Facilities For Catamarans at the Chesapeake Bay Catamaran Center at Dickerson Harbor Maryland

The Oxford Yacht Agency and its Dickerson Harbor boatyard have been investing in catamaran service facilities for many years. The result is a full set of wide slips, dedicated land storage acreage, storage sheds (both heated and unheated), and all the haul out equipment needed for up to a 29 ft beam catamaran. Our repair capabilities and dedicated catamaran facilities make us a premier resource for catamaran and trimaran owners on the Chesapeake Bay and for the whole east coast of the USA.

Land facilities include over 2 acres of dedicated outdoor storage close by our haul out locations. The area is totally secure in a peaceful setting on La Trappe creek near Oxford, MD.

Summer storage in the water or hauled out offers the perfect place to avoid hurricanes with no worries. Summer is the perfect time for major repairs when the yard is slow. Most of our Chesapeake Bay customers cruise the local waters in the summer so their boats are in use.

In the winter, your boat can be stored outdoors or in one of our several indoor buildings with the mast un-stepped. Heated storage is also available. Winter is also a great time to get repairs completed if you are not able to cruise south and have the time to let us fit them into our schedule.

Equipment specifically supporting our catamaran service and storage include:

  • Boom truck for un-stepping masts, removing engines, or many important tasks
  • Hydraulic trailer and tugs for moving boats, including catamarans, with minimum stress and maximum precision
  • Set of adjustable catamaran spreader bars for haul out using a crane
  • Jenkins sail loft close by for professional sail repair or replacement (the owner, John Shannahan, works with them frequently for his racing sails)
  • Electronics integration test equipment, including most recently becoming an authorized repair agent for Glendenning’s Pro Pilot Joystick Control System
  • 29’ beam travel lift coming in the Summer of 2024

For summer storage in water, our marina in downtown Oxford, MD offers two catamaran slips in the most beautiful little town on the Eastern Shore. Enjoy your summer in peaceful tranquility and be only a few miles from our Dickerson Harbor Boatyard.
