Although Roy Finney Sr. is no longer here to stand with the team, he will always remain a central part of The Boat Shop. Roy founded this marina more than forty years ago and poured his life into building a place where families could enjoy the lake the same way he did. His work ethic, his love for the water, and his commitment to helping others shaped the culture we still follow today.

Roy was hands on, full of energy, and happiest when he was out on the lake or sharing his knowledge with anyone who needed it. He created a legacy that continues through his family and through the many customers who learned to trust him over the years.

We honor Roy’s memory by carrying forward the values he lived every day. His influence is woven into every corner of The Boat Shop, and he will always be part of who we are.

Roy Finney Jr. is the owner of The Boat Shop in Tafton Pennsylvania. He grew up in the marina world and learned the business from his father who founded The Boat Shop more than forty years ago. Roy took over leadership and has continued the family tradition of helping people enjoy their time on Lake Wallenpaupack.

Roy focuses on customer service, honest guidance, and long term relationships. He has expanded services, modernized parts of the operation, and kept the marina a trusted spot for local boaters. He is hands on and involved in all parts of the business from service to sales to storage.

Outside the marina, Roy enjoys time with his family on the lake and being part of the local community. His goal is simple. Keep The Boat Shop a place where people feel welcome and know their boats are in good care.
