Great Lakes Yacht Services (GLYS) was founded on the original Palmer Johnson site in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin in the summer of 2003. GLYS Owners, Sheila and Scotty Turner, have been the Owner's of the great yard for decades and are no strangers to the yachting industry.

WE SELL ONLY VETERAN BOATS.  That's right, BROKERAGE BOATS ONLY! By not offering any new or company owned boats for sale, we are able to dedicate all of our sales expertise towards selling your boat instead of competing with it.

With our first class yacht sales and brokerage operation, you can be assured that we'll find the right boat for you. If you're selling your boat, we'll help you to properly price and represent your boat to as many potential buyers as possible through our contacts with other brokers and dealerships around the country.

By promoting your boat on numerous websites and boating publications, your boat will be viewed by thousands of buyers and brokers nationwide, all at no additional cost to you. Call us today and list your boat with us! We have the resources and know-how to sell your boat.   

Purchasing a boat is a big decision, but with our help we can ensure that you make the right decision.

GLYS boasts a vast array of skilled craftsmen and our facility features all new floating docks and deep-water access as well as updated electrical, plumbing, and an entirely new sea wall built in 2003. It's better here!

Whether you own a 26' or 90' vessel, count on the fact that GLYS staff have "been there and done that". If you are looking for inside heated or inside unheated, we have the secure, clean storage you are looking for and at very competitive rates.

GLYS features full service, refit, storage and a first class yacht sales and brokerage operation. Clients can feel confident that they are being handled by industry veterans whose focus is very simply…putting the pleasure back in pleasure boating.

GLYS service technicians have done more major refit and repairs than any other repair facility on the Great Lakes. Whether major mechanical, cosmetic, metal, glass or wood, our team is familiar in all disciplines. Our team knows the importance of each customer and strives to exceed expectations.
