The boatyard is responsible to move yachts to and from storage as well as in and out of beautiful Lake Champlain. Lighthouse Marina provides premium care for up to 180 boats, as well as a hub for outside contractors to perform maintenance and repair work. Proper care and maintenance of your vessel maximizes time on the water and protects your investment. We haul and launch boats up to 55′. Hauling and launching boats is performed via 60 Ton Travelift on property and trailered powerboats are launched via Travelift or next door at the municipal boat launch. Customer trailers are stored "free of charge" for the boating season in the secure boatyard.

I wanted to give a big thanks to Shelburne Shipyard mgr Mark L for helping me out with an unusual…read moresituation. The engine on my trailerable sailboat was acting up and we couldn't get the boat up to the Shipyard on the water like we normally do in order to get the puny 14 gallon head pumped out. Fortunately where we keep the boat moored is very close to the ramp we use to launch and recover it, both of which are just a few miles by road from Shelburne Shipyard. It took a few calls but once we got in touch with Mark we were able to make arrangements for us to haul the boat out of the water and then drive it up to the Shipyard and use the very long hose they have for reaching boats on the long dock to get it pumped out while on land. So a very big THANK YOU for allowing us to squeeze in between the busy schedule of end of season boat hauling .

Friendly to DIY and outside vendors. Reasonable rates, super accommodating. Friendly crew, good communications to both slip customers and storage customers.

Easy walk to restaurants, bar, provisions, marine hardware, fuel, creemees, liquor store, breakfast, and more. Very solid operation.

As an example he noticed my brand new trailer was not set up correctly for my boat ("set up" by another dealer) and for very little money pulled my boat, adjusted everything, replaced a cracked roller and lubed the hubs. I have had this engine serviced by others (boat was out of town) and it ran noticeably worse than when Tom did the service. Definitely two thumbs up!

The marina offers several amenities for permanent docking and visitors, including fuel, repair, and a restaurant. Westport is beautiful, but not upscale. It is a much better value than nearby yuppie traps.

The service was good and the bartender was nice and funny. I will definitely come back again when we have visitors and want to give them a vacation-y experience. The food was mediocre. We ordered nachos and the chips were good and crunchy. The banana peppers were an interesting alternative to the jalapeños normally provided. The salsa tasted jarred. The guacamole came in a vacuum sealed Sam's club kindof packaging. Nothing fresh going on but the sad lettuce included. The bar was really fun but my mojito could have used a bit more alcohol. Lots frozen boat drinks available and next time we might try one of those. My husband said there is a decent range of beer but they could definitely do a better job of offering some local vermont beers. This place has the potential to be great.

He claimed one man on the boat weighed over 275, who in fact, is no where NEAR 275. When we told the worker that he responded telling us he will bring a scale and weigh us next time. We made it clear we are fine being weighed because we simply are a skinny family and were not remotely close to the 1400 pound limit. After hearing we were okay with being weighed he then decided he decided he is just going to refuse to sell to us again. They claimed our family is over weight (majority of us have never been over 155) then just decided they didn't want to sell to us realizing we were over weight.
