RYS has two salespersons on site at LaSalle in our two buildings, located at Toledo Beach Marina.
Serving the southwestern waters and neighboring islands of Lake Erie, Toledo Beach Marina is a full service facility with 550 deep-water boat slips and service for “Rack n’ Launch” storage. The Marina is nestled in a naturally protected harbor surrounded by untouched green space on 250 acres of land.
Slips range in size from 24 ft. to 85 ft., with capacity to accommodate vessels as large as 125 ft. The natural surroundings of the marina provide for an inviting, park-like setting and ideal protection for boats moored in the harbor.
The nostalgic beginnings of Toledo Beach Marina date back to the 1920’s when it was an amusement park, attracting visitors for its sandy beaches, dance hall, picnic grounds and amusement rides.
Dredged and converted to a marina in 1962, Toledo Beach has undergone many changes and modern updates. It's a perfect location to show and sell new and brokerage boats... and for Reed Yacht Sales to serve you.
