Jarvis Newman established this business in the early 1980s after selling his boatyard. His daughter Kathe carries on the tradition.
One passion I have always had is boating as a lifestyle. I grew up going on family outings, day trips with my friends, and romantic sunset cruises with my husband. My goal through my work is to find everyone who wants to get on the water the right boat for THEM. Finding the right boat for someone means that when it’s time to find another boat, they come back and I help them make the change.
