Founded in 1962 by Earl Rumery on the site of a former CMP coal fired electric generating station, originally constructed by York Light & Heat Company in the 1880s.

Rumery’s is a member of Maine Marine Trades Association, American Boat and Yacht Council and was a participant in Maine's North Star Alliance Initiative. 

We are happy to support HEART OF BIDDEFORD, a Main Street Maine Community project, as well as York County Junior Achievement, providing financial literacy to our future workers. 

NO WAKE Restrictions on the Saco River 

The River has some fragile areas, where wake of any significance causes erosion of the bank, and a receding shoreline. The Cities of Saco and Biddeford enforce "headway speed only zones" in the River. See the Harbor Brochure for details. HOWEVER, when navigating in areas of the River where the restriction does not apply, you are still responsible for your wake. Be aware of other boats, especially smaller ones, and boats with other boats in tow. 

Rumery's celebrates 56 years in business at the same Saco River location!
