If you've not yet heard the news...
To our wonderful Pier 88 family and friends,
After many incredible years of sun, splashes, and being part of your Lake Wylie traditions, Paul and I have decided it’s time to drop anchor on this chapter of our lives. We will officially retire as the owners of Pier 88 Yacht Club at the end of this year.
Since we took the helm in 2012, this marina has been so much more than a business to us—it has been our home, and you have been our community. Whether we were helping you fuel up for a Saturday on the water or catching up in the ship’s store, your friendship and support have meant the world to us.
We also want to extend a special thank you to the many amazing employees who have been by our side over the years. Their hard work and dedication helped make Pier 88 what it is today, and to us, they will always be family.
While this chapter is coming to a close, we are excited for the new adventures ahead and the memories still to be made. And we aren’t leaving just yet! We look forward to seeing all of you on the docks throughout the rest of the season as we celebrate this transition together.
With love and gratitude,
Rikki & Paul Herrmann

Just because we're closed for the season, it doesn't mean you can't come in for a fuel-up! Just make sure to give us a call first so we can meet you there :) Happy November, everyone!
