Welcome to Middle Sound Boatworks

Many successful and rewarding years in retail boat sales laid the foundation for Middle Sound Boatworks, a full service boat sales and yacht brokerage company. “Middle Sound” has grown, been very busy, even profitable!

HOW IT ALL STARTED:

It all started over 50 years ago when J.D. McCotter Sr. (Daddy Joe) had the dream to open a boatyard in Washington, North Carolina. McCotter’s Marina thrived as a “working yard” on the Pamlico River, later adding several high quality boat lines- including Chris Craft. A busy fuel dock, covered and open boat slips, railway travel lifts, wood shop and huge showroom provided decades of valuable services to all of the eastern North Carolina boating community.
