Nearby marina refused to honor slip confirmation. Was able to stay here instead, and I would recommend it highly. Great facility and staff made this a wonderful stay.

Used Snag-A- Slip and had confirmation. Upon arrival no one at dock and had to go somewhere else. Harbor master had family emergency and other staff was off. No one answered ch 16 or phone number when called.

  Marina reply:
  
  I had a family medical emergency earlier on the same day of the Snag-A-Slip customer's reservation and so, I had to leave the marina unattended for a couple of hours. The dock master to be on duty that day, asked me the previous day, if he could have the next day off - the same day as the customer's reservation. I gave him permission to take the day off. I believed that I would be available to attend to the dock. I did not know the ETA (arrival time) for the dockage customer, but there was plenty of space available on the docks. So, I did not have the dock covered when he arrived. I assumed that the customer would tie his boat on the main dock or somewhere and stay until someone showed to give slip assignment.
  
  When I arrived at the marina shortly thereafter, I called and apologized and explained the situation to him. Of course, I gladly authorized Snag-A-Slip to refund the customer's money.
  
  Sincerely,

Little or no wi fi on outer docks, strong currents on tide change. No captains lounge and shore bathrooms are filthy.
