Over 50 Years of Commitment to our Customers

Built From the Ground Up

NVB was humbly founded in 1972 by Bob and Nancy Helbig, who had a dream of owning a marina. Over the past 50 years, the Helbigs and their children have transformed NVB from a yard with zero slips into a premium full-service marina.
