Marina is still in the process of rebuilding but was able to take us in for a few days. Power and water available, along with laundry if needed. The staff is so welcoming and if you need anything they are happy to help. The future will be great for them.

Very nice marina. They are not listed on the Michigan state website just call them to arrange dockage. We were on the wall and it was fine. Great town with restaurants and shopping near by. Bathrooms and laundry are clean reasonable priced for laundry. No concerns comings in to the marina

Limited power only 30 Amp is working. Plenty of green space for dogs to walk. Can be a bit noisy with trains and traffic, didn't bother us. Bow in so props stick out towards the river. Still saw 9ft.

What a great place. Very clean and superb facilities. Kitchen to use if needed, Laundry, and bathrooms. One of cleanest boat yards I have seen. Plenty of places to walk the pups. Fuel prices were pretty reasonable we didn't need any but definitely call and ask. Make sure to see Hudson the Swan.

Great little marina. Very clean and new floating docks. We stayed during very strong north winds. Had to extend our stay and it was no problem. Car is available for use to go to town if needed. Restaurant on site is great too. Colin is super nice , along with the while group at the boat yard. Plenty of areas to walk and take your pups too. Definitely would stay again.

Great stop over. The dockmaster is very helpful and keeps the marina clean. Plenty of areas to walk and dog friendly. We were on the fuel dock which was perfect, tucked away from the winds. Bathrooms are clean and even had a hair dryer for the ladies. There is a pizza place that delivers but we didn't try.

Daniel is one of the best dockmasters we have had. We came in waiting for a weather window to go back north and he was very accommodating. Restaurants and grocery close by, many pools to use, and nice neighborhoods to walk in. Crash corner is easy in and out just listen for the boats to come in and out.

Marina is fine, docks are large floating concrete. Make sure to place your fenders out. Current is strong but plenty of room inside the docks. The dockhands are friendly and helpful. It is exposed to all winds so be aware. Plenty of places to walk and enjoy the history.

Stayed for 3 days at the marina. They are still under construction after being damaged from the hurricane. Dock hands are really helpful, as the current can be a little swift with winds. Laundry and bathrooms are very clean if needed. Plenty of areas to walk to town and eat. A little rocky but to be expected as your right off the ICW.

We love Barefoot Marina. The dockhands are the best and very helpful, checking on us everyday. We stayed a few days extra due to the storm. Close to many places. Restaurant on site and across the ICW. We rode our bikes to the local Food Lion and down to the beach. Stayed during 4th of July which was really fun. We will be back.

Loved this marina. Stayed June 10th thru 12th. The dockhands are extremely helpful. Donuts in the morning if you choose. We were placed on the face dock and it was perfect to watch the sunrise and sunset. They have a car to use shopping is close by. Gated area so no problem with people walking around. Bathrooms and laundry right on site. We will be back on our way back down the icw.

Great stop between Savannah and Jekyll Island. Only a short trip up the river which is plenty deep even at low tide. We saw 20ft. Get off the boat and walk the grounds, it's beautiful. Restaurant is not open Monday or Tuesday but we didn't care. Owner was there to welcome us. Power is new and no problems. Definitely stop again.

We stayed for 4 days June 4 thru the 7th. Face dock and it's beautiful for sunset. Dockhands are very helpful. We rode our bikes around the island so much history there. Showers and laundry available along with bikes if you need them. Beach is also close enough to walk to. Beautiful island and marina. Definitely will stop again.

Great stop along the ICW. We came in with strong ne wind and the docking was not easy for us. Thank you for the great dockhands. Saw nothing lower than 8ft in the channel, fuel dock is easy to get to, West Marine and grocery within a mile. We definitely would be stopping again.

Great place, we ended up staying a week due to the weather. We wanted to be at Seabrook Marina but their slips were too exposed the night we came in. Uber to grocery and into town. Restaurant on site. Laundry available.

Stayed 2/12. Make sure to call the Coast Guard coming in on channel 11. Very helpful!! The river shoals right but they will give you great information how to get in. Once along the dock go up to where you can read Morgan City and there are cleats. You'll see the power and water hook up. $30 per day. We actually walked to Walgreens. It was a bit choppy for us as the fetch of the river was large during the night.

Stayed 2/10. Giving them 5 stars since this is the only stop between eastbound since Sabine Pass. The fuel dock does close early so make sure to take note if you are not staying overnight. Capt Steve came out to help us with our lines. Power and water. Put out extra fenders to help protection. $25 bucks for the night. We got fuel first thing the next morning, staff is very helpful.

Just like the other reviews beautiful anchorage. Went to the north side, depths were 8ft where we anchored. Fishing dock across the way to walk the dogs. Heard the owls at night. Plenty of swing room. We probably could have moved in more but no one was around.

Great anchorage. Went to the north side depth was fine for us, 8ft, good mud anchorage. A little traffic from the boats but nothing to wake you. If you have pets no where to take them. Peaceful night we stay again.

Great place to stay. About 9 miles south of the ICW. Staff is really helpful. The T dock is at the end with power and water. Didn't use the showers or laundry but if needed we would have. Staff helped us with docking as the winds were pushing us around a bit. Very quite place.
