Hey Table Rock Lake family! We're Matt and Tammy Zachary, and we just took ownership of Big M Marina — and we could not be more excited.
We may be new to Big M, but we are NOT new to this lake or this community. Many of you already know us. We own and operate Starkey Marina Marina on Beaver Lake in Arkansas, just a short drive south, and we have been part of the Branson restaurant scene for years. We know what it means to serve a community well, and we know what a great marina and a great dining experience should feel like. We're bringing all of that — and then some — right here to Big M.
And when we say family-owned, we mean it literally. We have seven wonderful adult children — six of whom work alongside us in our businesses every day — and five grandchildren who keep us reminded of exactly why places like this matter. We are a lake family, through and through, and Big M Marina is now part of our family story.
First things first: we are NOT absentee owners. We are here. In person. Boots on the ground. You'll see our faces, know our names, and always have a direct line to us. That's a promise.
We know Big M has had a rough go of it lately, and we know trust has to be rebuilt. We're ready for that challenge — and we're starting in a big way.
This fall, we're constructing a brand new ship store and a brand new restaurant right here on site, open and ready for you by next season. 🎉
But more than anything, we just want to show up for this community every single day. Listen to what you need. Fix what's broken. And make Big M the marina that Table Rock Lake deserves.
Come find us. We'd love to meet you. 🌊
— Matt & Tammy Zachary
