We had a superb stay at the marina, and had work done in the yard. The service Manager Steve Dee was fantastic, and Kristin Peterson the marina manager is one of the best we have ever worked with. We look forward to another visit, but hopefully with no repairs needed.

Another delightful visit to Great Island. Dock hands professionally tied us up at the fuel dock and then in our slip. The marina is well maintained and updated. Office staff were very welcoming too. Also, there’s a good restaurant on site that’s reasonably priced. Thank you for a great stay.
2022. Well maintained facility. Helpful staff. A very pleasant experience here. We hope to return in 2023. Many thanks.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to your next visit.by Keith J. - Verified user on Aug 31, 2024
Very protected picturesque marina with high end amenities. We had an engine issue on the way to the marina. The marina had a technician on the boat first thing in the am despite it being the friday of a long weekend so that we were able to continue our cruise that afternoon. Highly recommend a visit to Great Island!

I almost don't want to say too many great things about Safe Harbor Great Island because I'd be more than happy to keep it a secret !!! Love to have it stay as she is...beautiful, quiet, peaceful, professional...tucked away in a quintessential Maine surround !!! ...so this marine is a perfect stopover or destination if one is requiring such and more than that it offers the FINEST service or refits at a FAIR price in a spectacular setting with the bonus of AWESOME people who really do care a lot about you and your boating experience...if you stop over once or ask them to service your vessel, you'll be back for sure ! thanks for all the great everything SHGI !!!
Marina Response:

Great facility, wonderful crew. Iris Eats is a fine!!! Only wish they had longer hours!
Marina Response:
Joy. Thank you for your feedback. We look forward to your next visit. Iris Eats is growing and always looking for ways to expand their hours. Something new this season will be The Market. The Market will offer essential provisions, grab-and-go meals, beer/wine, flowers, etc. This will be operated by the Iris team. They hope to offer this expanded service 7 days a week and later into the evening. The Market will be located under Iris Eats, on the lower level. Let us know what you think.by John F. - Verified user on Sep 04, 2023

We arrived under tow - impeller issue. At 8 the next morning a tech was on board. He efficiently and professionally fixed the impeller and a couple of other problems. The staff is professional and the facility is impeccably clean and tidy. It’s a 10 out of 10.

Beautiful location. Marina Manager Kristin and staff are responsive, attentive and accommodating. The same goes for the service side. They do what they say, and follow up to ensure things were done correctly. The facility is clean, the docks are in excellent shape, and the staff terrific. Clearly a well run marina and service operation. Looking forward to returning.
