Who We Are

About Mitchell Dohman – Owner, The Boat Butler

Yachting is in my nature. With over 25 years in the marine industry, I bring professional boatyard expertise directly to your dock on Lake Travis, Lake LBJ, and Lake Buchanan.

I started my career as a boatwright performing hands-on repairs and fabrication, and over time advanced through every aspect of the vessel lifecycle — from fiberglass, composites, aluminum, and steel work to large-scale project management and team leadership. As former General Manager and Project Manager at KKMI Boatyard (Safe Harbor) on the West Coast, I oversaw up to 30 concurrent yacht refit and repair projects, led teams of 17, and managed multi-million-dollar budgets while maintaining strict environmental compliance and sustainability standards.

I’m also a Diver, Delivery Captain, and ocean racer with experience navigating everything from custom builds to blue-water passages. After relocating to the Texas Hill Country, I founded The Boat Butler to deliver the same level of care, attention to detail, and professionalism I provided in the boatyard — but with the convenience of mobile service.

No boat is too large or too small — I take pride in providing expert service to every vessel that calls these lakes home. At The Boat Butler, we specialize in boat management, maintenance, detailing, and cosmetic repairs. Whether it’s keeping your vessel in peak condition, performing preventative maintenance, or restoring its showroom shine, my goal is simple: make boat ownership easier, more enjoyable, and worry-free on Central Texas lakes.

Proudly serving Lake Travis, Lake LBJ, and Lake Buchanan with eco-conscious products and proven marine expertise.
