Gibbs Marine
DOCK SLIPS: This marina offers 4,000’ of frontage on the Genesee River with 200 slips across 22 acres of land. All slips have potable water and electric, with restroom and shower facilities located throughout the property. Our fixed docks are being replaced with floating docks starting in 2025 and fully completed for the 2026 season.
LOCATION: Gibbs Marine is in the City of Rochester, located on the west side of Genesee River south of the O’Rourke bridge and accessed off Lake Avenue via Petten Street. We are located on the right or south side of Petten Street where it meets the Genesee River. River Street Marine, which we also operate, is on the left or the north side of Petten Street. Since the marina is a half mile inland it is well protected from storm surges on the lake. Elevated land on both sides of the river gives the marina good protection from the wind. Half of our slips are located off the river where there are no river currents to navigate with when docking.
STORAGE & HAULING: We have 12 acres of land available for boat storage, including a 25,000 square foot indoor storage building with 25’ inside height. We have a 30 ton (66,000 pounds) and 19 ton (41,800 pounds) mobile travelifts. Most storage areas have electric and water feeds located within the yard to make work onshore easier. Our yard is secured by an entrance gate with electronic access controls. Cameras also monitor the property.
SERVICES: This is a full-service marina. We offer hauling, launching, and winterization to customers that dock or store with us for the winter. We have ethanol free 90 Octane Gasoline and Diesel. Mechanical repairs are available to current slip customers on a first come first served basis to keep as many of them on the water as possible. We were previously a Mercury, MerCruiser, and Volvo Penta dealer so we have technicians that were factory trained to use the special tooling required for many of today's complex propulsion systems. We do not transport boats over the road.
NEARBY AMENITIES: Within a few minutes’ drive by auto you will find: a dozen restaurants, a dozen bars, two convenient stores, a grocery store, 6 pizza shops, Abbots, and Lake Ontario Beach Park.
LAND IMPROVEMENTS IN PROGRESS: The marina is participating in NY State’s Brownfield Cleanup Program. The final phase of this program is to cap 12 acres of the marina with crushed stone or crushed concrete. This work will continue in small areas at a time to minimize impact to our boaters. Near shore greenspace and landscape features will be installed in 2025 and 2026.
DOCK IMPROVEMENTS IN PROGRESS: Our fixed docks are being replaced with floating docks which is expected to be completed for the 2026 season. The map below shows the latest revision for new dock replacement.
