BEN WATTS MARINA
Where You're Treated Like Family
A Living Legacy For Over 70 Years
Ben Watts Marina was opened in 1954 by our namesake and founder by renting small fishing boats. Today, the marina has grown into a full-service marina on 17 acres of property.
During the summer season, we have over 250 slips, dry storage, and also In & Out service; both self-serve and full service. Both inside and outside storage are available during the winter months in addition to shrink wrapping, acid washing, detailing, and winterization.

“Had a great experience working with this team, reached out, and two days later had a slip! They were also able to help me with the short-term storage I needed. Big thanks to Robin for making it all happen! Doug, the owner, took time to show me around during the middle of a busy day…he runs a great shop.
If you’re looking for a place to store, launch, or service your boat, this is the spot!”
-Ed C.
"Incredible customer service at Ben Watt's Marina! We couldn't be happier with our experience this summer as first-time boat owners and slip renters. Doug and his staff go above and beyond to ensure we are taken care of in every way. They make owning a boat easy and fun. I highly recommend!"
- Jill
100% recommend this place! First of all the guys helping launch boats are always super nice and efficient! Second, we had service done here and they were fast, efficient, and fair! Doug, the owner, and Garrett in service are great guys! Kept us informed the whole time. We have had experience at other marinas and we were not happy at all. This place however was phenomenal and I will be recommending them to anyone that needs service. Thank you guys again!
