Our sister marina, Mystic Shipyard, is located just upriver of NVB, and provides the same high-level service as NVB. The two marinas work together to deliver an even better experience for our customers.

EXPLORE MYSTIC SHIPYARD

  • "Ron, Sue, Ethan, Andy- the entire crew here really know how to run a marina/shipyard. We’ve been coming here for years and have always found it to be a wonderful experience. If you need to do any work, this is a first class place to have it done- one of few truly professional facilities remaining- with REAL shipwrights. They can do it ALL, and they are some of the BEST."

    — Theodore W.

  • "Best boatyard I have been at over 50 years boating. You are treated extremely well. FIRST CLASS."

    — Doug B.

  • “I first got to Ron because he was the only authorized Steyr dealer on the East Coast, but I quickly grew to like and respect him. He brought a level of dedication and passion to the product that I have rarely seen in any field. He was able to share and direct my vision to recreate the Calabrone as a boat of dreams.”

    — Joe Bastianich

NVB was founded in 1972 by Bob and Nancy Helbig, and for over 50 years, family has been the root of everything we do. From ownership, to our relationship with customers, to how we treat our team, you feel the family atmosphere the second you pull in to NVB. Now with three generations of the Helbig family involved in operations, we are proud to be a family run marina.
