The Velcro Marina! so called because once you visit you stick, and don't want to leave! We had a wonderful stay here over Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality! Happy Hour on Friday after we arrived, Christmas potluck brunch on Sunday, Christmas dinner Christmas day with chicken and ham and WI e and beer provided by the marina! There is a great community here of full time residents and longer stay transients that make for a really fun friendly welcoming atmosphere! Facilities are excellent and well maintained and the staff are great! We will definitely stop here again on our way back north.

Friendly staff were dockside as I negotiated strong winds as I "afted" in between a couple of longer vessels and they kept me from meeting my new neighbors. Clean marina with good equipment. Very sociable community here. We did not venture from the marina to know anything about the town but nonetheless felt very secure in the area and enjoyed our stay.

This review is mainly for yard storage which is located at the end of the fairway into the marina. Ann and I had to cut our trip north short last spring due to my shoulder injury and I had to quickly find a place to store Fleetwing over the summer. Although I had given no prior notice, BLM took me in and hauled Fleetwing as I needed. The crew is as professional as any I've ever met and put Fleetwing in the yard with the option of tie down straps (6 all around) anchored to concrete in the ground - an option I took in view of the possibility of hurricanes over the summer. It turned out to be a wise choice since hurricane Idalia hit in August - a rare event for Brunswick, I'm told. Fleetwing survived the hurricane without damage as did all the boats in the yard that had tie down straps. I had work done by the yard to repair a leaky through hull and to polish the prop. Both were done professionally and the through hull no longer leaks. A previous repair of the through hull by another boat yard had resulted in not repairing the leak. The yard has WiFi so you can install a webcam to keep track of your boat if desired. I had a dehumidifier on board to prevent mildew and the boat yard checked every day to ensure it was getting electricity. Water is also available at the yard although I had no need of it. You are allowed to work on your boat above the waterline, they have to do any work below the waterline due to EPA restrictions. I refinished my teak without a problem. If you have a dinghy and it's not on davits, it must be stored on the foredeck - which I did. The yard provided help in putting the dinghy up on deck and in returning it to water after launch. I would not hesitate to use the yard again, the crew is very professional and take good care of your boat, both in hauling and launching as well as while on land.

The Marina was nice. Happy Hour was good place to meet people. Didn't love the Paper Mill smell.
