FROM THE HELM
The holidays are behind us, the boat show season is sneaking up on us,
and it’s already time to start thinking about next boating season.
But first - I would be remiss if I didn’t thank all of you who made the 2001 season a
huge success, and one for all of us to remember.
Two of the highpoints of this past summer were the resurrection of the 45-year-old Cape
May County Offshore Fishing Tournament (in which we were the host Marina), and the
beginning of what may be an annual event: The Schooner Island Marina Talent Show,
pushed especially by that creative bunch from "A" dock. These events, along with
Christmas in July, and whatever else you folks would like to see happen, has made
Schooner Island Marina one of the "Top-Ten Family Destinations" on the east coast,
as noted in one of the recent "Chesapeake Bay Magazine" issues.
Parking - which didn’t seem to be a major problem this year as it has in previous years,
is going to be addressed. Hopefully, by the time you start coming to the Marina this
spring, a security gate, such as that used by the "E-Z Pass" system, should be
in place. Parking passes will be required. A "gate card" will be used to open the
gate upon approaching and leaving the Island. Visitors will be asked to park on the
auxiliary parking lot across the street, so slipholders will have adequate parking
space. Security monitors will be located throughout the Marina for added protection,
with future plans to use the same monitors so you may call in on the internet to check
on your boat, or see what you’re missing during the week while you’re back at home.
ontinues to grow with the solid leadership of Bob Weiler, and
sidekick Scott White. The appointment by Regal Boat Company as a full-line dealership,
along with Sea Craft and Jersey Cape, and many brokered boats, has launched
into fast becoming a recognized full-service sales dealership in the tri-state area.
Please stop by and meet Bob and Scott and see the full list of brokerage boats that are
available, and possibly help you upgrade to a new or pre-owned "creampuff."
It has been great watching Rick Peterman and Tom Morrissey lead our service staff into
what has evolved into a state-of-the-art full-service facility. The quality of the
service that has been offered to customers that have boats from 17’ outboards to the
multi-million dollar offshore sportfishing machines has been extraordinary. Jobs that
have been completed include such things as prop and shaft replacement, engine repair
and replacement, electronics installations, and many other marine related tasks. The
Marina staff has already begun to gear up for the fast-approaching boating season.
Terri, Charlie, Pop, and the dock staff are preparing to have Schooner Island Marina
all spiffed up by the time the boats will be coming back.
New items in the Ship’s Store, a fresh coat of paint here and there, a few new faces
both on our staff and out in the slips, will combine to make Schooner Island Marina
a leader in sales, service and marina facility’s.
We will continue to strive to make your stay here with us as enjoyable and carefree
as possible.
See ya at the Shore!!!!!!!

Scott White Newest Member of Staff
Scott White has joined the staff.
He will sell
the company’s full line of Regal, Sea Craft, and Jersey Cape boats as well
as the large selection of brokerage boats has listed.
"We are thrilled to have Scott join us here at
,"
said Bob Weiler, sales manager. "He has been a boater all his life and
absolutely loves the sport. He brings that enthusiasm and a wealth of
boating experience to every sale. He really senses the customer’s wants
and then matches that boater to the perfect vessel."
White attended the University of Delaware on
a football scholarship
and then attended Chapman’s School of Seamanship in Stuart, Florida,
obtaining his captain’s license. He has been fishing the waters off
Cape May all his life, most recently as captain of Hot Sparks, a private
58-foot sportfisherman. His professional career has taken him to North
Carolina, Florida, Mexico, and the Bahamas in pursuit of blue marlin,
white marlin and sailfish. In addition, Scott has competed in sportfishing
tournaments for Cape May to Mexico. A native of Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania, he now resides in Cape May.
“When I decided to come ashore and go into
sales, I selected
because it offers the whole package in one place - a full
line of vessels, an outstanding service department with winter storage
and a beautifully appointed marina,” said White. “The management at
makes the kind of deals that make the trip to Wildwood
worthwhile before buying a new or previously owned boat.”

Here it is the middle of November and people are still flocking to South Jersey and getting on their boats and heading for the rips or the bay. We should all take a moment to reflect on the memorable days we had on the water. |
Call the Marina Office First With a Slip Phone Connection Problem
The trials and tribulations of deregulated utilities like the phone
service don’t stop at the marina gate. They can follow you right to
your slip. Here are a few tips to make your boating life easier. |
Schooner
Island is no longer
