The Harbor Story
Born from a passion for the sea and a commitment to excellence, we've grown from a small welding shop into a comprehensive maritime services destination.
From Humble
Beginnings
What started as a one-man welding operation in 2012 has evolved into a full-service marine facility. The founder, drawing on decades of combined experience in both commercial fishing and industrial welding, recognized a gap in the market for quality marine fabrication services on the Delmarva Peninsula.
We saw charter captains struggling to find reliable repair facilities. Commercial fishermen waiting weeks for simple welding jobs. Boat owners driving hours to find qualified welders who understood marine environments. So we built a solution right here in Ocean City.
Today, Shelly Ii Charters stands as a testament to what happens when you combine old-school craftsmanship with modern techniques—all while never losing sight of the customer-first mentality that got us here.
Our Mission
To deliver marine fabrication and charter services that exceed expectations, every time.
Precision First
We measure twice and weld once. Every joint, every bead, every fabrication gets our full attention to detail because we know what's at stake.
Honest Deals
Upfront pricing, realistic timelines, and straight answers. No surprises, no hidden fees, no excuses when things don't go perfectly.
Maritime Focus
We're not a general fabrication shop that happens to do marine work. Everything we do is designed for the unique challenges of salt water.
