Bob quickly acquired a small shop space in historic Gloucester Courthouse and his son Bobby began working for him on his days off from his full time job until he started full time with the company in early 2013. In early 2013 Swords Marine saw the need to expand again and moved to its current location in the Cobbs Creek area of Mathews, VA. The new location includes a 1,200 sq/ft show and parts room and a 2,400 sq.ft 3 bay shop. At the same time Dale was brought on as a third mechanic and Janet began running the front office.

Great marina and people. This was not a planned stop, we just got lucky. After a few days waiting…read moreon weather to calm down we had witnessed the meticulous handling of boats being hauled in and out, admiring the attention to detail given to each one. We had planned to haul out in a few months for blister repair and bottom paint, after observing we decided we found our place. Excellent work, reasonably priced, and impeccable communication. Great pool and bath house, laundry, floating docks, dog park across the street, with instacart and walmart delivery options. Great short ride to Yorktown via dinghy to enjoy the free hop on and off trolly tour. Can't say enough great things about this place we will defiently return.

Wormley Creek Marina is by far my favorite marina so far. The staff is extremely friendly,…read moreknowledgeable and accommodating. They have just opened the new bath house, laundry room and pool. There are a couple of beautiful flower gardens, not to mention the marina is nestled in a placid area surrounded by large trees. The entire marina is pristinely manicured. They have a full working service yard and haul out. The ship store is stocked with a wide variety of boater's needs. We are on the great loop and needed a repair to our bow thruster, the marina was happy to work us in even though they were booked through July! So much to do close by, Uber does pick up from here and food can be delivered. If you get the chance this is a great place to stay.

I can not recommend Oyster Cove Boatworks and Yacht Brokerage after my experience purchasing a…read morebrokerage boat through them. I initially contacted them in November of 2024 about a boat they had listed. I did eventually purchase the boat in February 2025 as it was what I was looking for, but the entire purchase process was extremely challenging and filled with inconsistencies, half-truths and out-right lies. During the entire purchase process, I had done everything I could do to ensure a smooth, uneventful purchase, acting in good faith and performing all the due diligence I could to prevent surprises. This was not my first long distance purchase! I believe Oyster Cove Boatworks acted in bad faith, with dishonest intentions and in fact, deliberate misrepresentation, and manipulation of the facts. I reached out to the Oyster Cove Owner/President Chris Leigh and my Salesperson Laurence Ritter after the sale was finalized in regards to several concerns that I had. Over the course of 8 weeks and 8 emails, they never responded once. I think it goes to show what kind of business Chris runs when he does not have any interest in resolving a customer's concerns. I would steer clear of Oyster Cove and find a dealership that truly cares about its customers and holds itself to the highest standards of ethics and integrity. Oyster Cove, can you say you hold yourself to these key principles and values? Honesty, Fairness, Respect, Responsibility, Transparency

They posted a boat price on Craigslist that turned out to be false…read more I offered to pay the posted price then they changed the price later.

Even though he's had my boat for almost over a quarter of the year. - then I picked it up with everything still broken down in pieces. Totally disappointed in the time wasted and money spent doing business with Dave. Sad part is I was looking forward to working with him, he had the knowledge that's it. Totally disappointed!!!!!
