What we do

A full-service marine outfitter, on the water where you are.

Brendco started as a two-slip rigging bench behind Franklin Avenue. Today we run one of the most trusted independent shops on the Texas coast — but the philosophy hasn't changed: fix it right, sell what works, and know your customers' boats by name.

Boat Rigging & Repair

Full-service mechanical shop for outboards 30–425 HP. Yamaha, Mercury, and Suzuki certified technicians on site.

Tackle & Coastal Gear

Curated inshore and offshore tackle from Shimano, Penn, and small Texas rod builders you won't find at the big-box stores.

Electronics & Navigation

Garmin, Simrad, and Lowrance chartplotters, transducer installs, and radar setups tuned to Coastal Bend waters.

Custom Rod Building

Hand-wrapped inshore and offshore rods built by our in-house craftsmen — usually a two-week turnaround.

Winter Storage

Secure indoor storage, winterization, and pre-season commissioning — get on the water in April without the headaches.

Same-Week Service

Most repairs booked in and turned around within seven days. Emergency dockside service available for local clients.

The Brendco way

Small enough to know your rig. Big enough to fix anything.

We're a nine-person shop on Franklin Avenue. That means the technician working on your outboard is often the same person who sold it to you — and the same person you'll call in three years when it needs a lower unit service.

  • Yamaha, Mercury & Suzuki factory-certified technicians
  • Written diagnostics before any work begins — no surprise invoices
  • Trailer service, hitch wiring, and DMV title paperwork on site
  • Local knowledge of Laguna Madre, Baffin Bay & Port A conditions

Word of mouth

What Coastal Bend boaters are saying.

David and his crew rewired my Whaler after a lightning strike in Aransas Pass. Everything worked the first time, and the invoice matched the estimate to the dollar.

I've bought three custom rods from Brendco. Beautifully wrapped, honestly priced, and every one still catches trout like the day I picked it up.

Winterized my Cape Horn here for the last four seasons. They call me in March before I have to call them. That kind of service is rare now.
