About Great Pond Marina

The Great Pond Marina Family

Bob & Debbie Gardner purchased the marina in 1991 from Dave Webster; the original “Mail Boat Captain” in Ernest Thompson’s play and later movie, "On Golden Pond". Now with renewed energy, the helm is being passed on to their two sons, Adam and Jason, daughter Jessica, along with daughter-in-law Stephanie. Besides running the Marina, the Gardner’s have been involved in numerous community organizations within Belgrade Lakes. The Gardner’s are Board Members of the Belgrade Lakes Region Business Group, the Maine Marine Trade Organization, Maine Committee for Invasive Species, and DEP Committee for Marina Best Management Practices. Their son Adam was also recently on the Board of Directors of the Belgrade Lakes Association.

Each year we continue to expand our O'Brien Watersports inventory; offering more in a full line of towable tubes, skis, wake boards, stand-up paddle boards, ski jackets, and accessories. The O’Brien name has been famous for more than 50 years for quality, performance, and value. The Great Pond Marina has been an O'Brien dealer for over 30 years, consistently offering competitive prices; plus we handle any warranty adjustments in-house.

Great Pond is the largest of the chain of Belgrade Lakes and is prized for its clear waters, famous bass & northern pike fisheries, and vacation cottages. It is eight miles long and five miles wide with 8000 acres of water. Belgrade Lakes has been a destination for summer vacationers for decades, with generations returning each year for their summer memories.
