NORTHSHOREMAG.COM 78 JULY 2019 FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS July 2019 s p e c i a l a d v e r t i s i n g s e c t i o n Cape Ann's Marina Resort MILE MARKER ONE Fancy an ocean-side overnight? A fishing excursion? Need a boat, engine, trailer, or parts? Jonesing for a delicious dinner and cocktail with a side of live music? You'll find it all at Cape Ann's Marina Resort, located in the heart of Gloucester on the Annisquam River. It's home to a 31-room hotel, restaurant, bars, indoor pool, 265-slip marina, full service boat and storage yard, service and sales, fuel dock, event space, and more. Wake up on your boat or hotel room and enjoy the view. Charter a boat to catch a giant bluefin tuna, enjoy a delicious, freshly caught meal at Mile Marker One Waterfront Restaurant with a specialty rum cocktail from the Rum Shack, or belly up to the raw bar and jam to live music inside or on the deck. Who knows, maybe you'll even spot the stars and boats of National Geographic's hit TV series, Wicked Tuna! Family-owned and operated since 1971, Cape Ann's Marina Resort has grown incredibly since the visionary Andy Dominick and his wife bought a piece of land on the Annisquam River amongst the salt marsh just inside the Blynman drawbridge that leads to Gloucester Harbor. What started as a small hotel grew to so much more as Dominick continued to purchase the surrounding land, and expand the business with a marina and restaurant. Today, Andy's son, Drew, and daughter, Tobin, are continuing to build on their father's vision. Losing Andy in 2010 only made their partnership even more solid. Their commitment and dedication is evident in everything they do, whether it's construction projects, renovations, and new developments; running daily and seasonal operations; managing dozens of employees; or volunteering in the community. Drew started the thriving Gloucester High School lacrosse program, and Tobin volunteers with and has chaired many tourism organizations, including Discover Gloucester. You might even see Drew on his lobster boat during early mornings before coming to work, catching the fish that'll be served later that day at Mile Marker One. It's a true passion that balances the business life, too. A must visit, come by boat or car, for a meal, for an overnight or for the season; everything you need is onsite.
