C & L Marine

Smith Mountain Yacht Club was founded in 1964. This was the same year Smith Mountain Lake had completely filled at the headwaters of the Roanoke and Blackwater rivers. Smith Mountain Lake is the first lake in a chain of four that eventually wind their way down to Ablemarle Sound in North Carolina. The lakes 22, 000 acres and 500 miles of shoreline provide a playground for a variety of water related activities. Fisherman and boaters alike plan their families vacations and weekends at the lake seeking to enjoy its peaceful serenity. The Blue Ridge Mountains mirror the lake, adding to its aesthetic beauty by providing scenic vistas the year round. Smith Mountain Lake has a pump back hydroelectric generation dam, which provides clean water up the east coast while allowing us to recover some water from downstream. Our lake is designated as a zero discharge zone by the EPA and monitored by local colleges to ensure its quality is maintained. Smith Mountain Yacht Club prides itself on being the most comprehensive facility on the lake. Our core business consists of new and pre-owned boat sales, an outstanding maintenance and service staff as well as ample storage capabilities. We also boast a private protected deep water cove with mooring for vessels up to a length of 60'. Smith Mountain Lake is commonly referred to as the "Jewel of the Blue Ridge" and we agree wholeheartedly. Smith Mountain Yacht Club would like to invite all of you to stop by for a visit and see why so many refer to us as their "lifetime retreat".
