In the end the owner was amazed at the quality and quantity of work we all accomplished in 14 months,” adds Phillips. A DAY AT THE PARK Home to Bluewater Yacht Sales’ Beaufort, North Carolina headquarters, the Jarrett Bay facility is situated in the Intracoastal Waterway just north of Beaufort Inlet and is one of the most complete yacht service centers in the United States. Directly adjacent to Bluewater’s office space, the haul-out basin is the beating heart of a 175- acre marine industrial park, with nearly two-dozen occupants providing every kind of marine service and product imaginable. The service yard features three travel lifts with capacity up to 220-tons, nearly 1,500 feet of floating docks and throughout the course of a calendar year, the team hauls out over 600 boats for maintenance and projects of all types and sizes. Owner Randy Ramsey explains, “Our idea was to bring together like-minded marine companies in a way that we can all work with each other and provide ultimate service to our customers. If you bring your boat to Jarrett Bay – whether its a large or a small job – you’ll work with a single service manager who can coordinate every trade service. From rebuilding engines, installing a new tower, full paint jobs – anything you want to accomplish on your boat can be done right here.” Jarrett Bay is authorized to provide repair and warranty work for all of Bluewater’s new boat brands and it’s easy to see why major production builders such as Lazzara, Hatteras, Grand Banks, Nordhavn and Viking have fully entrusted them with the scope of those responsibilities.
