Is it hot enough for ya?! We have certainly been feeling the heat. We're cooking right along at the Kyard - doing our best to get your boats back on the Bay as soon as possible so you can keep it cool!

We hope you're staying safe from all the things that 2020 has been throwing at us. We're doing our best to do the same - while maintaining our sanity! Please reach out to us if you need help with any boating maintenance, repairs, upgrades or anomalies; we're here for you!

We look forward to seeing you here in the Kyard or out on the Bay!

If you're going to be visiting a Kyard for service or parts, please review our protocols and be aware that we are requiring facial coverings and social distancing at both of our facilities. And if possible, consider phoning or emailing rather than visiting in person.
