What Carey's does
Diesel service for equipment that works for a living.
Carey's Diesel is not a general shop. Everything here centers on diesel engines, marine power, generators, repowers, and heavy-duty equipment that has a real job to do.
Generator & Backup Power
Marine generators, RV generator service, commercial backup systems, industrial power equipment, service, tuning, and repair — diesel and gas.
Truck & Industrial Diesel
Heavy-duty diesel repair and maintenance for truck, industrial, construction, and working equipment. Practical diagnosis, not just scan-tool guessing.
Parts, Engines & Mobile
Diesel parts, engine support, rebuilt engine knowledge, and mobile marine service — Carey's comes to you when the job can't come to the yard.
Boatyard & marine facility
Deep-water access built for working boats.
Lift well · Deep-water dock · Delaware BayThe Carey's yard sits on a deep-water working waterfront with a lift well designed for serious haul-out work — not a shallow ramp or a trailering operation. Water depth and dock layout accommodate sportfishers, commercial vessels, and workboats that need real water under the keel.
Sportfishers and commercial vessels up to 60 feet fit comfortably. Call ahead for specific beam, draft, and weight requirements — Carey's will give you a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
With both a 75-ton and 45-ton Travelift on site, along with marine diesel service, parts, and fuel, everything a working boat needs can be handled without leaving the yard.
The Carey difference
Built on real diesel experience.
Carey's Diesel was built on more than shop work. For decades, John Carey earned a reputation as the diesel man people called when the engine mattered, the problem was serious, and the answer could not wait.
That reputation carried him up and down the East Coast, throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and beyond — wherever a serious marine diesel problem needed the right hands on it.
That history still defines Carey's Diesel today: practical knowledge, marine experience, parts expertise, and a reputation built one engine at a time.

When the engine mattered and the answer couldn't wait, John Carey was the call people made — up and down the East Coast, into the Caribbean, Central America, and beyond.
