Yankee Marina & Boatyard

What Yankee Marina & Boatyard does

Yankee Marina & Boatyard is a family-owned, full-service marina and boatyard in its sixth decade of operation, founded in 1964 by Ralph Stevens and now led by second-generation family members including President Deborah Delp. The facility sits on 6 protected acres along the west bank of the Royal River in Yarmouth, Maine, providing natural harbor defense and direct road access from Interstate 95 and Routes 1, 88, and 115. The company serves recreational boaters in the Casco Bay region through an integrated offering of boat storage (outdoor cold storage plus 12,000 sq ft heated indoor storage for 200+ vessels), seasonal dockage (100 slips accommodating boats up to 65 feet with full amenities), and a year-round menu of marine technical services.

The service portfolio spans Yanmar diesel repowering (Yanmar Gold Plus Dealer status, 9HP–480HP), Seakeeper gyro stabilizer installation and service, marine electronics (Garmin, NMEA-certified technicians), mechanical systems, fiberglass repair, custom woodworking, Awlgrip and other premium marine coatings (Alex Seal, Epifanes, Interlux, Pettit, Sea Hawk), and marine rigging (Harken, Lewmar, Hall Spars, North Sails, Quantum Sails). The company is also Maine's exclusive dealer for Tidewater Boats (17–32 foot center console outboards powered by Yamaha) and an authorized partner for Suzuki Marine, Epropulsion electric outboards, Kohler generators, and Victron Energy. The workforce is a dedicated, year-round technical and operational staff with multi-trade expertise (electronics, mechanical, woodworking, rigging, painting/varnishing) and certifications including NMEA and ABYC.

The business model combines recurring revenue streams (seasonal storage and dockage subscriptions, parts distribution through Mack Boring for Yanmar) with project-based professional services (repowers, paint/refit, rigging) and hardware sales (Tidewater boats, Epropulsion motors, marine parts). Marketing is primarily direct-to-consumer through the company website, Facebook presence, a live harbor webcam, and local community ties to the Yarmouth/Casco Bay region. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; storage is reported as wait-listed, indicating demand at or above the 200-vessel and 100-slip physical capacity ceiling.
