Winter Island Yacht Yard

About

Winter Island Yacht Yard is an owner-operated boatyard in Salem offering dry storage and full-service repair with a full-time, year-round crew. Boat owners come for help with repowering, upgrading systems, installing new electronics and general maintenance, backed by more than 30 years of experience in every aspect of boat ownership. For specialized jobs, the yard works with a network of skilled New England craftsmen.

The yard was established in 1926 and has been owned by Peter and Diane Haywood since 1978. It sits in the Salem Willows area near the former Coast Guard base and, by water, on Juniper Cove just north of the entrance to Salem Harbor. The owners aim for quality work at an honest, competitive price and say they run the business by a Christian code of ethics, inviting boaters to stop by.
