🏴‍☠️ Pirate Days adventures aren't just happening on the water...

These young pirates made a stop at one of Bridgewater Marina's favorite traditions: Feed the Fish for Make-A-Wish!

Pick up a bag of fish food at the marina to keep the bellies of our famous carp full, and help support Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia with every purchase. This favorite family tradition is a simple way to make a difference while you're enjoying Smith Mountain Lake.

We hope everyone has a fantastic Pirate Days weekend! ⚓🐟

🏴‍☠️ One of the best parts of our Boat Club is seeing members create traditions like this.

Pirate Weekend, fireworks, sunset cruises, family outings—it's about much more than just having a boat. It's about making memories on Smith Mountain Lake.

These pirates were definitely ready for adventure! ⚓☀️

🚤 Thinking about making the move from renting to owning?

Our team at Bridgewater Boat Company is offering early access to their annual Fall Fleet Sale. This is your chance to purchase a late-model boat at a significant savings at the end of the season.

Many of our renters go this route once they’re ready for more time on the water. Reach out if you want to get on the list early.

Thinking ahead to your next boat? We’re building the list for our fall fleet sale, and this is your chance to get early access!

These boats will be released later in the season, but those on the list will have the first opportunity to view and purchase. Get on the list early for the best selection.

Call or reach out to learn more about how the fleet sale works.
