Our Staff
Cliff
In Loving Memory
From launching boats in the spring, to repairs and maintenance throughout the season, Cliff truly did it all. He is well-remembered throughout Vermilion, even outside our local boating community, for his bright smile that was always on display as he moved boats through town on the tractor. Cliff’s legacy still guides marina operations today as we know he’s keeping us on course from Heaven.
Alicia
Office Manager
We’d be lost without Alicia! She’s our office manager and keeps everything and everyone in line, which is not an easy job! She tackles all of the billing, customer service, and even serves as a Mate aboard the Mystic Belle. Alicia’s usually escorted by her sidekick Huey (see below)!
JJ
Yard Manager
JJ has been with us for over 20 years and has a wealth of knowledge. From scheduling launch/haul outs, managing our workforce, and performing whatever needs to get done - he’s a great team player and there isn’t much that JJ doesn’t have experience with. As our awesome Yard Manager, he keeps us on task, organized, and happy!
Tyler
Assistant Yard Manager
Tyler is the ninth generation to be in the family business and a USCG Licensed Captain with over 3 years of experience! Much like his dad, Cliff, he’s been running boats since he could walk and he’s instrumental for a lot of day to day operations.
Christy
Rigging Expert
Christy is the resident sailing expert and tackles everything having to do with rigging, splicing, stepping/unstepping masts, and general regatta preps. She’s our marine electronics go-to and also a USCG Licensed Captain with over 20 years of experience!
Don & Karen
“Retired”
This marina is what it is today because of Don & Karen. Family to some, friend to all - Don is our “retiree” and resident tinkerer. He calls himself the Janitor, but he’s our go to expert for everything! Karen is our green thumb who keeps the planters near every dock in perfect shape!
Gene
As an avid sailor himself, Gene helps Christy with all of the rigging and sailboat tasks. He’s very well versed in engine repair and is innovative when it comes to solving problems. Gene’s also a Mate aboard the Mystic Belle!
Wyatt
Wyatt has been with us for over three years. An honest to goodness hard worker, Wyatt never shies away from a challenge and can always put a smile on anyone’s face!
Bailey
Certified 10/10 good doggo. Professional yard dog. Skills include: swimming, eating, making people smile, and official goose/duck chaser. You can normally find Bailey right by Christy’s side
Huey
Yard dog in training but he’s also a certified 10/10 good doggo. A gentle giant standing hip-tall, Huey always has a smile on his face and plenty of licks to give. You can always find Huey right by Alicia’s side and he absolutely weighs more than she does!
