Attended a wedding party rehearsal dinner for 50 here. The location is perfect and beautiful. The food was great. The staff is the best. When you first look at it you will have your doubts but trust me they pull off a fantastic event. And you get to support a boat shop that has been building boats for 250 years.

Great visit, very informative. Many boats actively been restored or built from scratch.
