Excellent facility, with launch ramp, fuel, store, boater's lounge, laundry, and spotless bathrooms with showers. Adjacent to a state park and bike paths that connect to more parks and Downtown Buffalo a couple of miles away. Charlie's Boat Yard, the onsite restaurant is terrific. We were on the courtesy dock at the very north end, which is close to the bathrooms, but also near the gas pumps, harbor entrance, and is in the least sheltered portion of the marina from wind, waves and wakes. We would return, but would ask for a different slip next time.

Great marina but transient slips are a bit narrow, so be sure to confirm you fit in one or two slips before booking. On-site dock master accommodating.
Very nice clean bathhouse with great showers and nice walking trail for you and fur babies. Good on-site restaurant.

A great marina. Clean and friendly. Gas only, no diesel. We are from Erie PA at another Safe Harbor Marina. Safe Harbor is doing a great job!

Be advised. The entrance now includes attenuating structures entering the marina! All slips have been re-oriented!!

Good public toilets. Nice gas dock folks. Charts show that this is a designated anchorage with room to boot. No designated channels are marked. I anchored in the corner and have faced harassment for two days. Glad to leave.
