Good docks, a little noisy due to the bridge. Dock hands helped tie us up. Did not use any services. Food was good at boathouse restaurant

Everyone was so nice and helpful. Really enjoyed it. They remembered us from 2 years ago when we were there for 2 months.

Great easy stay on unusually cold overnight for mid March. Responsive on telephone and request to move to Boathouse side of Marina.

This is our 3 rd time to stay here. This time was not great. Was meeting another boat here for the night. When we approached the marina we tried call on radio multiple times tried calling by phone multiple times. We never got anyone to answer our calls. We kinda knew where we were docking so with help from customers at restaurant we were able to get tied up. Shortly after our friends showed up on their boat. They also had tried to call on radio and phone multiple times, no response from Marina. We were able to move our boat up enough that they were able tie off behind us. We spent the night and left with no response or call back from Marina. The office was not close to where we docked (a little hike). We did not walk to office. We had dinner instead.
They should be more responsive especially when they knew they had two boats coming into dock.
My opinion it was full self service no help to dock no contact with marina.

JIm,
Thank you for returning and taking the time to share your feedback. I'm very disappointed we did not meet your expectations, or our own. We sincerely apologize for missing your radio and phone calls. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we are reviewing to ensure we provide the service and support you deserve and have experienced in the past.by Todd D. - Verified user on Feb 14, 2026
No complaints other than if staying in front of the restaurant on the facing docks, the bathrooms are really too far to walk to. There is no docking help, and they just tell you to take whatever is available. Noise from the highway is loud and wakes can be big. Other than that, restaurant food was good, and it is a super easy in and out stop when crossing the lake.

We called on VHF a couple of times, no answer. We called on phone, received slip assignment and offer to help take lines. No one showed up tp help and the slip was shallow. About half way in, we stopped and pulled ourselves in manually since we did not want our running gear exposed to the bottom. We were on the opposite side of the marina from the Boathouse. We did see the golf cart once bring back a neighboring boater. All in all, we got in, were protected from the river and had a nice nights sleep. I marked it two stars for lack of help and shallowness of the slip especially with backing in. The marina has typical short fixed docks. Cost was approximately $3.70 a foot with tax.

Nobody answered 16. Put our 40’ boat in a 20’ slip. Couldn’t walk onto the dock without going over the rail either bow or stern in. Was told we’d have dock hands to help when we called in on the phone. No one showed up. Only reason it doesn’t get 1/5 is that the lounge is nice.

Location is easy if coming from the east down the river. Price is good, too. There is music daily at the restaurant which is also nice. However, the marina is right next to a busy bridge with lots of traffic so very loud. And the worse was a cleaning person using a leaf blower at the restaurant (right next to the dock) at MIDNIGHT. Talk about loud.

Arrived at five. Nobody around for instructions, where to go, etc. Would have be nice knowing some information in advance.

Marina staff was very helpful and pleasant. They accepted our Amazon packages and even offered to deliver to the boat! Boathouse restaurant was very busy but service was outstanding. Food was good. Alligator bites were a new treat for me. We were docked in front of the Tiki bar on the wall. Fixed docks were in excellent condition with adequate sized well secured cleats. The 50A power had great voltage with no voltage sags. Great for a busy holiday weekend. Pool was busy but very clean as were the restrooms. Grocery store and shopping was a bit of a hike, about a mile. Thanks for a great stay.

Hope to welcome you back again soon for another great visit!by Mark & Dana G. on Dec 11, 2024
Nice little marina. A little tight and not the deepest but doable. Nice VIP lounge are with men’s and women’s bathrooms and a shower in each. FOB protected. Gas grill. In slip pump out. Has gas but no diesel which is a little questionable. Nice little restaurant on site with golf cart shuttle to get you to and from if needed…only a short walk though. Also a washer and a dryer, minimal cost.Very friendly staff and locals !! Recommend.

This marina was recommended by some friends so we spent a few nights here last month. The facility and staff were amazing! Very clean and the young lady at the desk was wonderful.
