A Rich History
Originally designed as a marina, our pub has evolved over the years. From humble beginnings with a bait shop and kitchen wall orders to three expansions, including patios, a family area, and an enlarged kitchen. Our docks now accommodate vessels of all sizes, from kayaks to 50′ sailboats.
