Our Story

Cynthia Johnson's passion for water sports started young.

Her father Charles Johnson skied for Cypress Gardens, instilling a love for water activities.

A couple of decades ago, Cynthia and her brother saw an opportunity to refurbish an existing inland marina.

They left the corporate world to pursue their passion.

Through years of hard work and commitment to customer service, that vision became Lake Fairview Marina.
