E.J. Mertaugh Boat Works is a full-service marina. We can store, restore, service, launch, and haul-out your boat.
E. J. Mertaugh Boat Works began in 1925, when Gene Mertaugh built the first boat house out of scrap lumber. He then made Mertaugh’s the first Chris-Craft dealership in the world, by navigating his inventory up Lake Huron via compass. Many of these original wooden boats remain in the area today.
Our world headquarters is located in Hessel, Michigan, in the historic Les Cheneaux area.
