by Down East magazine’s readers Contact: Steve Morris, Gamage Shipyard Manager 207-644-8181 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE South Bristol—In a survey conducted by Down East, its many readers have named Gamage Shipyard of South Bristol the “Best Marina in Maine for 2013.” This impressive accolade is included in the special Best of Maine section of the magazine’s July issue. A busy, full-service yacht yard on the South Bristol gut, Gamage has significantly expanded its facilities and introduced numerous upgrades over the past few years. This season it has increased the number of marina slips so that it can now accommodate as many as 44 boats, including dockage for vessels up to 100 feet long. In addition, a 12,800-square foot heated building has recently been finished to complement a second, 6,000-square-foot heated building. Down East editor Paul Doiron presented the award to Gamage’s manager, Steve Morris, at a reception in Portland on June 27. Morris said “All of us at Gamage are honored to receive this endorsement from Down East and its readers. We’re excited about our new facilities, and it’s wonderful to be recognized for our commitment to providing exceptional, personalized service to our longtime customers, new ones, and visitors enjoying our area’s beautiful cruising grounds.” The Gamage marina offers fuel, water, shore power, and WiFi. Morris says customers who rent slips for the season particularly enjoy no longer having to climb in and out of their dinghies or row to moorings to board their boats. The yard also has a 25-ton Travelift and provides full mechanical, maintenance, and repair services as well as both outdoor and heated indoor winter storage.
