West
Marine Builds SuperCenter in Deltaville
April 2010 -
WestMarine is
expanding its retail operations in Deltaville with the construction
a new WestMarine
Superstore center. The new 20,000 square foot structure is almost
complete, with doors expected to open early Summer.
WestMarine
has successfully operated two separate retail stores in the
Deltaville market for several years; it only makes sense to merge
the two stores for one central location. The new
WestMarine Supercenter will be twice
the size of the two current retail stores combined. Plans are to
expand most all of its departments including fishing supplies,
maintenance and repair parts, sailing supplies and materials,
navigation and communication electronics, clothing and others.
WestMarine's
expansion into this growing market is recognition of Deltaville
as a major hub in the yachting industry. The positive economic
impact from the marine industry in the Deltaville and
surrounding area is undisputed. It's easy to understand why West
Marine would expand in Deltaville when you consider over 10,000
seasonal recreational and commercial boaters make their home
base in Deltaville and Middlesex County. No doubt these boaters
need the products and services of West Marine as well as the
rest of the marine industry.
Below, Deltaville Boatyard and
Southern Bay Rigging's Tom Walling lend a hand in the
construction with their 75 ton boom lift crane to help set the
steel trusses at the new supercenter.
Jackson
Creek Dredging
September 2011 - The dredging of the
Jackson Creek channel is completed. The dredging project, performed
by Harbor Dredge and Dock out of Richmond, VA, removed
approximately 5000 cubic yards of spoil. Excavators extracted the
spoil, then barges loaded with about 50 cubic yards each were pushed to
Deltaville Boatyard where they were emptied with another excavator
and loaded
onto dump trucks.
The project covered about 300 linear
feet of the channel in the vicinity of the dog leg, between day
markers red 2 and green 7. The width of the channel has
been increased to
approximately 60-80 feet and a depth of 9 feet at MLW (mean low
water).
July 2011 - Deltaville Boatyard recently unveiled their new
75-ton marine travel lift. With a beam capacity of 25
feet, the new behemoth lift will handle the longer, heavier
and wider boats, that are becoming a growing portion of the
recreational boating industry. To read

Jackson Creek = No Discharge
Zone
The Commonwealth of
Virginia has designated Jackson Creek, Broad Creek and Fishing Bay
as no discharge areas. This means the pumping out sewage, treated or
untreated, is strictly prohibited.
Deltaville Marina on Jackson Creek has been offering free pump out
services since 2008.
What Customers Are Saying
About DBY
"We had our 49' Krogen Express at DBY for
almost a year for a major upgrade with over 60 different
project orders; some projects were complex and technically
challenging. Keith Ruse worked directly with us on a
personal basis, including frequent consultation with marine
consultant Steve D'Antonio. Keith believes in training on a
large scale and has one of, if not the highest number of
ABYC certifications for his staff than any comparable or
even larger yards on the East Coast. Their quality is
outstanding. Their follow up after the sale is excellent and
their warranty worth every penny. This operation understands
customer service, does a great job, backs up their work,
goes the extra mile, and will always be our yard as long as
we own our boat." ~m/v Coconuts, Owners Bru and Sandy
Brubaker
"We
want to thank DBY for our wonderful experience while here at
the boatyard. For almost 6 weeks, we have been doing a refit
on our boat, and having the crew onboard to upgrade and
repair numerous items on Sojourner. Thank you, Keith
and Matt for having such a great place to complete our boat
work, and for your very professional and competent staff of
mechanics and a great office people." -s/v Sojourner,

Deltaville Marina and Boatyard. We will be back in the
Spring!" -s/v Celtic Cross
"Thanks
so much for the excellent job you and your well
qualified technicians did on Arcadia. You certainly exceeded
expectations. I have never experienced a yard that was so
conscientious about the quality of work AND in taking care
of my boat while she was in your care. All the warranty
repairs were well done. High praise to Stanley, his work was
excellent and he was committed to 'doing it right'. I
certainly will recommend your yard to others, and will look
to your for my future repair needs."
