TopSide Marinas announced the acquisition of Pikes Bay Marina located on the shore of Lake Superior in Bayfield, Wisconsin, in the heart of the Apostle Islands. Founded in 2001, Pikes Bay Marina has earned a reputation as one of the top destinations in the area, named Marina of the Year in 2018. It offers visitors 200 wet slips, heated indoor storage, outdoor storage, marine service, ship store, fuel dock, clubhouse and floating docks, making it an ideal stop for boaters in the area.
“Pikes Bay Marina is a perfect fit for TopSide Marinas. It embodies the spirit of exploration and community that defines Lake Superior boating, and we’re thrilled to welcome it into our growing family,” says Thomas Joy, director of investments for TopSide Marinas, reports World Ports Org.
A family-owned company, TopSide Marinas owns and operates high-quality marinas around the country. With the acquisition of Pikes Bay Marina, the company plans to build on the marina’s successful service department by increasing the original equipment manufacturers (OEMS) they will be servicing along with adding more technicians, acquiring stronger equipment to better service all types of boats, including larger ones, and offering winter service to snow mobiles and tractors.
“Acquiring Pikes Bay Marina is a natural progression for TopSide Marinas,” adds Ryan Skiles, regional vice president of TopSide Marinas, reports World Ports Org. “Nestled in the Apostle Islands archipelago, Lake Superior is one of the most unique boating hotspots in the world and a gateway to wilderness, adventure, and relaxation. We look forward to serving the community of boaters who call Pikes Bay their home port.”
