Salty Podcast #30 | ⛵ Sailing Through Time: Bear Point Marina's Rich History ⛵🏖️

Welcome to a special combined episode of The Salty Podcast and Gettin' Beachy Podcast! This week, I'm diving into the fascinating history and exciting future of Bear Point Marina in Orange Beach, AL. My first guest is Marcus Kruk, whose father purchased the marina in 1968 after seeing an ad in the Wall Street Journal. Marcus grew up at the marina and has a treasure trove of historical stories to share. I'll also be joined by Craig Reaves, the current owner who acquired the marina in 2016. Craig has overseen numerous improvements and upgrades, including the remarkable recovery from the devastating damage caused by Hurricane Sally in September 2020. The marina's restaurant and facilities are now better than ever. Don't miss this engaging conversation that blends historical insights with modern advancements, offering something for both sailing enthusiasts and real estate aficionados.
