Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year From All of Your Friends At Atlantic Yacht Basin
Dear Valued Friends and Customers of AYB, We hope everyone has had a great fall and a wonderful Thanksgiving. I can hardly believe we are halfway through December already. I do want to share a few quick notes about the yard and our upcoming Holiday schedule.
The water in the yard has now been decommissioned for the winter months. There are a few locations throughout the yard with water access. Please work with the Dockmasters or yard staff to obtain water for your vessel, if needed. We are happy to help run hoses and facilitate getting you water.
The service yard will close for our Christmas party on December 24 at 11:00 am and reopen on January 5th. The Dockmasters will be available during the Holiday break. If you need immediate assistance, don’t hesitate to contact the Dockmasters at 757-615-7585.
If you have not winterized your vessel or need assistance completing it, please let us know as soon as possible. We will have everyone who has signed up for winterization completed before our Holiday break.
On Christmas Day, Tim Green will host an on-site brunch for those staying aboard and for staff working the holiday. We’re grateful for Tim’s generosity and hope this event brings a sense of community and holiday cheer to everyone involved.
We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
As always, please give us a call toll free at (800) 992-2489 or local at (757) 482-2141 or drop us a line at info@atlanticyachtbasin.com for a free quote or to find out more about all of our comprehensive marine services. We look forward to a great 2026!
