Bristol Marine

Bristol Marine, situated at 99 Poppasquash Road in Bristol, Rhode Island, stands as a testament to the region’s rich maritime heritage. Embedded in the protected northwest corner of Bristol Harbor, this marina overlooks the expansive Narragansett Bay and is adjacent to the scenic Colt State Park. Founded by Andy Tyska and Gerry Lenfest after the closure of Pearson Yachts in 1998, Bristol Marine has evolved from a DIY waterfront workshop into a full-service network of boatyards.

The marina is a hub of yacht building, sailboat racing, and naval architecture, preserving New England’s working waterfront tradition. Its highly skilled team handles a range of services from routine maintenance to complex projects. With slips, moorings, and various storage options, Bristol Marine caters to both seasonal and transient boaters. The marina’s proximity to historic downtown Bristol, with its array of shops and restaurants, and its accessibility from Narragansett Bay, Cape Cod, and Long Island Sound, make it an ideal destination for boaters seeking both service and enjoyment. Here, the spirit of maritime craftsmanship and superior service ensures a unparalleled experience for boat owners and enthusiasts alike.
