came in to pick up up folks from airport just ahead of a gale. Dockmaster and owner not only extremely helpful and friendly but they walked the docks at least 4 times as winds increased making suggestions and helping folks ad/move lines. Docks are brand new high end HDPE pilings, decking everything. Great restaurant on site , 2 others and a liquor store right close by. Came back boxing day ( day after Christmas) to drop folks back for airport with a dead alternator at 4 pm. Brian ( owner) had a mechanic there at 5 and I had a new alternator a day latter. Great place.

Just spent one night here and didn't go ashore or use facilities. Booked online ahead of time and when we got there at 3 pm another boat was all ready on the ball we had reserved. We found another close by and tied up, luckily no other boat came and said they had reserved it. This was on a weekend when there is no staff present. There were motorcycles revving, racing, doing burn outs for hours in the parking lot and over and back on the bridge that night. After a while I asked my wife if there were no police in the area at all...... worst sleepless night in 2 weeks on the boat. Probably a great place if there was 24/7 oversight.... hard to run a business just by a computer....

Great protected basin. Dock hands quick to help. Reasonably priced. Great downtown with lots of good restaurants close by ( we only tried 2). Very Happening bar/restaurant right on site. Only downside was bathhouse/laundry, 2 washers/dryers only one of each working. Bathhouse needs a redo... We were told when calling in to favor the red side and had 8+ ft of water in and out....
