History of JMR

Jacobson Marina was founded in mid 1900's by the Jacobson family.  Back then it was much smaller and more of a commercial fishing port/marina than anything else.   Over the years it progressed and in late 1980's it was purchased by Herb Dow.  He is the man responsible for the current layout and structure.  He also developed much of town by adding a sewer system and roadway where the old railway used to be.  In late 1990's Herb passed away suddenly.  The marina was purchased by a man named Bill Arnold along with his sons, Bill and Dave.  Lori and I were seasonal slip holders with them for 7 years when Bill indicated he was going to sell to developers.  They intended on filling in a great portion of the North side and building condo units (approx. 27).   This was not something that was favorable for the town or businesses which enjoyed the waterfront view.  

Lori and I talked for 10 minutes.  During that time we decided we couldn't afford a condo just to have a slip.  So........ we looked at each other and said "Lets buy the marina".   Crazy enough 6 months later we were the new owners of Jacobson Marina Resort.

It was at that time that we added the pool and hot tub (which is now gone) along with a small food menu consisting only of Lobster tails and sandwiches.  

Through various adjustments and experiences, we have come up with what we now have to offer.  

Our goal is to provide a "top notch" service to those who are seeking it and appreciate it.

We hope that you will have a great experience and become part of our JMR family for many years to come.
