Havre de Grace Marine Center Announces Grand Opening

The Havre de Grace Marine Center will hold a grand opening on May 3, owners Chris and Lachelle Scarlato recently announced.

The Scarlatos purchased two marinas—Havre de Grace Marina at 723 Water St. and the Log Pond Marina at 410 Concord St.—in November and have been updating them ever since.

Under the name “the Havre de Grace Marine Center,” the business provides floating dock slips and moorings for jet skis and boats; new and pre-owned boat sales; extended-stay lodging; accommodations for large vessels; dry storage/sales/rentals for kayaks, canoes and stand-up paddle boards; and a 55-foot Chris Craft Yacht with three bedrooms and three baths. Its headquarters on Water Street includes a sail-making and repair shop and a retail store.

By fall 2014, the marina will also offer a venue for weddings and other events at its Water Street location.

The grand opening will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. on Friday, May 3, at 723 Water St. It is for slip holders and invited guests, including the mayor, the county executive and other dignitaries, according to the Scarlatos.

"It will offer an opportunity to guests to view the improvements underway and see plans for continued improvements" that are coming up, Lachelle Scarlato said. There will be a ribbon cutting at 3:30 p.m.
