June 4, 2024 UPDATE

I went by today and shot a couple of photos.

I know a lot of the My Buzzards Bay followers generously contributed to $150,000 raised to rebuild the Mattapoisett Boatyard.

MBY STRONG FUNDRAISER

I also know that several of you did so without ever even setting foot in Mattapoisett!

For you, and everyone who loves Mattapoisett, I thought I’d share and update on the rebuilding process.

Spring Grand Opening?

Dave and Ned are hard at work hoping to make a Grand Opening in the spring of 2024 (see update from Dave Kaiser below).

Meanwhile, here are some photos of the construction progress…

New Years Update from Dave Kaiser

Greetings from the crew at MBY!

Yes, 2023 is in the books, and we are really looking forward to the new year! Our new building project is well underway. The photo above is our entire crew signing and adding a personal message to the final structural beam just before it was hoisted. We even got Art and Alberta McLean (founded MBY in 1962) and Ned’s two boys (ages 3 and 4) to add their personal touch. This is even more meaningful when you consider 4 generations are involved in the rebuilding of MBY!

I should also add that the team we have today is the best I have worked with in the past 36 years. That is no small statement because we have had some incredible talent and personalities on our team over the years. I suppose we just keep getting better… When you meet or see any of our crew, you will know what I mean!!

2024 will see dramatic changes, again no understatement. We expect the new building to be completed in the spring. The appearance of the yard will be very different with parking, lighting and other features. We are very excited to have our primary work shops, parts, customer service, heads and showers all under one roof. The Mattapoisett Yacht Club will occupy what will be an amazing space on the second floor opening out to an expansive, covered deck. The view from up there will be spectacular! We plan to host various events throughout the year as well.

As we enter 2024, we must offer the most sincere “THANK YOU” to all of our current and past customers for your support and loyalty. Without your continued business, we would be nothing. You are the reason we do what we do. We will continue to do our best to make your boating experience the best it can be!

We all wish you the very best for the New Year!
