    Great find! We were looking for a place to wait for Calcasieu Lock to open. Owner Doug was super helpful, allowing us to squeeze in during Memorial Weekend. Fuel, ice, shower, on site and groceries just a half mile away. Beautiful location, too.

    Great little marina which is locally owned. Grounds are well maintained and the store has the essentials. Non ethanol gas available. Diesel was $2.56. Transit slips available but call ahead. We will return. Coast Guard utilizes part of the facility.

    Arrived on Friday after Thanksgiving for a fuel stop and overnight dock. Called ahead to be sure they were open. Owner (Doug) waited two hours for us. Great place and excellent prices. Would definitely stop here again. If your doing the GIWW it’s worth the side trip.
