The Boat-Doctor is an independent inflatable repair service dedicated to making your inflatable last longer - despite what you try to do to it. The Boat Doctor is a Service Center for inflatable rafts, catarafts, dinghy, and sport boats, ready to meet all your repair needs. Specialized in welded and glued repairs. Raft Doctor can repair, flanges, replace bottoms, install chafe pads, install handles, foot cups, d-rings and all accessories on any inflatable. Boats are repaired by order of receipt so our policy is, first come first served.  All inflatable repair is warranted for one to five years depending on the age and type of product. Since we need to survey your boat to give you an honest estimate, we are unable to provide cost estimates over the phone.
