EAST RIVER Shipyard Ltd.

The docks are still full and the storage yard is still empty, but that won’t be the case in a few short weeks!

Haul out and winterization season has started! It’s always a bittersweet time of year as we start to haul boats, winterize and put boats away for the winter.

We still have plenty of space at our full service facility for winter storage, so don’t hesitate to call the office to reserve your spot today!

Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron on a beautiful night.

This catamaran from BVI’s was cruising the coast of Nova Scotia and was experiencing some issues with one of their sail drives. We hauled them with our 150t lift that can accommodate boats up to a 32ft beam so we could replace their sail drive seals and calibrate their props. They will be back in the water and cruising our beautiful coast by tomorrow!

A very capable Nordhavn hauled out for some late summer service work.

Another workhorse out for summer maintenance.

It might be the middle of summer, and we hope you’re spending every chance you get out on the water—but believe it or not, now is actually the perfect time to start thinking about where your boat will spend the winter.

Every fall, storage space fills up quickly, and booking early gives you the best selection while taking one more thing off your to-do list when haul-out season arrives.

At East River Shipyard, we’ve built our storage program around what boat owners actually want: flexibility, value, and the confidence that their boat is in good hands.

Whether you’re looking for:
⚓ Heated indoor storage
⚓ Indoor cold storage
⚓ Outdoor serviced storage
⚓ Budget-friendly outdoor unserviced storage

…we have a storage option to fit your boat and your budget.

Unlike many yards, we don’t double-stack boats or squeeze them in side by side. We leave plenty of room around each boat, giving owners the space to tackle their own off-season projects comfortably. And if you’d rather leave the work to us, our experienced team can take care of everything from bottom paint and fiberglass repairs to mechanical service, welding and fabrication, electrical work, winterization, and just about anything else your boat may need.

We also understand that every boating season is different. That’s why we pride ourselves on offering one of the most flexible haul and launch schedules in the region, helping you stay on the water as long as possible in the fall—and get back out as early as you can in the spring.

Whether you own a sailboat, powerboat, fishing boat, or commercial vessel, we’re here to help protect your investment all year long.

Enjoy the rest of your summer—but when you’re ready, give us a call to reserve your spot!
