Michigan Marina Changes Hands

A team comprised of Downriver residents Justin Bise, Robert Molnar, Ron Thomas and Joshua Cade announce their purchase of Humbug Marina and JP’s Waterfront Restaurant in Gibraltar, Michigan.

The team, through a newly formed entity named Rise Gibraltar LLC, took over management effective March 1 and will conclude the acquisition after a transition phase allowing regulatory transfers of the various licenses and approvals needed to operate the dynamic facility.

Many of the current staff members are staying on board and are excited to maintain the many relationships that they’ve made with loyal guests over the last few years. Large groups and private parties can book a two-story pavilion as a private event space.

The entire facility offers a full-service restaurant, more than 500 boat slips, more than 200 rack and launch spots, indoor and outdoor winter boat storage, boat brokerage, mechanic service, hoist service up to 35 tons, bathhouses with laundry and a waterfront convenience store with beer, fuel and pump out services conveniently located where the Detroit River meets Lake Erie in Gibraltar, Michigan. The site will remain home to Suneeker’s Boat Club; featuring a nicely constructed and outfitted clubhouse with bar service, an outdoor recreation area, and club member dockage. For 32 years and counting Sunseeker’s has been a social boating club made up of enthusiastic, friendly people. The club provides members, their families, and their guests with great times through fun activities, friendship and entertainment, both on and off the water. They are a club affiliate of AYC.
