1. When did you start boating?

As ironic as it sounds, I was never an avid boater growing up. I had lots of friends who were boaters. We'd all hang around the Horseshoe Harbor Yacht Club, in Larchmont. They'd race on weekends and take care of boats. I'd occasionally tag along, but was really content just being around the water and around boats. At the time, most boats had wooden hulls, and required a tremendous amount of maintenance. The yards were always full of people working diligently, and the smell of paint and varnish was always thick in the air. Fond memories indeed.

Let the Pros Do It

If you can get your boat up on a trailer, and wheel her home for the winter, all the power to you. But for those with larger vessels, or winter work needs, professional hauling and storage is the way to go. Good news: Our 20+ Brewer Yacht Yard locations offer customers several choices for hauling and storage and service. The yards will decommission, winterize and inspect your boat and its systems.
