EAST RIVER Shipyard Ltd.

It might be the middle of summer, and we hope you’re spending every chance you get out on the water—but believe it or not, now is actually the perfect time to start thinking about where your boat will spend the winter.

Every fall, storage space fills up quickly, and booking early gives you the best selection while taking one more thing off your to-do list when haul-out season arrives.

At East River Shipyard, we’ve built our storage program around what boat owners actually want: flexibility, value, and the confidence that their boat is in good hands.

Whether you’re looking for:
⚓ Heated indoor storage
⚓ Indoor cold storage
⚓ Outdoor serviced storage
⚓ Budget-friendly outdoor unserviced storage

…we have a storage option to fit your boat and your budget.

Unlike many yards, we don’t double-stack boats or squeeze them in side by side. We leave plenty of room around each boat, giving owners the space to tackle their own off-season projects comfortably. And if you’d rather leave the work to us, our experienced team can take care of everything from bottom paint and fiberglass repairs to mechanical service, welding and fabrication, electrical work, winterization, and just about anything else your boat may need.

We also understand that every boating season is different. That’s why we pride ourselves on offering one of the most flexible haul and launch schedules in the region, helping you stay on the water as long as possible in the fall—and get back out as early as you can in the spring.

Whether you own a sailboat, powerboat, fishing boat, or commercial vessel, we’re here to help protect your investment all year long.

Enjoy the rest of your summer—but when you’re ready, give us a call to reserve your spot!

Summer is flying by, and after a busy season, it's time for our crew to enjoy a well-deserved long weekend.

To give our hardworking team a chance to recharge and spend some quality time with their families and friends, Lunenburg Shipyard and East River Shipyard will be closed tomorrow (Friday) and Monday for the Civic Holiday weekend. We'll be back at it on Tuesday, ready for another busy stretch.

We're incredibly grateful to our employees for everything they do and to our customers, partners, and community for your continued support. Wishing everyone a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable Civic Holiday weekend—we hope you get out on the water and make the most of it! ☀️⚓

Summer Days

Nicole Marie was hauled out on Thursday for a quick bottom clean and paint, a general inspection and some new anodes.

We have lots of space in the yard for fishing boats looking complete some summer maintenance. With out 150t travel lift we can get boats up to 32ft wide out and back in quickly and economically!

Thank you to the crew of Dog Bark out of Seattle, WA for spending the winter and spring with us.

We stripped and repainted the bottom and did some topside fiberglass repairs and hull paint work. Fair winds and following seas as they head to Sydney, NS, Iceland and onto Greenland!

It’s been a spring/early summer of Keels.
