At Dad Bod Summer, we’re proud to announce the newest addition to our growing network of legacy fishing and boating domains: ApostleIslandsMarina.com.
For decades, Apostle Islands Marina has been a cornerstone of Lake Superior life, offering seasonal and transient dockage, a full-service department, boat supplies, and a curated selection of nautical gifts and clothing. Located in downtown Bayfield, Wisconsin, this marina has provided visitors and locals with a unique experience surrounded by the natural beauty of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.
From your slip at the marina, you can watch the Madeline Island Ferry cross the bay, see the local fishing fleet return with their daily catch, and enjoy sweeping views of Madeline Island and Grant’s Point. Steps away, you’ll find local restaurants, shops, and even a candy store. Families can spend an afternoon at the adjacent East Dock Park, perfect for picnics, playground fun, or fishing on the dock with a view. For generations, Apostle Islands Marina has been more than just a harbor, it’s been a community hub, a starting point for adventures, and a sanctuary for those who love the water.
At DadBodSummer.com, we know first-hand the mental health benefits that fishing, boating, and time on the water can bring. As a Men’s Mental Health Brand, our mission goes far beyond apparel, we’re here to spark conversations, promote awareness, and remind men everywhere that it’s okay to slow down and take care of yourself. Fishing has long been one of the most therapeutic pastimes: it reduces stress, builds patience, and creates space for reflection. Whether it’s the calm rhythm of casting a line, the camaraderie of a day on the boat, or the quiet joy of watching the water ripple at sunset, fishing and boating offer a natural form of therapy.
Through our Fishing Catch Of The Day Collections, we design shirts and gear that celebrate this lifestyle while donating 5% of proceeds to Mental Health Awareness charities. By acquiring ApostleIslandsMarina.com, we’re not just preserving the legacy of a historic marina, we’re also strengthening the connection between outdoor traditions and mental well-being. Just like the docks of Bayfield connect to the open waters of Lake Superior, Dad Bod Summer connects men everywhere to a greater conversation about health, balance, and living fully.
This is more than a new chapter, it’s a continuation of a story that blends fishing, community, and mental health together. We’re honored to carry the Apostle Islands Marina name forward as part of the Dad Bod Summer mission.
