Gaines Marina has been serving boaters since 1928.
In March of 2009, Joseph and Naomi Treadwell purchased Gaines Marina
from Denis Richard. Joe had been a commercial lobster fisherman off
the coast of Maine for more than 25 years. A hard-working
entrepreneur, he also built and ran the B&A Boat Shop. The B&A Boat
Shop offered boat hauling, shrink wrapping, storage and specialized
in custom boat finishing and restoring. Joe plans to expand
the facilities at Gaines Marina to include custom yachts, boat
restoration and repairs.
Gaines Marina is a family run business. Joe and Naomi have
three children Brian (18), Bekah (16), and Katherine (10). They
invite you to the Marina
to meet the whole family. You'll probably see Brian on the
docks, Bekah in the ship store and Katherine helping wherever
possible! The older kids are home schooled and
have experience around the water. Before moving to
New York, Brian and Bekah helped at the B&A
Boat Shop and also went lobstering. Joe built Brian’s 28 foot
lobster boat which Brian used to haul his 475 lobster traps. Bekah
was in the lobstering student apprentice program under Joe and
hauled 150 traps from her own boat. Both teens brought their boats
to the Marina.
Look for the Maine
lobster boat, buoys, and traps when you visit Gaines Marina.
Naomi is a Creative Memories Consultant. She offers
Scrapbooking Classes and sells scrapbook supplies like photo albums,
digital software, stickers, tools, etc. You can order directly
from her web site
www.mycmsite.com/ntreadwell or stop by the marina for a personal
consultation. Classes and workshops will be offered at the
Marina
on a regular basis.
The new Gaines Marina specializes in service.
Long time employee Gil Hough stayed with Gaines Marina.
Gil is well known for his expertise.
He has more than 30 years of experience working at marinas.
Tom Uber came all the way from
Maine
to bring his experience from the B&A Boat Shop to Gaines Marina.
He excels in restoring the finish of a boat to make it shine
like new. Tom will be
also be running the new bucket truck to stand masts and check lines.
Local resident, Doug Tetreault, also joined the crew.
 The first thing you
may notice at Gaines Marina is the sturdy, wide service dock.
We have installed a new pump out station for boater’s
convenience. In our
Marine Store, there are marine supplies, convenience items and
snacks. We also have
ice and propane for sale.
You’ll find our gas and diesel prices to be some of the
lowest on the lake.
You won’t find any other marina on this end of
Lake Champlain that can compare to Gaines Marina for
protection, great service and low prices.
Joe has DEC certification to paint the bottom of boats.
He is also certified to spray AWL GRIP paint and plans to
offer this special finish in his new shop.
We have a hardworking crew here to serve you with fairness
and integrity.
The Treadwell family welcomes you to Gaines Marina. We think
you'll like the new changes we've brought to the Marina and look forward to meeting you.
“SERVICE IS OUR SPECIALTY”
Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men.
Ephesians 6:7 (NIV)
Gaines Marina has so much to offer both the boating traveler and
those searching for summer dockage. Located close to the Canadian
border at the mouth of the Richelieu River,
it is at the gateway to the
USA
and Canada.
For Canadians it is an prime location. After crossing the border by
car it's just a few minutes more to your dock. You can now proceed
south by boat without the hassles of crossing the border by boat.
Convenience, service, reputation, and hospitality!
