    Great help from Caitlyn for docking and assisting with customs check in. Wonderful docks and 240v power for 50 amp service! Lots of nice restaurants nearby. Clean area and very nice boaters in the marina.

    What a lovely spot to rest up in. Good water depths and of course Brian and his crew were fantastic. Pool and bar were wonderful as was the pig roast. Pumpout and fuel were reasonably priced. Best part if you need anything just ask Brian he will move heaven and earth to help out!

    Great clean marina. Good water depth after the entrance. Lovely side tie dock with moveable cleats for better docking experience. Tripped Pedestal breaker with older 50 amp system but Dockmaster was able to make adjustments to system and all was well. Water pressure was great. Close to restaurants and annual boaters were very helpful and friendly. Staff were very helpful.

    Great place to stay. Docks are floating and can be short. Good washrooms free laundry great pool and restaurant. Kids loved the beach. Enter the basin between the markers at decent speed as winds tend to blow you to the south by the markers. Once into the basin everything calms down. Ships store, free pumpout and laundry in the tiki hut in the outer basin. Friendly liveaboards in the marina.

    They are closing soon (November 2022) to reconstruct the docks and build a hotel on property.

    We stayed for one night enroute to Key West. Fixed docks that are a bit short. Never checked their washrooms or showers. Wifi worked for us. Staff were very nice. Don't forget to make a securite call before entering crash corner. We favoured the reds entering the channel for deepest water

    Expensive place, pumpout at the slip. Washroom in desperate need of rebuild but functional. Laundry is ok, staff are nice. Tiki Bar nearby which is nice with decent pub food and happy hour. Docks are decent, wifi was suspect had to reboot every other day.

    Great place for reasonably priced bottom job. They allow your selected contractors to work on your boat. They have no desire to store boats on property unless you are doing work on your boat and when the work is done they launch you right away. Very nice staff that work with you.

    Gas and pumpout available. Slips encountered some damage due to high waters 2017; most slips back in service with gazebo area directly behind your boat. Food device available after 6pm from Wed-Sat during boating season at the clubhouse. Cheap beer prices. Washrooms and showers at dock area are decent. Downtown Oakville 10 minute walk to stores and many many restaurants. Apparently this marina due for a total rebuild for 2018+2019. Power boats only due to bridge height restrictions.

    Very nice floating docks with water and power. Very clean washrooms and showers. Laundry facilities on site. Very short walk to town where there are lots of food choices. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They answered chan 68 very quickly when on the approach to marina. Very clean!
