Great Lakes Yacht Services (GLYS) was founded on the original Palmer Johnson site in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin in the summer of 2003. GLYS Owners, Sheila and Scotty Turner, have been the Owner’s of this great yard for decades and are no strangers to the yachting industry.

GLYS boasts a vast array of skilled craftsmen and our facility features all new floating docks and deep-water access as well as updated electrical, plumbing, and an entirely new sea wall built in 2003. It’s better here!

Whether you own a 26’ or 90’ vessel, count on the fact that GLYS staff have “been there and done that”. If you are looking for inside heated or inside unheated, we have the secure, clean storage you are looking for and at very competitive rates.

GLYS features full service, refit, storage and a first class yacht sales and brokerage operation. Clients can feel confident that they are being handled by industry veterans whose focus is very simply…putting the pleasure back in pleasure boating.

GLYS service technicians have done more major refit and repairs than any other repair facility on the Great Lakes. Whether major mechanical, cosmetic, metal, glass or wood, our team is familiar in all disciplines. Our team knows the importance of each customer and strives to exceed expectations. V
