Sailboat Rigger
About Journey’s End
Journey’s End Marina has been in Rockland, Maine for over 30 years. The parent company, O’Hara Corporation, has been in the maritime industry for over 100 years, operating fishing boats around the country. Starting in Boston as “Francis J. O’Hara and Son’s."
In the 1990’s, the fishing industry declined on the East coast and the fishing boats moved west which left acres of waterfront property vacant. Fearing the loss of Rockland’s historic working waterfront O’Hara Corporation purchased the unused processing plants. This marked the beginning of a vision that has become Journey’s End Marina. A first-class marina, for all boating needs. Our clients travel from all over the world to store their boats and yachts with us!
