Happy 4th of July from Atlantic Yacht Basin - Celebrating Historic Friendship On This Independence Day

This July 4th at AYB we are thinking about friendship as we pause to celebrate this country's Independence and the history that goes with it.  2015 marks the arrival to U.S. shores of an incredible ship, the replica of the L'Hermione -- that brought the Marquis de Lafayette to America in 1780 with the important news of France's vital support in our own Revolution. 

Among this beautiful vessel's first stops was our own Tidewater area and for good reason, because this is one of the most important places for Revolutionary-era history.  Not just the marquee spots like Williamsburg and Yorktown, but right here in our own backyard  too, since the Battle of Great Bridge took place just across the ICW from us.

At this special time of year, when so many of us are out on the water, we are also thinking about and celebrating our own history and all the great customers and friends who have passed through over the years. 

We want to wish you and yours a safe and relaxing 4th of July.  Our office and shops will be closed over this July 4th weekend, but our Dockmasters are available 24/7 to help you with your fuel purchase, dockage or whatever you need.  

Stay tuned for our upcoming Summer newsletter where we'll have more on L'Hermione plus great tips, interviews and interesting features too!  
As always, please give us a call toll free at (800) 992-2489 or local at  (757) 482-2141 or drop us a line at info@atlanticyachtbasin.com for a free quote or to find out more about all of our comprehensive marine services.
