Excellent. Handy easy to get into. Had to change reservation since lock was broken, they were very accommodating

Dockage waters quiet. Had to get creative with dockage lines, as port and starboard had midship pilings and no finger dockage. Dock parallels shoreline and had cleats, shorepower and water. Adjacent to park and library, Baptist church 1 block away, library parking lot had portapotty. Water level rose about 2 feet. We backed stearn in, climbed onto dinghy and exited off onto well maintained wide dock. Maybe 7 slips. Our 14ft beam fit nicely into slip 4 (counting to east). Guessing at number as we dont see any identification for slips. Pilings have nice rubber wrap to protect vessels as they ease into slip slowly, and dock has bumpers on edge and suppor5 pilings. Just remember to dock accordingly so stearn platforms won't get wedged under dock with water level fluctuations.

Great little dock, only 7, but power and water.if we had energy it apparently was a short walk to restaurants and shoppers. Only downer was bridge noise.

Great docks, water and electricity at very affordable rates

While there are no docks to slip into, there are padded pilings (about midship) to guide you in and to tie onto. There is a nice dock that lines the shore from which to get off your boat. We sterned to with the help of an onshore boater. 50 amp power. The water is drinkable, but not the best tasting. The marina is next to a busy highway, so the noise is constant. However, the nearby library and park area made up for the noise.

Very affordable. Great to have electric hook up. Wonderful little town. Terrific restaurant 2 blocks in called ‘Forrey Grill’. Lasagna and salad bar was just what we needed. Wish we could have stayed another night but needed to make headway before weather rolled in.

Many have already noted the noise from the nearby bridge, so if you're making reservations here, you should expect that. It's not that bad really, but we only stayed here one night. The town is within easy walking distance and offers several eating choices, as well as a nicely stocked Dollar General store. The local pizza joints will even deliver to the marina, although I had to wait in the library parking lot across the street because there is no address listing for the marina. Some boats may not be able to access the dock easily. You need a swim platform that's not too low, or a walk through bow pulpit that's not too high. Wish the city posted the height of the dock above the water to give you an idea what to expect. Tying up isn't that difficult, especially if you have cleats on either side of the posts. That way, you can make a spring line on each side of the boat, and keep it centered between the posts. The price is definitely right for what you get.

Easy to navigate. And woke up to a downtown waterfront festival. How could this get any better!!!
Wish there were rope holders on the poles.

Everything we needed.

Not bad. You need to be on your game to dock. I pulled in bow forward. That made a step up to the dock of about
3” from the bow pulpit The stern would have been much lower. A couple spring lines mid- ship and two on the bow to keep it straight. I run solo… if I had a first mate would have been easy. Clean , safe, the bridge is noisy but doable.

Was a good hideaway from Hurricane Milton. Power at dock and safe.
Labelle is a great little town. You can walk to most anything. Will be back.

LaBelle City dock is always a great place to stop. We use as a place to clean the boat after summer storage. Good water and power. It does seem there has been very little maintenance on the dock as the rubber rail on the dock is falling off and one off the post has no rubber on one side. You can walk to a good restaurant and to post office or Family Dollar grocery store. Would like to be able to stay more than 3 days.

Our trip to Labelle was to get away from the Hurricane surge on the coast. A perfect spot with amenities close by. As stated by others, the city dock would be improved by adding pilings further out for larger boats. A phone number that actually gets to the dock master would also be an improvement (currently the phone number listed on Dockwa gets to the Labelle water dept and they do not forward calls.)

Not well kept and they Said that my boat would fit but there was no way it would. There was vegetation in the slips.

Love this little place. Fore & aft springs hold you nicely. Forrey Grill is excellent: food & price. Peanut butter pie! Ace hardware just a mile hike. Very nice library on your bow. Second stop. 2017 & ‘24. 14’ beam fits slip 2. Rightmost slip being No.1. No. 3 slip is 18’ wide. Very little motion as you are at the bridge approach- no wake. We went now in on our’84 Mainship double cabin 40. 45 loa, 14 beam, 3.5’ draft

Need a garbage can on the property. Uber rides were not avaliable making travel for dinner difficult. Power worked well

Simple and easy walk into town
by Anthony K. - Verified user on Apr 23, 2024
No trash available, no wifi, and water from tap is yellowish.
Convenient, but okay

This dock is a required stop on our way through. Like the town, enjoy the restaurants and glad for the easy access to stores.
by Donna G. - Verified user on Apr 21, 2024
Great for the price but very basic dock with power and water. Our assigned slip was already taken so we took the next one over and notified the city via dockwa which they appreciated. Dont expect anyone to answer VHF, just be ready with your lines. No fingers but piles aft and cleats on the dock. Short walk into down
by Todd A. - Verified user on Apr 15, 2024
Awesome stay. Ace hardware close by for some tools and log cabin restaurant for a great dinner.
Only suggestion would be two more pylons further out on the middle dock.
Any boat needing a 20 foot width dock could be a little more secure.
Thank you City of Labelle!

Great for a quick overnight stay, quiet (although it is directly next to a bridge, the noise did not bother us. Nice park area nearby with food truck 👍
