Great staff. We were able to get boat parts from town, got our laundry done, fresh water fill up, and mostly… able to relax. Nice, clean showers and restrooms along with reliable WiFi. Highly recommended stay for those who want to get off the beaten path and remain close to town.

Fantastic marina, owner, and crew! From confirmation to departure everyone was helpful, attentive, and engaging. The restrooms were clean and easily accessible. The free laundry was an appreciated perk although we didn’t have a need to use it this time. Quiet and relaxing… just what we needed. Thank you Seth and John for being exceptional hosts. We look forward to our next visit!

Very nice Marina. Seth went above and beyond to help us with docking and made sure we were comfortable. It was a very peaceful and protected environment. And it was a short walk to Gene’s Oyster Bar which was an added bonus!

Seth is a very nice guy and will try to accommodate you in any way he can. Had a live aboard meet us at the dock to help with lines (he had to be away for other business)
Docks were ok, didn’t see facilities, only there for 1 night.
Nothing really close by.

The dock manager and owner are very responsive to answering my questions and to helping get me into the slip. Johnny lives at the marina and not only was he helpful when we came in late to the slip but also offered to drive us to get breakfast and provisions the next morning . Thanks brother!
The marina has clean restrooms with showers. It seems to be in a well protected location.

Pulled in after regular hours and was greater by really nice dockhand who helped to make sure all was good. He even texted football game scores. Will definitely go back there

Very nice and secluded marina. Staff was very helpful.
by JOHN C. - Verified user on Feb 09, 2024
From contacting Seth (we called, he texted he'd call soon and did), approach, amenities, to departure, the stay was seamless and wonderful. We have a 38 ft catamaran and found that finding a marina that accepted sailboats, much less catamarans, are rare. This was not the issue here.
All the other positive reviews about Seth are true! AND THEY HAVE FREE LAUNDRY!

We were met by the marina manager, Seth, who was super nice and accommodating. The marina is quiet in a nice protected area. Laundry is free. Facilities are clean. Would definitely stay here again.
