Review for Castaway Bay Marina

This is a very nice marina, but it's pretty far off the beaten track. We went there to wait out some weather and wanted a very sheltered spot -- this was definitely it. There's one close restaurant and a handful of others within a mile. Town, with several museums and a bunch of shops, is 2.3 miles away -- walkable (we did it) but far. Uber/Lyft do not have available cars.

The marina itself had clean bathrooms and showers and a laundry facility with $1.75 for washer and driers. We were the only boat at the transient dock. It was very quiet at night.

Be careful when making reservations. If you call the number for the marina, you might wind up getting a reservation at a different marina that also manages this one. If you give them your credit card number, they will charge it and not refund your fee, even if they booked you at the wrong marina. Fortunately, the dock guy at Castaway credited us for the $50 deposit we paid and only charged the difference for our stay at Castaway.
