A Bit About Deltaville Boatyard...

Over nine 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.
