Delta Marine Service

About Us

Delta Marine Service was originally founded in 1977 by Ken Harlos, in North Saanich B.C. Canada. Initially, Ken was living in Delta B.C. in the Greater Vancouver area, working for White Motor Corporation. He enjoyed his job there as a mechanic, working on heavy-duty trucks and buses. At that time, he was also doing marine servicing out of Cedar Grove Marina. Clientele grew as did the demand for marine service. In 1985, Delta Marine was relocated to North Saanich on Vancouver Island. Once established, the company evolved quickly. In 1989, Ken Harlos had brought a handful of sub-contractors, including Brian Coverley, on board to help deal with his increasing volume of business.

The two collaborated well together and created a successful business partnership. The company expanded significantly and prestige increased dramatically when it became an official Fleming and Grand Banks authorized repair and service center. By the end of 2012, Brian Coverley became sole owner. The bulk of the company’s work takes place on site but they also travel globally to do warranty, modification and maintenance work.

Delta Marine provides a comprehensive range of services, from complete refits to electrical and mechanical services, yacht rigging, stainless steel and metal fabrication, custom cabinetry, varnish, paint, structural and cosmetic fibreglass repair, gel coat, detailing, custody care and provisioning.
