Our Mission:
Northeast Mooring & Salvage is 100% owner-operated. Our number one priority is customer service and customer relations. The company was established to provide a service that will ultimately protect our customers investments (your boats). We are very passionate boaters ourselves and are extremely committed to helping make every part of the boating experience an enjoyable one. Northeast Mooring & Salvage is here to create a secure environment for your boat from day one. Your boat will be safe and secure from the day you launch until the boating season comes to a close on a mooring assembled and maintained by Northeast Mooring.
