Location, location, location! This marina couldn't be closer to the center of town and offers great weather and wave protection in a park setting. Mike and his staff are very friendly and accommodating. Good docks, showers/restrooms. The on-site restaurant is far better than the average marina establishment. Upscale Harbor Springs is well worth a multi-day stay, especially if biking or dinghying over to Petoskey for the day. True, they don't take reservations, but if you call the morning of intended arrival, Mike will do his best to hold an appropriate space for you. There's also a large mooring field just outside the dock area.

This marina is slightly less expensive than Irish Boat Shop, which is next door. However, the city marina does not participate with the Michigan DNR reservation system. In fact, they don't take reservations other than on the day you want to arrive. Once there, you can extend you stay, but without a firm spot for your arrival, it's hard to plan to come to this place.

No services are available. The facilities are minimal, but acceptable.
