Marina Review for Port Dalhousie Pier Marina-PRIVATE

Nice place to stay for staging prior to transiting the Welland Canal. It's only about 3 miles away. We were confined to our boat due to Covid regs and so didn't get to see much but staff was friendly to deal with. Had to go next door to the Dalhousie Yacht Club for fuel and pump out but it's right around the corner so it's pretty easy!

The lake was rough so the marina, which is right at the mouth, was a little bouncy but we were just happy to have a spot to tie up for the night. Maddy was a delight! We loved Alex's restaurant which is right next door.

Too tired to explore the area but this was a nice stop. Very quiet with nice shower/heads, laundry, diesel and pump out. Super little fast food/icecream shop on campus. We would stay here again!

This is a BRAND new marina in a lovely setting. The floating docks are well appointed. It is an EXCELLENT place to stay if all you need is a dock and power. I think you could get wi-fi if you ask up front but we came in on a Sunday and no one was there to give it to us and they didn't answer the phone. There are no other amenities like shower/heads etc but there's a nice restaurant and some cool eateries close by as well. John Riccitello's is great food and local color, 2nd generation owned and operated and John calls everyone who comes in by their names!

We didn't stay here because it wasn't time to stop yet but I definitely would in the future! BRAND new docks along the city wall with great electric and diesel. Super barbeque restaurant at the top of the ramp. Very pleasant folks who work here. If you don't stay the night, it's a great place to fuel up before you start the Erie or continue up to Lake Champlain.

This is a great place to duck in and get fuel. Accommodations were a little spotty - no heads/showers but the Crab Night more than made up for it. VERY nice live music that you could still hold a conversation over and great food! We would come again!

Nice marina with a salt water pool. None of the power poles worked near our slip but they sent someone pretty quickly to fix it for us. Water taxi across to downtown Hampton would be nice but we are delivering a boat which means it's all work and no play this time! We'll be back.

This marina has efficiency and customer service down to an artform! They catch lines, fill you up and have the best food around. They also have a nice gift shop and the staff even went to find me a tiny screwdriver to fix my glasses which I would have been worthless without (and we have a long trip ahead of us as we are delivering this boat to Erie PA from Tampa!). We ALWAYS try to stay here!

This is a great destination and provides easy in and out if you are running outside. Fuel and pump out are easy and dock hands are very helpful. The showers and heads are a hike but floating docks are nice. BEWARE if your boat is older than 2005, we are delivering a 98 and because of their new GFCI breakers, we have to run our generator overnight which did not make us popular with our neighbors. No one cared to remedy this situation and at the price, we think this inexcusable.

This is a great marina in a fantastic location! The staff is polite, friendly and helpful and the surrounding shops and restaurants make this lots of fun. The showers and heads are a hike from most of the docks. BEWARE if you have a boat older than 05, you may not have power because of the up-to-code GFCI breakers. We are delivering a 98 and blew their breakers repeatedly so we had to run the generator overnight, which did not make us popular with our neighbors. Staff didn't seem to be interested in providing a solution for this problem.

Ron was great to work with, guiding us to a slip and sharing tips about local to-do's. Showers/heads are close and clean. If you stay here, make it a point to Uber to The Garlic Restaurant. It is a destination in itself!

Samantha was AWESOME to work with! She was very helpful over the phone as we were arriving late. Amenities are nice though showers/heads are a bit of a walk. Great restaurant!
