Each year, Laker Magazine conducts its Best of Smith Mountain Lake Awards where readers vote for their favorites in dozens of categories related to food, fun and business at SML. Voting has begun and we'd really appreciate your support!

We will have approximately 125 boats and personal watercraft available for purchase Sept. 5-10, 2018, at Bridgewater Marina at Smith Mountain Lake. This is an outstanding opportunity for individuals, dealers and entrepreneurs to purchase well-maintained vessels at considerably reduced prices. All are 2017 and 2018 models!

Pre-registration is required to participate! 

To register or ask questions, please contact Ryan Waters via phone or email:

540-721-1639 or ryan.waters@bwmarina.com

Please note, you must make a $1,000 deposit to be eligible to purchase a boat or jet ski at the sale but it is COMPLETELY REFUNDABLE if you decide not to buy.  We happily accept credit cards.

Boating at Smith Mountain Lake in the summer is always awesome, but I’ll let you in on a little secret:

September, October and November are some of the absolute best times to get out the water.

At Bridgewater Marina, we take Smith Mountain Lake boating safety seriously all year long.

But just prior to Memorial Day weekend, when boaters are gearing up for a new season on the water, we ramp up our education efforts even more. 

Bridgewater Marina is excited to announce that, for the second straight year, we will donate 100 percent of popcorn sales to Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia. Our goal is to raise $30,000!

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to donate $25,216 to the Richmond-based charity in 2017 as part of a campaign we call “Feed the Fish for Make-A-Wish.”
