The community of Point Pleasant, New Jersey, is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Alli Martin, a beloved member of the Boatyard401 family, who has tragically passed away.
Alli was known for her bright spirit, humor, and kindness that lit up every room she entered. She worked at Boatyard401 Restaurant in Point Pleasant Beach, where she quickly became more than just a coworker—she became family to everyone she worked with. Behind the bar or out on the floor, Alli brought laughter, warmth, and a contagious energy that made people feel at home.
In a touching message, Boatyard401 shared:
“It’s with heavy hearts that we share the sudden loss of our beloved Alli.
Alli has been part of our Boatyard401 family since day one—always bringing light to every shift. She wasn’t just a coworker; she was our friend and our family. She’ll be missed on so many levels, it’s hard to put into words.
Our team is devastated and still processing this loss together. Out of respect for Alli, her family and everyone who loved her, Boatyard401 will be closed for the remainder of today.
You’ll always be part of everything we are, Alli.” 🤍
Her father, John Martin, shared a heartfelt tribute that captures the depth of his love and grief:
“My daughter, I will miss you and love you forever.”
