About Islands Marine Center
Islands Marine Center, located in Fisherman Bay on Lopez Island, WA, is a full-service marina offering moorage, haul-out services, boat sales, repairs, storage, and on-site amenities including a ship store, auto parts department, and rental apartment.
Founded in 1972 by Jennifer and Ron Meng, the business grew from a small, mobile parts operation into a well-known marina and dealership by focusing on personalized service and boating education. Today, it continues that legacy by helping customers choose the right boats and providing hands-on training to ensure proper operation and maintenance.
Our Team
Here at Islands Marine Center we are boating enthusiasts, and we understand that your priority is getting out on the water.
Ron(1954-2013) & Jennifer Meng
Owners
Jennifer and Ron Meng started Islands Marine Center in 1972 out of the trunk of their car. In 2004, they started their own boat line, the Ocean Sport Roamer. Following Ron's passing in 2013, Jennifer has continued to captain the ship here at IMC. Today, both Islands Marine Center and Ocean Sport Boats are flourishing businesses.

Tim Slattery
IMC General Manager
If you've been an IMC client before, you've probably worked with Tim in any number of capacities - he's done it all! He started in 2005 as IMC's Yamaha Technician, in 2013 he became Sales Manager, now he's at the IMC helm as General Manager. He's rarely far from the docks, but when he does get away you'll find him out fishing with his wife and three kids.
