In the month of October, Oasis Marinas added three new properties to their wide portfolio of properties, including Doyne’s Marine, Noank Shipyard and Kalyumet Campground.
“This past month was exceptional for us. We secured our first managed properties in both Indiana and Pennsylvania, while strengthening our footprint in New England,” said Matt Shipman, President of Oasis Marinas. He added, “October was a month that propelled Oasis forward, but is only the start of large growth, as we continue to bring our high-level of customer service, technology, and hospitality to more properties across the country.”
On October 1st, the Oasis team began operations for the first time in the state of Indiana, at Doyne’s Marine. Located in Portage, Indiana, 45 minutes south-east of Chicago, Doyne’s is a large-scale service and storage marina on the East Arm Little Calumet River. Boaters have access to the southernmost part of Lake Michigan, adorned with sprawling lakefront beaches and activities, in addition to, Indiana Dunes, a popular destination for travelers. Doyne’s Marine is a 40-slip marina, with dry storage space for over 400 vessels.

Mid-month, Oasis began operations at its first property in the Keystone State of Pennsylvania.
