The Madaket boat yard began as a family owned boat repair shop. Boats were brought into the shops by using the high tides, and were placed up onto railroad ties while repairs were made.

Hither Creek Boat Yard was formed by a small group of Madaket residents after being run by Shirley Yerxa.

Madaket Marine was formed as a division of Hither Creek Boat Yard, Inc.

More than eighty years later, Madaket Marine continues their commitment to taking care of our customers and protecting the local environment.
