About the marina

WELCOME TO ESS-KAY YARDS
OUR CONVENIENT LOCATION MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

We are located halfway, by boat, between Chicago and Miami on the beautiful Erie Canal System in central New York.

The NYS Canal System joins the Great Lakes with the Atlantic ocean. At Lock 23 on the Erie Canal, we are almost exactly at the center of the waterway.

Founded in 1968, Ess-Kay Yards has been built up to be one of the most complete large marina facilities on the Erie Canal. Ess-Kay Yards occupies the former marina facilities of Ace Boat Yard, a respected local Oneida Lake marine service and machine shop founded in the late 1930s.

Family owned and operated by the George E. Mann family, the marina has a long tradition of quality service, warmth and hospitality. The tradition continues today as Kim, George's daughter, helps guide the marina into the twenty-first century.

Location

On the New York State Erie Canal System, we are located at the west end of Oneida Lake, in the village of Brewerton, New York, on the south side of the channel. We are east of Lock 23, at marker 150. Monitor VHF 16.

BY CAR
For great sightseeing or convenient crew changes, we are only ten minutes from Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR), and 25 minutes from the Syracuse Amtrak train station.

From Syracuse, just take Interstate 81 eight miles north of Syracuse to the Brewerton exit. Bear right onto Bartell Road. Turn right (north) on US Route 11. Turn left at the stoplight onto Guy Young Road. Cross over the railroad tracks. We are 0.1 miles past the railroad tracks on the right.
