Great people! Kevin and the service crew top notch.
Restaurant did not disappoint (although only open F-S-S after Labor Day)
Little narrow and shallow on entry but we'll protected slips once in there.
Heated pool, dog friendly, loaner car... don't let the PRIVATE tag deter you, they seem quite transient/ looper friendly.View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer

Despite well kept grounds and a nice setting, the marina feels neglected. No radio response or docking help upon arrival, no staffed on-site office and a general feeling of abandonment.
Bathrooms and showers were generally clean but laundry was outdoors and rusted so really unusable.
Despite being seemingly tucked away there were significant wakes from the main channel of the St Lawrence. Churning up significant mud (3.5 ft draft) was also common in the fairway and the slip.
There is little to nothing within walking distance as far as provisions, restaurants, etc. You might as well be anchored out since everything is best accessed by dinghy across the channel in A-Bay.
The on-site restaurant seems nice but only open part of the week.
A disappointment for such a beautiful location and the premium price.
side note... although 50A service is advertised it is NOT available at the vast majority of the slips. Be prepared with a 30-30 to 50 split or else...View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer
