Yankee Point Marina in Lancaster, VA has joined the B+G Marine Services family of companies. Yankee Point Marina (37 ̊ 41.636’ N 76 ̊ 29.402’ W) is a full-service boatyard and marina on the Rappahannock river with 101 slips and room for 180 boats in the boatyard. Todd and Kara Patterson, owners of B+G Marine Services in the British Virgin Islands, completed the purchase on 5 May 2022.
It’s very exciting to finally have a solid base of operations in the US, and in a prime east coast location. I’ve been hanging around boatyards long enough, I thought I should buy one!
I’m planning to bring the B+G level of service to this marina and boatyard, and making the most of having great locations in the Caribbean and the US.
My heart and a great team remains in the BVI. I’m looking forward to welcoming my BVI friends to Yankee Point, or seeing you back on Tortola on one of my many annual visits!
