I kept my Morgan here for over a year. There is no WiFi on the docks yet the yard has pretty good coverage. The problem persisted for the length of my stay.

They use a paper system instead of a computer. Keep your receipts as it is common to be asked for them to complete their record.

The docks are in fair repair but be careful for cupped deck boards. They are many and hazardous. There are many neglected boats and the staff does not check shore power cables for being in the water. I had to replace zincs twice a year.

Bath houses are clean, work well and have a distinct 1960's patina. BYO towels and toiletries. There are no other amenities.

Do not expect help docking unless you specifically request assistance. You may or may not get it.

The staff are very personable and the quality of their boat restoration/repair work is good. I have never dealt with their diesel mechanic so ask the locals. There are mechanics in the area that will come to you.

Great marina and repair yard. Mark will go out of his way to cater to cruisers and folks from in or out of town. High recommendation if you decide to travel up towards Washington!

Spent two months here getting repowered. The staff was friendly and helpful. The mechanic installing the engine was thorough and knowledgeable and the install cost was reasonable. I would highly recommend McCotters Marina as a place to have repairs done or just a scenic place to stop off the ICW.
