Yarmouth Boat Yard and Pursuit Boats announce new line-up

Pursuit boats announced today the addition of three inshore fishing/cruising boats 18, 20 and 23 feet in length to its luxury line. Pursuit’s inshore series was born through a desire to introduce affordable quality to the marketplace in a small boat package.
According to Pursuit President, Tom Slikkers, "Our goal is to take advantage of our production processes to build a product with the durability, dependability and quality synonymous with the Pursuit brand."
Complete specifications and pricing will be available through dealers nationwide following a formal announcement scheduled for the Miami International Boat Show, February 17, 2011. Detailed information will also be posted on pursuitboats.com. Factory Authorized Pursuit dealers will begin displaying the new models in showrooms early March 2011.
George Hetzel, Vice President Sales & Marketing, "Our goal is to get more people on the water enjoying the boating lifestyle and experiencing boating with confidence that is backed by Pursuit and the Pursuit dealer network."
Value and affordability will be delivered through simple complete boats with limited options including trailers. All models will be powered by dependable Yamaha engines selected specifically for each model.
Pursuit Boats is a division of Holland, Michigan-based S2 Yachts, Inc. For more than half a century, three-generations of this family-owned business has set an unsurpassed standard of quality in marine design and manufacturing. From their modern, recently expanded production facility in Ft. Pierce, Florida, the Slikkers family continues to build distinctive outboard powered fishing boats in Offshore, Center Console, Sport and Dual Console configurations, in models from twenty-three to thirty-seven feet. S2 Yachts also produces Tiara Yachts, whose inboard power models include Open, Sovran, and Convertible models ranging in size from thirty to fifty-eight feet are built in Holland, MI.

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.

2010 Fall / Winter Update

Hello, fellow boaters. I hope the start of the fall season finds you in good health and you have had a great summer of boating. This summer was by far the best weather we have had in a long time but unfortunately all good things must come to an end! Boat sales remained very strong this year and we can thank the weather for that.

The only increases we will have this year is for power washing due to the new DEP guidelines and the new rules that have us filtering all of the bottom wash. Shrink wrap will be up slightly due to the increases the manufacturer has passed on. Both rates are up only $1-2/foot. We strive to keep all of the expenses as low as possible and put a lot of pressure on our suppliers to keep the costs down.

 We anticipate another busy winter and plan on starting a dredge and bulkhead for D-dock late this fall. We expect the Army Corps of Engineers will undergo the big dredge in the Royal River within the next 2-3 years so I want to stay ahead of that with a smaller detailed dredge. In addition to the dredge, we will be installing a catch basin for all power washing of painted bottoms.

Mark your calendar for the YBY Open House to be held on October 1st from 5-7:00 pm.

We will be serving complimentary beer, wine and cheese from Eric Fullager, proprietor of the

Freeport Cheese and Wine store.  

Please RSVP if you plan on attending, and feel free to bring along friends who might want to get acquainted with Yarmouth Boat Yard. We will be raffling off free hats and t-shirts!
