About Us
As a three generation family-owned business we have surrounded ourselves with a staff that embodies the same core values as us – a love of family, a passion for boating, a customer focused work ethic and a desire to share the boating lifestyle with others. We’re boaters too, which means we know just how important the boating season is to you, your family and friends. Our goal is to help elevate your boating experience at every touchpoint to ensure this is the best boating season yet!
If you’re new to Candlewood East Marina, we’d like to welcome you to stop in to meet our team and tour our facility. We’d be happy to take you through our Showroom, Service Center and Pro Shop which is setup to accommodate all of your boating needs. As a premier dealer for Cobalt Boats, Nautique Boats and Barletta Boats we stock a variety of boats including bowriders, wake/ski boats and pontoon boats.
For those boaters looking for that next level boating experience, we also offer a private lake front marina and clubhouse providing members and their guests access to the largest lake in Connecticut – Candlewood Lake. Candlewood East Marina Club is a one of a kind facility with beautifully manicured picnic grounds, waterfront dining, seasonal events and more.
We look forward to serving your boating needs and seeing your smiling faces out on the water.
Remember to have fun, stay safe and continue to live the dream!
