Service Technicians obtain prestigious ABYC Certifications in early 2016
American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) is the essential source of technical information for the marine industry. They develop product safety standards, credentialing, education, training, and other tools to achieve the goal of making boating safer. ABYC Standards are the basis of certification programs, marine surveys and legal judgements, relied upon heavily by boat insurers worldwide.
The Certified Technician program sets the precedent for education in the marine industry and our customers can be confident that we take our industry knowledge seriously. With a higher degree of training comes more efficient work produced, greater customer satisfaction and ultimately safer boats.
The certification requires 4 days of classroom study with a final test that is no easy feat. Each is a timed test of 3 hours with 200 questions, covering the complex details of the 8 different certifications offered. Obtaining 3 of the 8 certificates qualifies a technician as a Master Technician in the industry. There are only 4 in Wisconsin and Tom Grupstra is one of them!
Congratulations to each of these dedicated Washburn Marina technicians - we are proud of their achievement and acknowledge their hard work.

Washburn Marina's Annual Garage Sale
September 17, 2016
Every year in September, we open the garage door - literally - and allow boaters to bring their gently used items to sell and purchase other boater's items at garage sale prices. After Labor Day weekend, boaters are welcome to bring their marine related items to price and prepare for sale. On the day of the sale, the doors open and the crowds flock in! You've got to be early to find the best treasures. Call for more details. 715 373 5050

Lake Superior is never predictable. Some winters we have no ice cover and others you could walk all the way across the Lake. It's a long walk!
