Merger of North Light Yacht Club and Emerald Coast Marine to expand local operations
North Light Yacht Club and Emerald Coast Marine have merged to create Emerald Coast Maine Center in Niceville, expanding operations and enhancing services.
North Light Yacht Club (NLYC) and Emerald Coast Marine (ECM) have announced a merger to form the Emerald Coast Marine Center (ECMC). The new company is led by three boating industry veterans including Shawn Talpey, President & Chief Operating Officer; Keri Doscher, Vice President; and Jeff Orbin, Vice President of Marketing and Development.
The new partnership is meant to create a comprehensive boat sales, service, rental, marina and yacht club experience for boaters throughout the Florida Panhandle.
“Our goal is to provide our clients with the most personalized, responsive and enjoyable boating experience possible, both oceanside and dockside,” says Talpey, who founded Emerald Coast Marine with partner Keri Doscher in 2015. Talpey and Doscher previously worked together for several years in senior management roles that helped lead their former employer to the highly coveted #1 retail boat dealership ranking in North America.
Emerald Coast Marine leased space at North Light Yacht Club in the spring of 2016 to accommodate its fast-growing new boat sales and service dealership. Conversations ensued the following winter to discuss the long-term benefits and opportunities of creating a joint partnership with North Light Yacht Club. With a shared vision for creating a unique, all-inclusive boating experience to benefit boaters in their market, the principals from both companies discussed and analyzed a strategic merger option, with a favorable outcome.
The next few months will directly reflect the new vision and major enhancements for the facility.
Plans include the recent acquisition of an adjacent property that will be utilized to expand the sales facility by building a new, indoor showroom with additional customer parking. A new Service, Parts and Accessories department will be built within the existing dry storage facility to provide store frontage for popular marine parts and tackle. The current Ship’s Store will be consolidated, providing expanded space for a new Yacht Club lounge. The popular pool and spa area will also receive a major renovation to provide more privacy with poolside cabanas, along with the addition of a tiki bar, which will be operated by “Chef Dan’s Fuel”, the waterfront bistro.
In addition, plans call for the launch of Emerald Coast Water Sports this spring, featuring a rental/boat club to provide a unique and affordable alternative to boat ownership. The rental/boat club will offer first class products including new center consoles, dual consoles, deckboats, high performance pontoon boats, stand-up paddle boards as well as kayaks.
Besides the comprehensive facility, service and product expansion, ECMC will also launch an active event social calendar in response to client requests. On tap for 2017 includes an on-water “BoatUp/FloatUp Movie Night,” “Rock the Docks Concert Series,” “Boats and Brunch,” and a host of other exciting activities.
While the moniker and structure of the organization has changed, the new management team at ECMC assures customers and staff that its core values remain the same.
“As a locally owned and operated company, we will always stay true to our full-service principles that are deeply rooted in southern hospitality,” said Doscher. “Our customers and members should expect to be treated with the highest level of professionalism and with the personal touch befitting dear friends. Our goal is to deliver an exceptional high level of service while balancing casual comfort and class in order to truly elevate the Gulf Coast yacht club and boating experience.”
In the coming weeks, changes to the ECMC brand will be more evident across all platforms as the merger transition concludes. In the meantime, please visit www.emeraldcoastmarinecenter.com for more information or call (850) 389-8318.

Multi-Million Dollar Resort-Style Yacht Club and Marina Completes Phase One
| March 18, 2008
North Light Yacht Club in Niceville, Fla. unveiled its custom-built information center, marking the completion of Phase One of the multi-million dollar luxury yacht club, marina and dry storage facility. North Light Yacht Club is located on 734 feet of waterfront along Choctawhatchee Bay in the heart of northwest Florida.
North Light Yacht Club was created to provide an all-inclusive boating experience to boaters and their families on the Gulf Coast. Amenities and services will include a full-service restaurant with al fresco dining, an outdoor pool and spa, fitness center, concierge services and organized activities and events for adults and children. Among the club’s unique features will be the ability of its members to own an individual dry slip in the North Light Boathouse, an on-site 280-slip dry storage condominium facility built to withstand 130 mph winds. Slips ranging from 30-40 feet can be purchased or leased with an option to purchase through one of North Light’s sales programs through Aquatic Resort Properties and Cabela’s Trophy Properties, LLC.
The marina will be operated by Coastal Marina Management, affiliated with Galati Yachts, and will offer wholesale fuel, launching services and wet slips for members. The club plans to partner with several reputable boat brokers for members who wish to purchase a boat.
Phase Two, slated for completion in early 2009, will include construction of the state-of-the-art marina, dry storage facility, pool and pool deck and The Bridge—a 4,200 square-foot, two-story clubhouse featuring a bar and grill, restrooms and showers and The Fleet Room, available for social gatherings and meetings.
Phase Three includes the construction and grand opening of the 12,000 square-foot clubhouse and will commence once Phase Two is complete.

The new partnership creates a comprehensive boat sales, service, rental, marina and yacht club experience for boaters throughout the Florida Panhandle. This collaboration was made to position ECMC to deliver an elevated, seamless boating experience for customers through the combined efficiencies, strengths, talents and resources of both companies. “Our goal is to provide our clients with the most personalized, responsive and enjoyable boating experience possible, both oceanside and dockside,” said Talpey, who founded Emerald Coast Marine with Doscher in 2015.  Talpey and Doscher previously worked together for several years in senior management roles at Legendary Marine where they helped lead their former employer to become the Boating Industry Top 100 Dealer of the Year for two consecutive years, placing the company in the Top 100 Hall of Fame. Emerald Coast Marine leased space at North Light Yacht Center in the spring of 2016 to accommodate its new boat sales and service dealership. Conversations ensued the following winter to discuss the long-term benefits and opportunities of creating a joint partnership with North Light Yacht Club. With a shared vision for creating a unique, all-inclusive boating experience to benefit boaters in their market, the principals from both companies discussed and analyzed strategic merger option, with a favorable outcome. “NLYC was originally established as a dry storage and wet slip marina in 2008. While it excelled in marina operations and customer service, the company’s growth was limited by the lack of an on-site sales and service marine dealership,” said Orbin. “We knew our business would thrive and our clients would benefit from the additional products, services and club enhancements that an on-site marine dealership and more staff capacity could offer. We believe this new partnership with retail expert Emerald Coast Marine is a great decision for our business and especially for all of the customers we collectively serve.” The next few months will directly reflect the new vision and major enhancements for the facility. Plans include the recent acquisition of an adjacent property that will be utilized to expand the sales facility by building a new, indoor showroom with additional customer parking.

The current ship’s store will be consolidated, providing expanded space for a new Yacht Club lounge. The pool and spa area will also receive a major renovation to provide more privacy with poolside cabanas, along with the addition of a tiki bar, the latter of which will be facilitated by onsite waterfront bistro vendor, FUEL. In addition, plans call for the launch of Emerald Coast Water Sports this spring, featuring a rental/boat club to provide an affordable alternative to boat ownership.
