They were very friendly and help with fueling and tie up at dock. Delivered wonderful hot cinnamon rolls to our boat in the morning even though it was Thanksgiving Day! I would highly recommend this marina.

Beautiful Marina. Bob, the owner was extremely helpful with getting us to our dock and assisting us tying up. He met is in the morning with fresh cinnamon rolls, which was a great treat this morning.

Nice, well maintained docks. Friendly Billy happy to help and answer questions.
Courtesy car. Campground bathrooms are lovely. $2 coin laundry. Amazing price on diesel fuel w/discounts. STAY INSIDE CHANNEL MARKERS or you will find 2 ft shoals. Large river red and green bouys then continue upstream until smaller red and green channel bouys. Entrance begins between the small ones. DO NOT SHORTCUT. Sad to say... perhaps off season with restaurant closed for season, but no homebaked cinnamon rolls this morning.
Marina Response:
Amy, thanks for the review. The cinnamon buns were ready for all customers at 8:15 AM this morning. We understand that some customers needed to depart early. We never miss a day making the buns. They are typically ready for delivery or pickup by 8:30 AM. For Loopers, this may be a mid-day snack. :). Thanks for the positive review.by Douglas B. - Verified user on Nov 03, 2024
Lovely peaceful setting this time of year. Well marked channel in to the marina and an exceptional, friendly harbor master. Billy was great!

We had a wonderful stay. Had to get some boat parts so the courtesy vehicle was invaluable. Billy was great, was on dock to help us fuel and pumpout. And then also to deliver those famous cinnamon buns each morning. The whole marina is very neat and tidy and well kept! We rode our bikes to Johnsonville Historic State Park which was very interesting and worth seeing.

Staff was very friendly & helpful. Loved the courtesy car!

Great location, great docks and exceptional staff. We were coming in a bit late and they waited so we could get fuel (did I mention the fuel prices are the some of the lowest in the area). Staff hung around helped with fuel/docking and did not make us feel the least bit uncomfortable. Afterward we had a drink on the dock with one of the owners (I apologize as I didn't get his name) who was very pleasant and accommodating and if you can believe it delivered freshly made cinnamon buns the next day. Over all a great place to stop, recharge, refuel and get ready for the next day!!

Amazing owners and staff….Billy is a man to meet !!!!!
Loaner car, laundry and showers. The cinnamon rolls are amazing and they deliver them to your door!!!!! This is a great stop. Follow the channel markers !!!!!

The marina is in a gorgeous location and is one of the most protected we have experienced. The Johnsonville State Historic Park is right there and worthy of some good hiking. The visitors center has a Civil War Museum that is worth a visit. Although we did not use the courtesy car, fellow boaters did. Loved the fresh, warm cinnamon rolls delivered to the boat in the morning by one of the marina owners. Great stop!

Nice facility. Good diesel price. A bit shallow for our 4 ft. Draft, but managed. Sticky buns in the morning is a nice touch! Thanks Billy!

Great place to stay! Loved the courtesy car. The cinnamon buns are a nice treat in the morning .
by Mike L. - Verified user on Oct 15, 2024
Great staff! And those cinnamon buns!!! The facility was very well maintained. The bath house was a little bit of a hike. The proximity to the state historic site made for a nice walk and some good history.
by Ken B. - Verified user on Oct 12, 2024
Nice marina! Good water pressure, no voltage drop on the 50 amp service, nice docks and very friendly staff. The approach was very well marked. Excellent cinnamon bun in the morning! Would definitely stay again.

A boater's guide to Pebble Isle Marina
Located in the tranquil Trace Creek off Kentucky Lake, Pebble Isle Marina is a boater’s oasis. Take a break from cruising the Tennessee River and spend your time relaxing dockside with a drink at the Grey-Heron Grill, stocking up on supplies in town, or taking in some history and sights hiking through the neighboring Johnsonville State Historic Park.
Approach and dockage
Pebble Isle Marina is tucked away in a large secluded cove off of the Tennessee River at mile marker 96. The marina channel will be on your port side if you are coming upstream (headed south) and marked with secondary channel markers. The channel winds a bit and takes you close to the northern shore (on your port side), so just be sure to follow the channel markers closely.
The fuel dock and marina office will be towards your port side once you are facing the marina. The transient dock is the long uncovered dock directly to the east (on the other side) of the fuel dock. Transient boats tie up along either side of the dock.
You can reach the dockmaster on VHF Channel 16 or by phone at 931-535-3827. Marina hours are 7 days a week 8-4 pm and often longer in the summer.
Pebble Isle Marina amenities
Bathrooms/Showers
One men’s and one women’s bathrooms open 24/7 on the side of the restaurant, close to the transient docks. Showers and additional bathrooms are located a bit of a hike through the parking lot and shared with the campground. They require a keycode to enter.
Laundry
Coin operated machines (one washer and one dryer) are available in the bathhouse where the showers and restrooms are located. A keycode is needed to enter.
Fuel/Pump-Out
Once you come in or before you take off, head over to the fuel dock to fuel up (gas and diesel) and pump out. Be sure to ask for the Boat US discount on fuel. (If Billy’s helping you out, also ask which of the houseboats used to belong to Dolly Parton’s sister.)
Courtesy Car
Available when you need it in the marina parking lot. Use it to drive the short distance to Johnsonville State Historic Park or the 15 minutes to the Walmart Supercenter in Waverly to stock up.
Pet-Access
The marina has access to spacious grounds to walk your pet on shore.
Morning Cinnamon Buns
If they're available when you’re there, they’re known to have fresh cinnamon buns available in the fall for boaters passing through.
Ship Store
Located on the fuel dock, the ship store has basic items for your cruising needs, from snacks to apparel to basic marine parts/accessories. If they don’t have it, they are happy to order it for you.
Repair Services
They offer mechanical, electrical, and boatyard services on site. If needed, give them a call at 931-535-3827 to discuss your boat needs and what they can offer. TowBoat US also operates out of the marina in case you need help on the water.
Grey-Heron Grill
Pebble Isle’s water-front restaurant, known for their catfish, offers a range of food and drinks in a laid-back, casual atmosphere. They’re only open seasonally (April-September), so if you aren’t able to catch them when you’re there, you’ll need the courtesy car to get to another dining option.
Proximity to attractions by land
Johnsonville State Historic Park (0.6 miles away)
Johnsonville State Historic Park is a 1,000 acre park about a half mile from the marina, full of hiking, river views, and history. It was once the site of the Johnsonville Depot, which moved supplies that came by boat to aid Union soldiers in Tennessee and Georgia. Confederate soldiers attacked the depot in the Battle of Johnsonville in 1864 during the Civil War. The area then became the town of Johnsonville, before the Tennessee Valley Authority dammed the river to create Kentucky Lake in the 1940s. Historic markers dot the grounds helping share the story of what took place years ago. The entrance is about a half mile from Pebble Isle Marina and easily walkable. However, if you want to see the whole park, recommend biking and then picking up one of the several hiking trails by foot. Heads up as there are some steep hills to climb once in the park.
