• At Donovan’s Shady Harbor Marina,
    It’s All About Our Customers

    Being boaters all of our married lives, we understand the importance of being treated right wherever our boat takes us. The way we see it, a positive attitude, and a strong desire to create a fun environment are most important. We hope to see you regularly as we continually improve upon our facilities. As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions.

    —Brian and Kathy Donovan
