If you’re a Montreal area boater, then you most likely know the Boathouse. Up until very recently, owned and operated by boating enthusiast couple, Lauriane McCormick and John Duk. John and Lauri and their staff have served the local boating community for many decades by not only providing marine hardware, supplies and equipment, but also passionately sharing their knowledge and advice without reservation.
And for those that have ever needed repairs or maintenance done to their beloved boats, then you most likely know or have heard of Montreal’s Shipwright Services owned by extremely knowledgeable and experienced owner, Josh Bernard and located on the grounds of the Beaconsfield Yacht Club.
Well, the very exciting news is that Josh Bernard is now the new owner of the Boathouse and John Duk will continue on serving and sharing is vast knowledge with Boathouse customers.
Moving to a new location, with easy access from major roads and highways, Josh and his team are hard at work getting the new location ready for their grand opening.
