    Very friendly people in the marina on neighboring boats. The staff was helpful but didn't seem knowledgeable about marina and equipment. We stayed on F dock on the far east side and had no connection to internet whatsoever where we were. In fact it seemed to be non operational everywhere. The marina is still recovering from Florence in 2018. The docks are in really poor condition and in need of repairs/replacement. The marina office with bathrooms and laundry is half the distance to downtown and it's at least 2 blocks. On their website page they posted $2/ft for BoatUS. They didn't honor it, said it was wrong and made us pay $2.50/ft. Better management and investments needed. Also you need to pass the bridge on your way in and out. It doesn't open at rush hour 7-9 am and 4-6pm

    Very poor management. Wanted to make a reservation for our yacht for our anniversary weekend. Called two month ahead and was told they cannot make reservations that far ahead and asked us to come back 1-2 weeks before. Called a month ahead with same answer. Called 2 1/2 weeks ahead and now they were fully booked!!! Just the poorest management I have ever encountered. Just lost a return transient customer for ever. If you get a transient here it is pure luck.
