A split-screen image of two marinas. The left side shows Mystic Shipyard with numerous boats docked and a calm water body, under a clear sky. The right side depicts Noank Village Boat Yard at sunset, with boats docked and the sun low on the horizon, creating a warm glow.

The partnership between Mystic Shipyard and Noank Village Boatyard began in 1998, when Bob Helbig, owner of NVB, bought MSY with several other partners. In 2022, Bob and his children acquired MSY in its entirety, allowing the Helbigs to provide a premium, full-service boating experience to a greater number of boaters on the Mystic River and beyond.

How Does This Benefit You

Our marinas rely heavily upon one another, sharing parts, equipment, ideas, and manpower when needed to get work completed quicker and to the highest level.

❋ Collaborative Approach

Each marina has its unique strengths which set them apart. We recognize and utilize this luxury by putting our combined talent on the projects in which they excel. From high performance outboards to custom refits and restorations, our team covers it all.

❋ Streamlined Service

Two locations on the Mystic River allows us flexibility during our busy seasons, ensuring that space and manpower is never a burden.

❋ Increased Capacity

The Helbig’s purchase of Mystic Shipyard reflects their commitment to staying family-owned for generations to come. You can have confidence that the family atmosphere and neighborly service that is a staple for both marinas is here to stay for a long time.

❋ Family-Owned For Years To Come
