Our History
We run a tight ship, led by owner Ben Koppenhoefer, a veteran of the air conditioning trade who launched Elite Marine Air Conditioning in 2004. Ben’s commitment to an outstanding work ethic has led to him personally hand-picking all technicians, service managers, and administrative personnel to ensure they carry out the company’s best practices for doing a superb job every time.
What’s more, Ben has created a company culture that fosters long-term employee and customer loyalty.

FAQ
- Who will crew talk to if they call Elite?
Our courteous administrative team will connect you with a Service Manager in your vessel’s area. Our Service Management team has over 60 years in the marine industry. Your Service Manager will see your request through from assessment to completion.
- Are Elite Marine and Spot Zero related?
Yes, they are! We took our years of experience with reverse osmosis desalination and created the Spot Zero fresh water reverse osmosis systems. This industry-leading solution eliminates the problems that dock water supplies impose on yacht finishes.
When the popularity of the process began skyrocketing in 2010, we separated the two entities to form Elite Marine and Spot Zero.
- Can you help yachts that are not in Ft. Lauderdale?
Yes, our experienced team is available to be dispatched internationally, wherever your vessel is docked.
- Where are your main operations?
We are located just a few blocks north of Marine Mile/SR 84 at 1957 South Andrews Ave, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, 33316.
