Pro: Easy entrance from Mobile Bay. Sheltered location. Very helpful staff. Good fuel prices. Short taxi/Uber to really fun downtown Fairhope

Con: Zero amenities. Several docks still without water or power after hurricane 2 years ago. Restrooms and laundry are just adequate. Slips are tight for boats over 40'.

Conclusion: A good choice for boats under 40', if you can snag a slip with power. City needs to up the budget to complete repairs.

We arrived on a day that turned far windier than expected. Sean and his staff did an excellent job helping getting us secure. He is a very wise mariner. Docks in process of being improved, stable for walking. Town is lovely, be sure to have cream brûlée at R Bistro. Cab driver was single person chamber of commerce. Navigation clue: approaching from the water it is difficult to see Fly Creek. The creek goes through the middle of the forest of sailboats, just look for all the masts. Channel is apparent as you approach. There are empty posts out in mobile bay. They are not the channel, they are for boat races.
Worth a stop, watch the tides and the depth.
