnostic system — the same hardware and software MAN’s own engineers use — so fault codes get read at the source, not interpreted through a generic scan tool.
