Marina and staff were top notch. We arrived with Miami Living 305 on a weekend fling. Staff was there to help tie up. When visiting the Bahamas you will hear boaters say bring a lot of supplies. Well I can tell you they have ice,fuel,food and locals they will provide fresh seafood and bread. Rooms were great as well. Not a bad thing to say. Lots of sharks in the marina but did not stop anyone from underwater services. Beautiful sunsets and beaches. 10 of 10!! Ask for Tommy Folley as a guide for fishing local knowledge fishing. Tommy showed us best fishing day ever. Safe area lots to do. Conch salad everywhere , Fresh stone crabs at the fuel dock from locals and same for lobster. Marina gets 5 star. We will be back soon. 74 miles from Lauderdale. Easy run.

Lovely marina. Fuel, no pumpout. Staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. Dock hand very efficient. Restaurant was very good. Tiki bar served early specials. Bar tenders were great. Very nice pool. Ok, for the downside. For a marina with no pump-out and that charges a $2.99/ft, and for electric, water and a resort fee,it would be nice to have a toilet seat in the men's room and toilet paper!

Super easy check in process and marina staff was very helpful and nice. The resort and grounds are pretty but not meticulously maintained. For us we were pleasantly surprised after reading some of the reviews. The pool is nice, beach on property with a tiki bar and the food at the restaurant was very good. Overall I would recommend this marina and we will come back.

This marina has a good restaurant, tiki bar and pool. The beach is beautiful and the customs office on site is very convenient. The fixed wooden docks are serviceable but deteriorating. The bathrooms/showers are extremely rundown. There is no hot water so plan on showering on your boat.

Nice marina, helpful staff, quick clearing customs and immigration. Use Click2Clear and pay online, makes it much easier. Took a slip but declined electric, a bit pricey. Stayed two days and took bikes into town. Quite good grocery store at Express Mart, reasonable prices. Good beach bar.

This is a decent marina in a great location. The marina is located in a little resort with a beautiful beach with a great straw hut restaurant/bar right on the beach. There is also a very good restaurant on site. It is an easy place to clear in/out with customs right on site as well.

On the down side, the bathrooms are in terrible condition and they charge either $10 or $15/day for water, which quite a lot for most cruisers. This makes the effective dockage cost a bit on the expensive side.

Very nice well maintained marina. Empty because of covid. Marina itself very well protected from winds. The pilings are bare wood so be sure to have your fenders handy when tying up. Very nice beach area next to marina. We tried anchoring off the jetty first but the tidal current was substantial and I knew I would not be happy sleeping there. Hence the move to the marina while we wait for favorable gulf stream crossing weather. Lol. The marina is open despite covid although at reduced staff. The wifi is useless with almost no throughput even when connected. This was similar at GBYC in Freeport. BTC service works, however. T-Mobile for phone calls works although data throughput is very very slow.

It’s currently 25 after nine in the morning, and the staff who is supposed to be here at 8 o’clock have still not arrived. I will now have to cancel my days travel because I will not be able to arrive at my destinations in the daytime.

Clearing customs at West End. Waited on weather here for a week to continue on to Abaco. Friendly staff, good docks and incredibly beautiful grounds and pool. Only complaint is they charge by the foot for electricity.
