Weaver’s Marine Service Celebrates
75th Anniversary
At 75 years old, Weaver’s Marine Service is one of the oldest
family owned marinas on the Chesapeake Bay. In 1945 Sam and
Chester Weaver started Weaver Brothers Boatyard on Back River.
Their business began with building wooden boats but it soon
became apparent that there was a greater need for a marina and
boat repairs. Sam built a pier with trees from his property and a
dream turned into a realty that evolved over the years into a firstclass
marina and renowned marine service center. The hard work
ethic lives on with present owners Sam Weaver Jr. and Jeffrey
Zahner at the helm. After several devastating set backs including
an electrical fire and severe hurricane damage the property was
completely renovated. Today boaters enjoy resort marina
amenities and the finest in marine service technology. For more
