Off the Hook Yachts Acquires 300-Slip Marina in Georgetown Maryland
The Acquisition
Off the Hook Yachts is proud to announce the acquisition of Georgetown Yacht Basin (GYB) now rebranding under Georgetown Yacht Haven – a 300-boat slip full-service marina located on the Sassafras River in Georgetown, MD. Off the Hook plans to restore the yacht basin to its former glory and reconnect with the local community in order to establish it as a household name in the area.
As our founder is originally from Maryland, this will complement our current presence in the area, along with our MD sales team, which currently operates out of Bay Bridge Marina. The acquisition of the marina will allow us to expand on sales, service, and custom-built Nor-Tech Performance Boat sales in the region. Georgetown Yacht Haven has 300 slips, two paint sheds that can hold up to a 110-foot yacht, a 110-ton travel lift, a fuel dock, a swimming pool, bathhouses, and a complete ship store, along with many other amenities. GYH controls the largest travel lift in Northern Chesapeake Bay.

We stayed a few times this past summer to really check it out. The improvements the new owners are doing are stunning, great pool overlooking the sass, lush grounds and the new docks are built really well, I believe they are replacing everything. I've heard they are bringing in higher end amenities and breathing new life into this forgotten yacht haven. Its one of the most beautiful properties to keep your boat at and I have no doubt there will be a waiting list in a few years to come. I dont mind the growing pains. The service yard is top notch. (they do it all) Check it out, its a special place.

still no water or bathrooms June 3. they did find so more older dirtier carts. the good dock carts are being used by marina employees and locked up at night.
New ownership worse than previous owner. marina is not ready for Memorial Day weekend : no water to docks, no bathrooms/showers no usable dock carts. the dock carts are so dirty and greasy they cannot be used, these were used by the mechanics under previous owner.
