Years in the making, dredging of the Royal River is planned for the fall

YARMOUTH, ME - The U.S. Army Corps budgeted $3 million for the project to dredge silt from the river’s harbor. This long-awaited project is increasingly important for navigation safety, commercial fishing and the economic strength of the working waterfront in Yarmouth. 

Yarmouth Boat Yard Owner and Chairman of the Harbor and Waterfront Committee, Steve Arnold, said “This will allow bigger boats up the river safely and strengthen the commerce of the working waterfront in Yarmouth.”

The dredging is expected to begin in the fall and will take approximately three to four weeks to complete.

Yarmouth Boat Yard Service and Sales

Yarmouth Boat Yard recently attended Pursuit's Offshore University at their factory in Fort Pierce, Florida. Pursuit was very excited to announce gains in market share for yet another year and after touring the facility and meeting many of the employees it is not difficult to see why.
Pursuit's plant is second to none and their ability to manufacture over 90% of the parts that go into every model under their own roof is certainly a contributing factor to their success.
By making their own canvas, wiring harnesses, upholstery, electrical boards, windshield frames, cabinetry, teak & holly floors, etc.. they are able to closely monitor quality and ensure a superior fit and finish on every boat that leaves the plant.
We encourage those that have the ability to visit their facility to do so. Tours are free and they are offered daily. Contact Yarmouth Boat Yard or Pursuit at 1-800-947-8778 to set up your own tour today!

Yarmouth Boat Yard installs waste water containment system

We have recently installed a Husky waste water containment system that will allow us to continue to pressure wash boats under Maine's new Anti-fouling Paint Contaminated Wash Water General Permit. This system collects, filters and disposes of waste water containing pesticides and toxic compounds that could potentially harm marine life or contaminate drinking water. We understand the importance of preserving our marine envrionment while continuing to offer these services to our customers. This is another step in our efforts to obtain Clean Marina status through the Maine Clean Boatyards & Marina Program (MCBMP).

Yarmouth Boat Yard is a full service marina on the Casco Bay. We sell Pursuit Boats, Eastern Boats and Mako Boats. We are an authorized service center for Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Mercury and Evinrude engine.
