    $2/ft Mostly season slips, transients are on the tee-heads which are a little exposed to boat wakes. Very nice tile new and clean showers. Good WiFi. Harbor Springs is very upscale, not a lot there but upscale shops and such.

    This company combines the best of two worlds - a high quality, experienced boat yard and a customer oriented marina staff. I have stored my 45 foot power boat in their heated building for the past two winters, so I have become familiar with their capabilities.

    Sailboats come from around the region for service here. This facility is the premier sail rigging and repair shop for hundreds of miles around. Their engine shop is also first class - the work they did for me was excellent and reasonably priced. They also did some fiberglass work at a cost less than heir initial estimate - and the work was flawless.

    They are building new bathrooms, laundry, and captains' lounge, even though their existing facilities are just fine. Some of the new building will be ready next summer.

    Harbor Springs is a fun community in which to spend a couple of days. The marina has free loaner bikes, and they will take you to the grocery store or Ace hardware store in their cars.

    You can't go wrong stopping here.
