A working boatyard on Boucher Avenue, established 1907.
Sarles Boatyard & Marina is a working yard in Annapolis — storage, restoration, repair and rentals — and it bills itself as the oldest working boatyard in the city. Its own name, sarlesboatyard.com, does not resolve, and what is online sits on a free blog subdomain somebody else owns.
One tap dials 410-263-3661, the number on file for the yard.

Four lines of work under one yard.
These four are the service lines carried in the record we hold. What sits under each one is the yard’s to state, so every row carries a slot rather than a guess.
Storage
The first question a boat owner asks is whether there is room. This row opens into a page that answers it in the yard’s own words.
Restoration
Restoration photographs best and travels furthest by word of mouth, and none of it reaches a phone screen today.
Repair
Repair work arrives on somebody else’s schedule, usually from a phone. Every screen here keeps the yard’s number one tap away.
Rentals
Rentals bring people who have never been to this yard before, which makes them the part a free blog page serves worst.
Nothing above is invented. The service lines come from the record we hold. No prices, sizes, seasons or promises have been added.
The yard’s name is on a free blog, not on a site of its own.
Durango built this page before any conversation, from what could be checked. Two things stood out.
The yard’s own name does not resolve
sarlesboatyard.com, the address anyone would type first, does not load at
all. The most obvious front door to the business is not there.
What is live is a free blog subdomain
The only working web presence found is a free blog subdomain carrying a stalled calendar widget and almost no customization — a platform address with somebody else’s name in it.
1907 is a fact. Everything around it is the yard’s to tell.
Two things about this yard’s history are on file and both are on this page: it was established in 1907, and it bills itself as the oldest working boatyard in Annapolis. We have not turned that date into a count of years, or written a history around it.
What goes here on the live build: the yard’s own account, in its own words. Nobody else can write it.

Two frames, left empty on purpose.
Stock photographs of a generic marina would drop straight into these. That is why they are not there.

The photograph that does the selling. One is worth more here than any paragraph.
Hours to be confirmed — every one of them.
Not one hour here is a guess. A boat owner who drives to a closed gate on a Saturday remembers it. Read the real hours down the phone; if the yard keeps different hours by season, the live build carries both.
The phone is the only contact channel on this page, and the only number we hold for the yard. Anything else goes on once the yard confirms it.

A guessed pin is worse than none.
A yard this old should be easy to find.
One address, one number, one page belonging to the business named on it.
