Humbug Marina and JP’s Waterfront Restaurant in Gibraltar, Michigan, have been acquired by a team of Downriver residents, through a newly formed entity named Rise Gibraltar LLC.
Sellers Jason and Krissy McGuire had owned the marina for seven years and had made many improvements, including building the brand-new full-service waterfront restaurant, JP’s Waterfront, which helped to revive the community of Gibraltar, located on the shores of the Detroit River.
“At the marina, customers can look forward to investments and growth in our service department, continued dock and seawall rehabilitation, more heated boat storage space, new and used boat brokerage, and customer-centric adoption of technology,” says Rob Molnar, one of the new owners. “The relaxed marina culture will continue to be the mission.”
The team also plans on adding an outdoor beer garden to the restaurant.
The entire facility offers a full-service restaurant, 500-plus boat slips, 200-plus rack and launch spots, indoor and outdoor winter boat storage, boat brokerage, mechanic service, hoist service up to 35 tons, bathhouses with laundry, and a waterfront convenience store with beer, fuel and pump-out services.
The site will remain home to Suneeker’s Boat Club, featuring a clubhouse with bar service, an outdoor recreation area and club member dockage.
