Very friendly marina. Lots of season slip holders on weekends. Restaurant (weather permitting) next to marina office. Bathrooms and showers sufficient. No Laundry or WiFi. If you like long walks or have a bike, you can get to the city and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (about 3.5 miles).

Very nice marina with a great crew of staff! Fueling and pump out were easy. The transient dock is across the way from the marina office and is a busy place. Many boats just come for the day and walk into the cute town of Geneva on the Lake. Bathrooms and showers could have some improvements made.

We docked on the high concrete wall just before the stairs leading up to the fire station and Power House restaurant/bar. We had to use the wall ladder to exit our boat, but we're glad to have a way up! Shore power, water, and bathrooms/showers in the firehouse. It was a little noisy at night as the bar was having karaoke night. !

This bridge is definitely lower than it's posted at! It's right in downtown Fairport. I'm thinking it's was more like 14' when we passed under!

We picked a nice space to dock in the shade on the S side of the canal before the bridge. Shore power and water available on a concrete wall that's not too high! No facilities, but a beautiful location! The east end of the docking area is very shallow. We were reading 3'7" thinking that was where we wanted to be, but decided to move further west. Happy we did!

We anchored a little N and E of this marker, S of the submerged "island". The shallows are well marked! We anchored in 11' of water where the bottom is Sandy/mud. There was absolutely no wind the day/night we were here. Quiet and peaceful. Very little boat traffic for such a beautiful place!

Great little marina! Tom, the owner makes it feel like home. Planters are spread out on the docks with beautiful arrangements. There is a veggie garden for those dockers that come and can harvest. Clean bath and shower areas, loaner car, grills, gazebo, what more could you ask for! Oh, and the dock fee! $.90/foot! Crazy cheap! Great fuel prices also!

Floating docks were just being put in today May 24. From E to W on the concrete wall, there is room for 3 -4 boats that can handle 7' to the waterline with 2 electric pedestals. Then the concrete slopes down to accommodate 3 more boats (tight) with power and water. The floating dock can handle 2 more boats. It looks like the electric may be available at some time. Cleats are not well spaced. Call the dock master to get a key to restrooms, shower, and laundry. He will come later in the day to collect docking fees.

We anchored just west of this marker in 10' of good holding mud/sand. It's a short dinghy over to Amsterdam Riverlink Park where there are showers, bathrooms and laundry. (Call the number at the landing for a key) There are quite a few loud trains that run on the N shore.

Great marina with floating concrete docks. We were tied inside the South entrance but in the evening, several very fast boats with huge wakes rocked the docks! I've never seen concrete docks heave (with out boat attached) so much! Town is right off the pier and there is a secure gate to enter the docks. Shower and bathroom facilities were nice, but a distance away from the piers outside the gates. We were told that new facilities were in the plans to be closer.

Tucked away in the island is this large marina. There is a small channel, which was hard to find, to enter the dock area. The marina folks were extremely friendly and helpful. We were even given a slice each of Smith Island Cake when we checked in! Laundry is available. The shower and bathroom facilities were a 10! The did have a pool, but we were early in the season, so it wasn't open yet. Walking distance to groceries, town, Smith Island Bakers! Fuel and pump out were available.

We anchored in 12' of soft mud. It took 2 times to set the hook. There wasn't much wind at all and we swung around most of the night. There is one house on the shore point with a small farm. We were treated to watch the St Mary's Sailing team practice most of the afternoon and the Crew team rowing during the dinner hour. This is a peaceful anchorage.

We spent a very quiet night on the hook and were treated to St Mary's College Sailing team practice as well as their Crew team. The sounds of spring birds and a beautiful sunrise were a nice addition. We did have to anchor twice as we couldn't get the hook to catch the first time.

Bashi is a very tight anchorage. Very narrow but deep enough to turn the boat around. It was 9' right up to the shore! There was a lot of floating vegetation the further you went in. We used a stern anchor to keep us in the middle of the creek. Several branches from trees hang into the passage.

I would say that Three Rivers is an OK anchorage. It can easily fit 3 boats. It is deeper than we like to anchor (19'). It is wide enough to turn around. There are several branches that hang out of the water from the shore. It is quiet unless fishermen are going up or back from the lake. We enjoyed watching the barges go passed at night!
