Marina Review for Alpena Marina
Reviewed by: Mike on May 20, 2017
Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 52'
Draft: 4.0'Rating: 5
Stopped by while transiting southbound and refueled upon arrival. Despite not being officially open for the season yet, the dockhands helped us refuel and get situated for our stay. Due to weather, we extended our stay for a second night. The docks were excellent, although the potable water on the docks was not operational yet due to the earliness of the season - the temperatures went from 80 degrees when we arrived to 38 degrees when we departed!

Marina Review for Cheboygan County Marina

Stopped while transiting from Lake Michigan to Lake Erie. We refueled and pumped waster here. The dockhand was most helpful with those services and in getting us tied up and situated for the night. The docks are in excellent condition. However, it is a very long way to the nearest restaurant, shopping or other amenities. Also, the shower facilities need work to be fully operational. On the other hand, we were running prior to the regular boating season, so things may be improved later on.

Marina Review for Charlevoix City Marina

We spent the night here while transiting from Holland to Toledo. The docks are excellent and the dockhands provided outstanding assistance in getting settled. The facility is the best I've seen thus far, with the minor exception of not having refueling or pumpout capability - that is available next door at Ward Brother's. Simply a fantastic place to stop!.

Stopped to refuel while transiting up the coast. Ward Brother's is adjacent to the Charlevoix Municipal Marina and provides fueling and pumpout services for boats that overnight at the marina. The refueling dock is nice and long and easy to approach. The attendant was friendly and very helpful.
