We enjoyed the Golden Nugget Marina because it was a unique stop on our voyage southbound. The Mexican restaurant inside was very good and so were the well margaritas at the bar! We had requested dock assistance and they never showed up. Also, they gave us a slip two doors away from a real problem child. He blasted music until midnight, again blasted it at 0600, and did not care about those around him. His dock slip is H42. They say he’s a squatter and have been dealing with him for some time. Question is, why on earth would you put paying customers anywhere near this man child? We did not feel safe with this guy two doors away and we had to pass his slip to get to the casino. The stench of pot smoke emanating from his ratchet boat was nonstop. Don’t let them put you on H dock until you verify H42 is no longer there.

The marina itself is very nice with wide fairways and slips. We let them know we were arriving and two dockhands were waiting for us. There is 50 amp power and water at the slip. Unfortunately both the marina restroom/showers and the public restroom on the first floor of the restaurant were filthy .

For one zero dock hands. I never saw anyone from the marina. Probably could have just grabbed a slip. The docks could use some work. Lots of loose board and screws sticking up. Electric and water hook ups were all good.

9/2/2024 - All I can say is that it's cheap. The dock staff was helpful with docking; that's the highlight. Docks were filthy with bird droppings. Bathrooms were also not clean. The patio restaurant was closed, and the casino was smelly and overpriced. Good for a night, but plan to stay on your boat. We need someone to try and "Make Atlantic City Great Again."
6/29/2023 -I look at this stop as a necessary evil. The marina is okay. Staff is very friendly at the dock, but not so much at the front desk. Facilities are basic and fairly clean, but a hike from the transient docks.
Food options are horrible. Expensive, or you have to brave the Casino, which just plain REEKS of stale cigarette smoke. I could not stand it and had to go back outside!
It's easy in and out for the NJ crossing, dock and stay on your boat!

This marina is only good for a transient overnight. The docks are dirty and the 50 amp power on the dock is inadequate. We actually had to run our gen because our reading off the dock was so low.

One night is generally not enough to fully judge a marina. The marina while functional could use some updating. The floating docks are worn and lean to one side. Power and water units worked well. The major downside for us was the dockside resturant had a band playing to 10:00 PM. And they were way too loud and not very good. Not just our opinion, several other boater said the same. But its a good stopping point if you are heading south from NYC or going north from Cape May. Price was very reasonable given the northeast.

Great spot, only docked for the evening and stayed at the hotel so do not have any feedback on amenities. Docking and communication was easy.

I had given up ever expecting GN/FSM ever improving. Dirty, broken, and disinterested used to describe this place. NOT ANY MORE! Wow, the last time I was here in 2020, I vowed never again and had been anchoring out off the CG base. Last night, anxious about dire weather predictions, I bit the bullet and requested a slip. First, they answered quickly! Surpise #1. Then they posted a phone number to call that actually worked! Finally, a dock hand showed up to help. Our stay at GN far exceeded our admittedly low expectations; nevertheless, we did an impromptu inspection of the Marina and are thrilled about the improvement. We'll be back!

There have been improvements in the Staffing and level of service since our last visit to this Marina. We will make plans to make this one of our stops moving forward.

The whole transition from booking to leaving the Dock was a very good experience. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating.

I Love the Marina. But disappointed in the condition of the shower/bathrooms. One facility completely closed since beginning of the season and the other working facility was filthy dirty… not kept clean like previous stays there! I will go back hoping all the showers/bathrooms are in better condition than this season!

Floating dock was good and deckhands were extremely helpful but almost everything else was… not so good. Bathrooms were unsecured and extremely dirty. Security in general was not good. Gate to Marina was easily breach-able and often left open. Pool was overly crowded and largely unmaintained. Sadly, so much potential but maybe it’s just AC in general.

It's a fun place to stop.

The marina was old with plants growing out of the deck boards, cleats were loose and rubber railings were coating with black items that stainsed the boat sides.

We had a great stay at Golden Nugget Farley State Marina. The marina was clean, well-run, and easy to access. The staff was helpful and professional, and everything went smoothly from arrival to departure. Great location, great atmosphere, and a perfect spot for our Atlantic City boat trip. We had a great time and would definitely come back.

Love Farley Marina. Dockmaster Austin S and his dock staff are always so helpful and ready for you when you pull in. We also love the Deck and the Entertainment!!! We'll be back in a few weeks 😄

always a good stay... will say the docks and the restrooms could use some remodel, other than that always have a great time here.

Marina is fantastic, very protected. I would definitely recommend

One of my favorite places to come by boat. Nice slips, love the bands on the deck and pool club. Slips are decent and easy to get in and out of, just wish they’d maintain the marina a little better

I did not stay here - a big storm prevented me from getting there safely so I stayed in Cape May. Asked for a weather refund but was denied/ghosted/ignored. Thank you,

They have not done anything to the marina for years. The docks are run down and the bathrooms are old and need remodeling. The weekend we were there the marina bathroom next to state police backed up and the did not close it down letting people walk into that mess. It could be so much nicer if they cared and took better care of the marina.
