Capital Improvement Plans for Somers Point Facility

Somers Point, New Jersey - South Jersey Yacht Sales, New Jersey’s premier sportfishing boat dealer, announces plans for numerous capital improvements to the showroom and service area currently located at 680 Bay Avenue in historic Somers Point, New Jersey.  George C. Robinson III, President and Owner of South Jersey Yacht Sales, noted the improvements are a continuation of the commitment to upgrade the 12-plus acre facility after acquiring the site in late 2020.  “Our vision when we purchased the showroom and marina two years ago was to upgrade the property and transform it into a state-of-the-art sales office and best-in-industry service center.  The new South Jersey Yacht Sales Showroom and Corporate Headquarters to be built here as well as the other upgrades we have planned for the marina associated with the new showroom’s construction will fulfill that goal,” notes Robinson.   

Set to break ground in early February with completion due by mid-November of 2023, plans call for a new 10,500-square foot showroom which will provide ample floor space to display center console boats up to 60’.  Customer parking will be conveniently located directly across from the new showroom.  The design and engineering of the building will feature the latest in energy efficient mechanical, lighting, insulation, roofing and climate control systems.  A specially designed heated flooring system for winter climate days will also be installed.  Additionally, 12 separate offices are planned for South Jersey Yacht Sales administrative and sales professional staff.  Office space will also be provided for Dynamic Stabilizer Company, New Jersey’s authorized SeaKeeper sales and installation leader.  Video display boards for all boat lines including Albemarle, Invincible, Jupiter, Valhalla Boatworks, Viking Yachts and Yellowfin will allow clients to easily view all models at a quick glance.  Product display areas for Electrosea, SeaKeeper, Spot Zero, Release Marine, Yamaha and Mercury as well as equipment and services offered by Chart House Marine Electronics and Outfitting will provide an opportunity to learn more about equipment and service available from South Jersey Yacht Sales and its affiliates.                      

In addition to the new showroom, several major capital improvements are planned for the service center and the marina.  Among the upgrades to be completed over the winter is a thorough dredging of the entire 42-slip marina to accommodate larger vessels.  All new composite bulkheading and a new marina outer breakwater are also being installed.  The rebuild of the 24’ x 75’ liftwell has been completed to better accommodate a 70 metric ton Travelift.  A new concrete forklift launch/haul pad has been completed and a total remodeling of the service center office building  includes the addition of a kitchen and a customer waiting lounge.  Other improvements either already completed or scheduled include the addition of a Boat Lift self-propelled remote operated trailer and installation of new security cameras and lighting around the facility.       
 
“Boaters in the mid-Atlantic region recognize South Jersey Yacht Sales as the preferred lifetime source for premium recreational boats, unmatched service, and support,” Robinson noted.  “Our mission is to make our customers’ time on the water the happiest and most enjoyable time possible by treating customers and team members like family.  These improvements to our facility in Somers Point will help us continue to be the leader in sportfishing yacht sales and service in the region for many years to come.”
