    Nice little marina. Decent value for the money. Dockmaster lives onsite and is very knowledgeable and friendly! Restaurant on site and also a hotel. Pool is available to transients. Food and service at restaurant is good! T - dock was easy on and easy off. Pump out there also. No fuel. Easy walk to Tiki area and West Marine was approximately 3 blocks away, with liquor store next door! Would stay again.

    Nice, quiet marina. Easily booked on Dockwa app. Owner called to let us know he was headed out of town but gave us slip assignment. EasyPeasy. Docks appear to be in the process of upgrading. New stringers, decking, elec & water installed. On-site restaurant offers fresh seafood. Close to the very well done Maritime Museum w/ Drum Pt Lighthouse. Not the fanciest bathroom/shower but very clean.

    Marina? Not what I would call a marina, more like a place to tie a boat to. No dock hands, no one in office to welcome you, no one on site for 4 days we were there, ghost town. If there is a pump out…?? Docks have 0 cleats, so high you cannot get out of your boat. Pool belongs to hotel, packed with young kids, wouldn't go near it. Too many other choices, never again! Mooring would have more amenities.

    Great location for walking to shopping, museum and restaurants. Nice pool and great onsite Anglers restaurant. They also have boats for fishing charters, free wifi, laundry and shower houses plus Quality Inn Hotel for your guests who come by car. Great experience and the best price in town.

    Had a great time visiting friends who run a charter boat out of this marina. The marina is clean and the kids enjoyed the pool. The hotel allows small dogs- so Lucky could join our weekend getaway. We cooked out on the grills for lunch and enjoyed the great restaurants nearby. Plan to return for Tiki opening in April. This place is a hidden gem!
