This is one of the best marinas in the Great Lakes. Great docks, power, showers, etc. very modern and clean. Some transient but you must call.

This is a spectacular place, but you have to like both remote and quiet. Slips are quite new and all floating. Good power with 50 and 30 amp, but they do have Marinaguard which is great except that some boats "leak" electricity, and that will trip the Marinaguard. It's a great safety feature, but your boat must comply. There are no stores or services. WiFi is very weak and do is ATT cell.

Just some quick comments. For larger boats, maybe 45 and over, they have a 1,000' wall with power (50 and 30 amp) and water, but the reservation system doesn't accommodate it. You must call the marina directly. Northport is a quiet town with a nice beach, hiking, tennis, and golf. Restaurants are limited after Covid destruction!

Marina Review for Safe Harbor Harbortown

This is primarily a storage marina with a wide range of yacht services. It is very old with fixed docks and short finger piers which are very narrow. The advertised depth is 8’ but it is closer to 4 with many spots at 3.5 at low tide. The tide is about 2’ and sailboats routinely bump the bottom in the fairways. The people are wonderful and the restaurant is terrific. They have no mobile pump-out so you need to move your boat to get that service. In our two weeks we saw none of the boats on our dock move for a pump out. Clearly, many are pumping overboard.

Pretty unusual place. They still do not have fuel on their beautiful new docks. Pump out is available. If you are put on the face dock make sure the wind isn't strong out of North, West or South. It really kicks up and there are constant boat wakes too. We popped an Aere inflatable fender when a Viking when by. There is no usable wifi. Attendants are great and the town is wonderful with shops, bars and restaurants. Publix and Harris Teeters are a few Uber miles away.

A great stop. Lots of current and 8’ tide. Dock masters are very experienced and helpful. Courtesy golf carts are available.

Huge mega marina. Great fueling at up to 50 GPM. Floating docks, but no pump out. Pump outs don’t seem to be a thing in the Carolinas. Some marinas advertise pump outs but they are broken. Here they are waiting for a grant so there is no sense of urgency. We would stay here again.

Service is great here and most everything is OK. Because of Covid maybe, most of the restaurants are closed and the town is pretty closed up. They have a terrific system to fuel you at your slip. Lights at night are very bright and unshielded shining in your boat. Some broken-down docks probably from storm damage.

Nice dock with good power, but as a transient you are on the outside where you catch all wakes. Nice dockmaster, but town is disgusting with tons of homeless and homeless encampments. You need to be locked in all the time.
