Our Story
Designed Around Life on the Water
Boating has been a way of life for Darren since the age of ten. Over decades on the water, that passion has grown into a deep understanding of boats, craftsmanship, and the pride owners take in every detail.
Together, Darren and Melanie founded DarMel Marine Service with one simple goal: to provide custom SeaDek installations that combine premium craftsmanship with personal service.
After returning to Ontario from years of cruising the Great Lakes, the Intracoastal Waterway, the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic, we came out of retirement to pursue something we truly enjoy—helping fellow boat owners transform their boats with beautifully designed custom SeaDek flooring.
Today, DarMel Marine Service focuses exclusively on SeaDek. We don’t divide our attention between dozens of marine services. Every project is measured, designed and installed with the same care and attention we would expect on our own boat.
WHY BOATERS CHOOSE DARMEL MARINE SERVICE
Every boat has its own personality, and every owner uses their boat differently. That’s why we believe every SeaDek installation should be individually designed—not pulled from a template.
When you work with DarMel Marine, you’re working directly with Darren and Melanie from your first conversation through the final installation.
Our commitment includes:
• Certified by CMD as Toronto & Eastern Ontario’s Certified SeaDek Installers
• Individually designed layouts for every boat
• Professional digital templating and precise installation
• Premium SeaDek materials, professionally CNC cut
• Personal service from consultation through completion
• Mobile installation throughout Ontario
OUR APPROACH
SeaDek is more than flooring.
It’s one of the first things people notice when they step aboard.
A thoughtfully designed installation improves comfort, safety and appearance while adding a premium custom look that reflects your boating lifestyle.
We take the time to understand how you use your boat—whether you’re entertaining at the dock, fishing before sunrise, cruising with family or spending weeks aboard. Every design is created around your lifestyle, not just your floor plan.
OUR PROMISE
We believe the best customer relationships begin with honest communication, thoughtful design and attention to detail.
That’s why every project receives the same level of care regardless of its size.
From the first conversation to the final installation, our goal is simple:
Create a custom SeaDek transformation you’ll be proud to show every time someone steps aboard.
READY TO START
Whether you’re planning a complete transformation or updating a single section, we’d love to hear about your boat and your ideas.
Let’s design something that reflects your style and enhances your life on the water.
THE DARMEL DIFFERENCE
We don’t simply install SeaDek—we help you design it.
Many customers come to us with only a colour in mind. Together, we explore patterns, layouts, borders, logos and unique design elements to create something that is distinctly yours.
The result isn’t just new flooring. It’s a custom design that becomes part of your boat’s identity..and possibly yours.
