The Story Behind Buck’s Island Marina
It all started with Quinten Edward Lumpkin’s vision. He believed in family, community, the Golden Rule, and the American dream. He only had $21 to his name when “Buck,” as he’d been called since childhood, came home from the Navy in 1948. When he didn’t find a job in his hometown of Gadsden, he figured he’d just open his own business. He found a storefront in downtown Gadsden that he could rent for $12.75 a month. With that and a loan co-sign by his brother, he opened an engine repair and sales shop that evolved into Buck’s Boats.
After a 17-year career with Mercury Motors, Buck’s son, Tony, bought the business in 1989 and renamed it Buck’s Island Marina.
It was Buck’s dream from the time he purchased the land that one day he would move the boat business to build homes on the water’s edge. The lighthouse that identifies the development is a tribute to Buck. As they were building the new housing on the property, they began building their new boat showroom and service center in a new location on Highway 77.
Our Legacy
Three generations of the family are involved in the business. Mary, Tony’s wife of 32 years, runs the day-to-day operations. Their daughter Katie is in the sales department, while another daughter, Angela, runs the service department with her master technician husband, Israel. What Buck started with his $150 investment has fueled a deeply rooted passion for giving back to the community. Buck’s Island Marina sponsors Fish Fest, a day of fishing and seminars, and sponsors more than 40 high school fishing teams. “They’re our future,” Mary underscores.
