SHIPYARD

Shearwater Resort’s shipyard is a full-service marine facility nestled right in the heart of its bustling marina on Denny Island. As part of the resort’s comprehensive moorage and marine services, the shipyard offers a 70-ton haul-out and heavy-duty boat lift, along with skilled mechanics ready to tackle repairs and maintenance on a wide range of vessels.

The yard is a hub of activity—strategically positioned between the Hideaway Floathouse, marina docks, and Fisherman’s Bar & Grill—making it easy for guests to grab a bite or run errands while their boat is out of the water. With potable water, power hookups, fuel services, and a marine hardware store nearby, it’s part of a well‑integrated ecosystem of amenities designed to support both local boaters and visiting charters.
