In 1945, James Kidd created Arey’s Pond Boat Yard.  He and his family operated the boat yard for more 

than twenty  years until  Brad and Elizabeth  Fisk purchased it in 1969.  The Fisks built the first Arey’s Pond 

Catboat,  and also made Arey’s Pond Boat Yard into a leading dealer for the O’Day line of sailboats in the 

1970’ and 1980’s.  In  September 1990, the yard was purchased by  Tony and Robin  Davis, becoming only 

the third owners in 45 years of the boat yard’s existence.

Throughout  the  history of  Arey’s Pond Boat  Yard,  it has maintained  its legacy as  a traditional  sailing 

center  of Cape Cod.   Under the management and leadership of the Davises, the tradition has continued, 

and has expanded to  include a concern  for  the  environment through  planning and  conservation efforts.  

Additionally,  sailing enthusiasm  is encouraged, in  private and group lessons through Arey’s Pond  Boat 

Yard Sailing School .
