Great experience with this marina and service department. Called to see if they could service a watermaker problem. Kristin arranged for a mooring and service. Within 15 minutes of our arrival, Scott was on board and began troubleshooting. His search for simple solutions was impressive. The high quality of the sailboats in the marina speaks for the premier service they must receive.
We agree with a previous review about the food at Iris Eats- limited hours (8am-3pm and closed Monday & Tuesday)-- but fantastic sandwiches and service.

It is a beautiful facility with a friendly and accommodating staff. The food at Iris Eats is out of this world delicious! But, the marina is not near any other shopping or dining. Walmart will deliver provisions to the marina.

The mooring field is exposed to the south and can get pretty choppy. Great protection from west, some protection from north through east. The fuel dock is an inside dock area that looks pretty tight for bigger sailboats.

Recently purchased Navigator, it had previously been maintained by this yard. While cruising the mid coast of Maine I had a serious coolant leak. I contacted GIBY requesting service and in the midst of their busiest season they found room for me, assigned a technician and made the repairs. The staff are excellent, the facilities are exceptional and the quality of work was great. I'd recommend this yard to anyone. Great experience.
