Barrier Island Marine celebrates company growth, community involvement, and a new brand.
Charleston, S.C., January 29, 2008 --- Barrier Island Marine has steadily become a force to reckon with in the Charleston boating market over the last two years. In 2007 the company doubled its revenue; doubled the number of boats sold; and doubled revenue for parts, accessories and service. Barrier Island Marine is sharing that growth with others by supporting Water Missions International.
"Barrier Island Marine is in the water-for-fun business. Water Missions International is in the water-for-life business," says Scott Chapman with Barrier Island Marine. "We're very excited to partner with Water Missions to help bring safe drinking water to those in need around the world."
Water Missions International (WMI) is a Christian, nonprofit organization headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina whose mission is to provide sustainable access to safe water and the "Living Water" message to people in developing countries and disaster areas. To date, WMI has deployed a total of 526 water systems in 33 countries and two U.S. states, making safe water available to more than one million people.
Barrier Island Marine is the $20,000 presenting sponsor for WMI's annual fundraiser, the Water for Life Gala, on Thursday, March 6, 2008. The gala celebrates World Water Day, and is part of Water for Life, a series of events in March serve to educate and move people to take action against the critical lack of clean, safe drinking water around the world.

Barrier Island Marine also recently completed a company rebranding and launched a new Web. "Our motto is 'pursue your passion,' and our goal is to provide boats that people aspire to own and back them with the highest level of service and support," explains Chapman. "We think our new brand identity reflects those aspirations."
