Back River Boat Yard

Back River Boat Yard, situated at 116 Back River Bnd in Georgetown, Maine, is a family-owned and operated marina that has been a cornerstone of maritime excellence for over forty years. Founded by Sam and Ruth Francis in 1975, this boatyard has evolved from a humble beginning into a comprehensive boating destination. The Francis family’s passion for craftsmanship is evident in their sail making, the creation of nautical cedar buckets, and the meticulous restoration of 50-foot wooden schooners, all masterfully crafted from teak and mahogany.

Located along the picturesque Back River, the marina offers a unique experience for both seasoned sailors and novice boaters. With state-of-the-art facilities, including a modern fuel dock and a well-stocked ship store, Back River Boat Yard caters to all boating needs. Skilled technicians at the on-site boatyard handle repairs and maintenance with precision, while the marina’s amenities, such as clean restrooms, showers, and a comfortable lounge area, ensure a welcoming atmosphere. This marina is more than just a docking place; it is a celebration of maritime heritage and family tradition.
