Our Story

Circa 1958 and just a few short years after Hemmingway wrote The Old Man and the Sea , Vero Marine Center started “Serving Boaters on the Waterfront” when Bob Chesborough opened the business. Family-owned and -operated since its beginning and still at the same location, Vero Marine Center was acquired by Bruce and Jackie MacIntyre in 1977.

Vero Marine Center has been providing exceptional service to the boating community while actively involved in assuring that families, friends and potential boat owners enjoy the unspoiled magic of the area. Under the current ownership of Brian Cunningham and Boo MacIntyre, “The Busy Marina” continues to be the area's boating headquarters!

Vero Marine Center can handle all your boating needs with new boat sales for Grady White and Robalo boats as well as pre-owned boats and brokerage service for your boat. Vero Marine Center is also one of the oldest Yamaha outboard dealers in the United States - since 1984 - as well as the area’s only authorized, full-line, full-service Yamaha outboard dealer.

Need a boat trailer ? Vero Marine Center represents Float-On aluminum trailers. As a full-service marina, Vero Marine Center can handle your boating needs from the custom rigging, boat detailing and a fully stocked ship’s store all under one roof.

We are proud to be the oldest marine company in Indian River County and plan on being here to fill all our customers’ needs for many more years to come. Please contact us at (772) 258-4268 with any questions you may have about the marina.
