Golden Nugget Farley State Marina

I was disappointed with the number of nails sticking out of the floating dock along the edge where the rub rail is attached. As I pulled my boat over, I got a six in inch scratch on the starboard side of my hull. The docks can use an inspection, and the nails need to be set below rub rail.

Docks are nice and good water pressure. Marina depth is only 7' at low tide. Washers not working. Drier ok. Showers and bathrooms could be improved

Always a great stop with helpful dock staff

Easy in and out. Dock master was ever helpful. Thanks

Power and water were not available at my slip. Had to run power cords 3 slips aways to hook up. Had to borrow cords from slip neighbors to reach.

Great as usual but wish they had cable tv or at least offer it

Nice marina with a large turning basin. Requested a pump out but no one showed up. Showers could use a facelift. Staff friendly.

The website needs to be updated. The docks are showing signs of age. Some of the power pedestals do not work. There is no Wi-fi in the Marina. I tried three times to get a pump out over 2 days, lucky we were not completely full.

Like others have mentioned, the marina has not been maintained. The State of New Jersey should do something. Where is all the money going from the marina fees? There is no wi-fi at all. they should update the Dockwa listing to reflect that. The location is great. Nice eating options at the Golden Nugget. The slip assignment they gave us had a boat in it. So we just pulled into another slip.

Dock staff waited for us to get lines and fenders ready, hook up shore power and overall presentation was great. Clean power and convenient access to sea.

Very clean and courteous.

Great

Great communication, great dock, easy to get in and out

No one appears to monitor ch 65. I hailed them twice upon my approach and no one responded. Finally a third party got involved and they also tried to contact the dock hand. Finally a young man showed up and he was not impressive. Otherwise the marina was pleasant.

Five minute boat ride to both the back bay alehouse and Gilchrist restaurant. Great food good prices

We had a good time listening to the bands and the walking path along the water. We also went to the boardwalk.

The docks have had some minor repairs,(board replacements) completed. There is an appearance of staff shortage bit those we came in contact with were friendly and helpful. The location is second to none attached to the GN and the Deck for entertainment. Of course we will be back.

The dock hands were helpful however, our one night stay was disrupted by blaring music at 2:45 AM for an hour. The source was a neighboring boat on E dock. In general this is a noisy marina that caters to the party crowd.

Slip was available . Amenities were very good.

Easy booking, Great Love the Marina

Great staff and dockhands!!- Amor Fati

What do you expect from a state facility? Thats what you will get! Don't complain about the workers . The pay is not enough to pay rent in a cheap apartment! Think about it.

Fabulous floating docks. Access to the rooftop pool, hot tub, and bar was amazing. Great live band on the deck. Clean facilities. We will be back soon.

Excellent marina. Slip was in good condition, amenities included private bathhouse with showers, electric and water. Harbor master was responsive replying to questions. Our crew really liked the marina.

We arrived on August 13 and originally planned to stay for five nights. We extended for another four nights because the reminisce of Hurricane Debbie was moving through the area. We had little choice. Of all the marinas we have stayed in during our 4,000 miles of boat travel, this was (by far) the most disappointing. We paid a premium price and received third-rate service. Our experience is as follows: a. The WIFI is not usable. We relied on our own hot-spot for internet service. b. We needed to shop for groceries and such, and asked where the dock carts were. We were told there is only 1 standard cart for the entire marina. The boy in the office said people keep stealing them. REALLY! A marina this size with almost 500 slips and only one dock cart. UNBELIEVABLE! c. We requested a pump-out, and did not receive it for 3-1/2 days. Again, the boy in the office offered several lame excuses, but no pump-out for 3-1/2 days. d. A transformer failed one night, and we were without power for 1-1/2 days. We relied on our onboard generator to provide electricity during this time. e. My wife wanted to do a few loads of laundry in the south bath house. When the washers drained, the water backed-up thru the floor drain and all over the floor. It is obvious that the management and maintenance of this marina is pathetic. I would have thought that Tillman Fertitta would have provided a better product for his paying customers. I can think of no reason why we would ever stay here again, and will advise friends and family accordingly.
