    Mike the dockmaster is amazing!!!! The facility is right next to the town, I feel it puts you closer to everything more so than the municipal marina. The captains lounge and the single shower/bathroom facilities are amazing!!! Pay for the washer….minimal… and dryer is free!!! Can't say enough about the marina and facilities!!! Contact Mike and all will be ok!!!! Well protected marina!!!!

    This facility has recently changed hands and is now part of the adjoining and well-established Harbor Lights Resort. The new owners are investing heavily and have installed all new docks for the 2023 season. Docks are fixed height (not floating). We found the dockmaster helpful and accommodating. There is an indoor swimming pool and hot tub available as part of the resort. There were several coin-op but reasonably priced washers. Dryers were free. Good restaurant scene within walking distance. No fuel dock, but fuel is available at either of the two adjoining marinas. Typically all slips are leased seasonally but transient dockage is available during shoulder seasons and occasionally at other times.
