Over
ten years ago Keith and Jacqui Ruse began
developing a yacht repair facility they would be proud
to own and operate. Their vision of a professional full
service boatyard was simple: Focus on top-rate quality,
work hard, listen to the customer, and fill the needs of
real boaters. To achieve these goals they have greatly
enhanced the services, expanded the yard, and have grown
and cultivated its staff of American Boat and Yacht
Council (ABYC) certified technicians.
The response has exceeded their expectations. Today,
family owned and operated Deltaville Boatyard is
bustling with business. The focus remains on quality,
as we continually strive to provide our customers with
honest and reliable service, at reasonable rates.
Whether
you
have
a
small
boat
or a
big
yacht,
need
minor
repairs
or a
custom
refit,
our
project
managers
will
communicate
with
you
every
step
of
the
way,
providing
expert
advice,
and
innovative
ideas
and
solutions. Our
team
of
trained
professionals
employ
a
fusion
of
modern
day
technology
with
traditional
techniques
providing
outstanding
quality
work.
We are located on Jackson
Creek in the quaint town of
Deltaville, once the
boat-building capital of the
Bay. Deltaville Boatyard and
Marina is just minutes from
the Chesapeake Bay and less
then a mile to town. We
invite you to visit us, and
see for yourself why yacht
owners from around the world
routinely choose Deltaville
Boatyard as their yacht
repair facility.
