    Left my boat on the hard when the U.S. closed the border in 2021. Very good yard with great owners. They are extremely helpful in all ways. Rates are fair. Close to shops and chandleries. No fuel and only some slips with water, but they are spending a lot of money on upgrades. I highly recommend for storage.

    Stayed here 3 times, last was April 2020. Great location with wonderful trip along New River to marina. They have a good laundry and washroom facility with showers. At end of Riverwalk so good walking, and biking trail along river. Short distance to shops and restaurants. Publix within walking distance. Great spot to watch superyachts go by under tow. Highly recommend.

    Docked at Parks Canada dock in the bay. Stayed 4 nights. Good trails. Beware of rattlers, a boater was bitten going to washroom at night. Overall very enjoyable
