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.

I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
