What Campbell's does

Campbell's Boatyards (legal entity Campbell's Town Creek Boatyard, LLC) is a family-owned, privately held marine services and custom boatbuilding company founded by Tom Campbell in 1991 and headquartered in Oxford, Maryland. The company operates a full-service marina and boatyard with two locations on the Town Creek waterfront — Jack's Point (56 floating slips accommodating vessels up to 112 feet, with a 25-ton travel lift) and Town Creek (42 fixed slips for 20-50 foot vessels) — supported by over 30,000 square feet of maintenance shop space and 75-ton and 25-ton travel lifts capable of hauling vessels up to 112 feet. Through its Campbell's Custom Boatbuilders division (active since 1993), the company designs and builds five proprietary Downeast-style custom yacht models (Campbell 31, 35, 37, 39, and 42 feet) using composite fiberglass, cold molding, and carvel planking construction methods, priced per individual customer specification.

The company monetizes across four revenue streams: (1) annual and transient slip rental subscriptions at both marinas; (2) custom yacht sales (one-time, multi-year contracts) and a yacht brokerage operation (Campbell's Yacht Sales, launched 2013) that transacts pre-owned power and sail vessels; (3) professional marine services including mechanical, Awlgrip/Awlcraft finishing, rigging, fiberglass repair, carpentry, and systems installation performed by NMEA/ABYC-certified technicians; and (4) Yamaha outboard engine hardware sales and certified warranty service (Yamaha Certified Dealer since 2019, 2.5 HP to 425 HP XTO Offshore). Customers are individual boat and yacht owners (vessels 20-125 feet) and luxury yacht purchasers, served through direct on-site engagement at the marina facilities, a corporate website, social media, YachtWorld listings, and industry association channels (ABBRA, ABYC, Marine Trades Association of Maryland).

The company is entirely family-controlled with no institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no parent entity, holding certifications including NMEA/ABYC, MD Clean Marina, and Yamaha Certified Dealer. In May 2025, Campbell's divested its third location, Bachelor Pt. marina, consolidating operations to the two remaining Oxford sites plus the yacht sales division.
