Our Vision
Our Story
Renowned today as the premier boating service provider, Bridge Marina’s journey to industry leadership began with humble roots in the 1950s when Carmen and Salustiano Fernandez, inspired by their son Joseph, took a day trip to Lake Hopatcong and eventually made the bold step of purchasing a quaint marina then known as “Ack’s Beach.” Their determination and hard work made the park a beloved family getaway on Lake Hopatcong for decades, complete with boat slips, a tranquil lakeside park, and a popular restaurant serving home-cooked meals. Throughout the years, the Fernandez family faced a myriad of challenges and navigated the complexities of the business world with the resources and knowledge available at the time, but their relentless work ethic and resilience never wavered.
Those earlier years, characterized by a humble and earnest approach to providing quality, family-oriented experiences, laid the groundwork for the boating hospitality business Bridge Marina has become today. Over the past 20+ years, third-generation owner Ray Fernandez’s visionary leadership has redefined the marina and boat dealer model, transforming Bridge Marina into a premier destination for boaters of all skill levels. Bridge Marina’s unique approach blends top-tier boater education, luxury boat rentals, a high-end boat club and exceptional boat sales and service, creating a full-service experience for guests.
Bridge Marina’s commitment to providing safe and memorable boating experiences has been recognized with significant accolades, including two national “Marina of the Year” awards and the prestigious 2020 National Boating Safety Award from the Sea Tow Foundation. A champion of responsible boating practices, Bridge Marina is the first freshwater “Clean Marina” certified by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection in the Garden State.
From its modest beginnings to its current status as a market leader in the boating industry, Bridge Marina is a testament to the power of hard work, adaptability, and the enduring spirit of family.
