Fourth generation marina operator Ryan Crate has almost totally refurbished Crate Marine Belleville over the past five years and the facility is now in full operation with three top service technicians including both Mercury and Volvo specialists, an on-site canvas shop, over 200 slips and more planned in the coming year.

Crate Marine Belleville is in an ideal sheltered area that is within easy walking distance of downtown Belleville, the Farmer’s Market, dining and shopping.

The property was formerly Morch Marine in Belleville. The old buildings were taken down and the clean and attractive new facilities were built. There is also a partnership with the adjacent Travel Lodge Hotel. Marina customers can take the walking path over to use the pool, tennis courts and guest rooms at a special rate.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
