Desert Boat Girl

Boating in the desert! My family has been selling boats and helping people enjoy boats in the desert for 52 years this month!

Thanks for stopping by... My name is Candice and I am your desert boat girl! I've grown up in the boating industry. Now this isn't unusual. I mean not growing up in the boating industry... but growing up in the boating industry in the middle of desert, some might say is. Well, we have a beautiful lake here. Actually I found out today that Lake Mead NRA (National Recreation Area) is the fifth most visited National Park system entity. Even more than the Grand Canyon! Now that's pretty cool...

So a little bit about us... My grandparents (Bob & Betty Gripentog) bought the Las Vegas Boat Harbor in 1957, the year my mom was born (you better not tell her I told). Well they bought this little dock on Lake Mead with some trailers on the shore. They thought they would fish a lot and work a little... That's the story. So 52 years later, 5 generations of family, the business is bigger and more interesting than ever.

We currently have almost 1,500 slips on Lake Mead, two floating restaurants and lounges, indoor & outdoor dry storage at the lake, two beautiful indoor boat showroom sales facilities in Las Vegas, a top notch service & parts facility in Las Vegas, and a great boating accessories store on Boulder Highway in Las Vegas.

So if you need a boat, want to use your boat, or need to find something for your boat. Check us out! Las Vegas Boat Harbor, Lake Mead Marina, Dry Dock Boat Sales, Marine Center of Las Vegas, and Las Vegas Bay Dry Storage. You can always visit us out online at http://www.boatinglakemead.com/ with our 24 hour showroom and much much more.

Well that's all for today. Thanks for reading & Happy Boating to all!!
