A History Steeped in Aircraft Repair

Sterling Aero Marine Services was founded in 1992 by Larry Simpkins, an FAA certified Aircraft Transport Pilot (ATP), Aircraft mechanic (A&P) and Aircraft Inspector (IA). Known for years as Sterling Aviation Services, Sterling Aero Marine Services enjoys a reputation for specializing in repair and service of various types of aircraft from small single-engine trainers to large multi-engine corporate jets. We continue to service numerous aircraft for the private and corporate sectors in Central Virginia.

Evolving Experience in Marine Services

Larry has enjoyed a diverse career as marine mechanic in the yacht and boat industry. Having completed an apprenticeship in the prestigious boatbuilding community of Hamble on the South Coast of England (the “ Mecca” of UK yachting), Larry has acquired expertise in all fields of boatbuilding and boat repair and service.

He has been privileged to serve as Engineering Officer in the Sultanate of Oman in the Middle East, maintaining the Sultan’s personal fleet of motor yachts and powerboats. As a boat owner, water skier, windsurfer and Jet-Ski rider, Simpkins stays close to the marine industry. To become involved again with his “first love,” Larry created Sterling Aero Marine Services to provide professional boat as well as aircraft maintenance.

In pursuit of our value of advanced technical training, more efficient work product and higher customer satisfaction, we have achieved certification by the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) - a non-profit, member organization that develops voluntary safety standards for the design, construction, maintenance, and repair of recreational boats. For more information see the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) website.
