Boat Repair Invoice Template (Free)

Short answer

A boat repair invoice needs the vessel identified, the work described, parts itemized, labor by the hour, and any haul-out, launch, or storage days shown separately — plus payment terms. Copy the template below, or use invoicing software that turns your approved estimate into the invoice automatically.

What belongs on the invoice

  • Business name and contact info
  • Customer name, vessel name, make/model, HIN
  • Dates of service
  • Description of work performed
  • Line items — haul-out, labor, parts, materials, launch, storage
  • Subtotal, tax if applicable, total due
  • Payment terms — due before splash or on completion
  • Accepted payment methods

The line most yards forget

Storage. A boat waiting six weeks on a backordered part is occupying space you could have sold. State a grace period and a daily rate on the intake paperwork — not after the fact.

Skipping the copy-paste

Software that carries the approved estimate straight into the invoice means no re-typing, no missed lines, and a payment link the owner can pay from anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Should haul-out and launch be separate from repair labor?

Yes. They're yard operations with their own cost, and a customer comparing repair quotes needs to see which parts of the number are lift time and which are actual repair work.

How do I invoice a job that changed scope?

Show the original approved items and the added ones as clearly separated lines, ideally with the approval date noted. A change the customer can trace is a change they pay for.

Should I bill storage while the boat sits waiting on parts?

State a policy up front — a grace period, then a daily rate. Boats waiting on backordered parts can occupy a yard for months, and an unstated storage fee is one you'll never collect.
