Ess-Kay Yards Inc

We are located halfway, by boat, between Chicago and Miami on the beautiful Erie Canal System in central New York. The NYS Canal System joins the Great Lakes with the Atlantic ocean. At Lock 23 on the Erie Canal, we are almost exactly at the center of the waterway. Founded in 1968, Ess-Kay Yards has been built up to be one of the most complete large marina facilities on the Erie Canal. Ess-Kay Yards occupies the former marina facilities of Ace Boat Yard, a respected local Oneida Lake marine service and machine shop founded in the late 1930s. Family owned and operated by the George E. Mann family, the marina has a long tradition of quality service, warmth and hospitality. The tradition continues today as Kim, George's daughter, helps guide the marina into the twenty-first century. WE ARE OPEN YEAR ROUND - seven days (Easter to Thanksgiving). During the off-season, please call for our schedule. West end of Oneida Lake, East of Lock 23 @ marker 150. There is current for some slips that are directly on the Erie Canal - there is lots of help to dock if needed. Located right on the Erie Canal. West End of Oneida Lake, across from Maker 150. The inside basin is shallower.
