Quick answer: Yacht management and fleet engine service is simplest with one partner. Managing one yacht means keeping track of engines, transmissions and generators, service schedules, warranties and records. Managing a fleet means doing it many times over, across different vessels and vendors. Scarano Marine gives yacht managers, dealers and multi-vessel owners a single engineering partner — we centralize the service of your MAN and John Deere engines, ZF and Twin Disc transmissions, and Kohler, Northern Lights and Cummins Onan generators, keep it on the manufacturer’s schedule, and document every visit. One point of contact, one service record, one team accountable for the whole engine room.
Yacht Management & Fleet Engine Service for Managers, Dealers and Owners
Our fleet and management work is a large part of what we do. Scarano Marine is a trusted engine, transmission and generator service partner for the U.S. operations of leading builders, including One Water Yacht Group, Azimut USA and MarineMax, Princess Yachts America, and Sanlorenzo of the Americas — as well as private owners who keep more than one vessel.
For a management company or a dealer, the value is simple: instead of coordinating separate shops for engines, transmissions and generators across a fleet, you have one authorized MAN and John Deere dealer handling the whole machinery package, on schedule, with records you can hand to an owner, a surveyor or a buyer.

One Fleet, One Engineering Record
For managed and fleet vessels, we build a consistent, documented history of the machinery — engine hours, scheduled service performed, warranty work, parts, inspections and open recommendations carried forward from visit to visit.
That record does real work. It protects warranty coverage, supports resale value, and gives a manager visibility across the fleet instead of a folder of mismatched invoices from different shops. It’s also what turns a one-off repair customer into a long-term managed account.
Why an Authorized Dealer Matters for Managed Fleets
For vessels under classification-society or flag survey — ABS, Lloyd’s Register, DNV, Bureau Veritas — surveyors expect main engines and generators to be maintained on the manufacturer’s schedule, with records that can be verified. Authorized-dealer documentation is the strongest evidence a vessel can present, because it comes with factory diagnostic data and genuine-parts records an independent shop can’t produce.
As the authorized MAN and John Deere dealer, we can register and administer warranties, read engines with factory diagnostic tools, apply factory service bulletins, and supply genuine parts — the parts of fleet management an owner and a surveyor actually trust.
Commercial & Government Fleets
Our fleet work isn’t limited to yachts. We service the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue fleet and support commercial operations including vessels on the Everglades restoration project. Commercial and government fleets have the same core need as a yacht manager — maximum availability, minimum downtime, and documented maintenance — and the same single-partner approach applies.

Managed as a Program, Not Job by Job
For managers, dealers and multi-vessel owners who want this handled on an ongoing basis rather than one repair at a time, we can structure the service as a managed arrangement — scheduled maintenance across engines, transmissions and generators, a dealer-stamped record after every visit, factory diagnostic data on file, genuine-parts documentation, open recommendations carried forward, hour-based reminders, and priority scheduling for your vessels. We tailor it to how your fleet actually operates.
For classed vessels, we provide classification society engine maintenance and survey support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with yacht management companies and dealers?
Yes. A large part of our work is serving as the engine, transmission and generator service partner for South Florida yacht dealers, management companies and multi-vessel owners. We centralize the whole machinery package under one authorized MAN and John Deere dealer.
Can you service the engines, transmissions and generators together?
Yes — that’s the point of a single partner. We handle MAN and John Deere engines, ZF and Twin Disc transmissions, and Kohler, Northern Lights and Cummins Onan generators, so a manager isn’t coordinating separate vendors for each system.
Do you register and administer warranties on new boats?
Yes. As an authorized dealer we register the warranty on new vessels and handle covered repairs directly with the manufacturer, so the owner or manager isn’t caught between shop and factory.
What documentation do fleet vessels receive?
A dealer-stamped service record after every visit, with factory diagnostic data and genuine-parts records — a history a manager, owner, surveyor or buyer can rely on. For classed vessels, that documentation supports class and flag survey requirements.
Do you handle commercial and government fleets too?
Yes. We service the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue fleet and support commercial operations such as the Everglades restoration project, with the same single-partner, documented-maintenance approach we bring to yacht fleets.
