Aces Marine & Salvage —
Born on the Water.
Every great marine company has a story. Ours started like many in Northern Michigan — with a truck, a trailer, and a reputation for showing up when others wouldn't.
Founded in 2010, Aces Marine & Salvage began by setting moorings and recovering boats, snowmobiles, and personal items from the bottom of the lakes. We earned our stripes one dive at a time. Today, we're a full-service marine company — but our roots are still on the bottom.
We're proud to be an authorized retailer for ShoreStation, FLOE, and Twin Bay — three of the most trusted names in dock and boat lift equipment. Whether you need a custom dock system designed, a seasonal lift installation, or emergency salvage, we bring the same work ethic to every job.
Our owner, Kyle Thompson, is a certified SCUBA instructor who has been teaching and diving since 2014. When you call Aces, you're getting someone who knows the water — literally from the bottom up.

Real feedback from the Great Lakes community
Aces installed a new ShoreStation dock and lift at our place on Lake Leelanau. From start to finish, they were professional, on time, and the quality is outstanding.
Had a boating accident and needed salvage fast. Kyle and his team responded immediately, handled everything with care, and kept us informed the whole time.
Very knowledgeable about docks and lifts. Helped us design the perfect setup for our challenging shoreline. Fair pricing and excellent follow-through.
Called for a mooring inspection and got so much more. Kyle dove our site, found issues we didn't know existed, and fixed everything right then. Highly recommend.
Used their barging service to transport equipment across Grand Traverse Bay. Seamless operation and great communication. Will definitely use again.
