Regarding transient boaters only here, the emphasis of this marina is not the usual attention to customers as you won't receive any here. It is instead one of operating a "parking lot" for attendees of the thrill park. The "parking lot" though is a nice one although dock hands are seldom observed. Clean wide aluminum alloy floating docks with fixed cleats provide good traction. Jumbo spud poles provide a secure foundation. Power and water work well dockside. All of the observed 50' docks were 50 amp only so bring an adapter if you run on 30 amp service. Adapters are available for rent should you require one. Electronically secured gates at the end of the dock are opened via cards issued at registration and of course by "tailgating" others. Restrooms and showers were kept clean and serviceable.

This is a very noisy environment so not the best place to be if you prefer a quiet stay, but once again that's not the apparent mission of this marina and there are many more in this beautiful area to enjoy that would be better suited to your needs. Hopefully you're here to enjoy the thrill park and all of the excitement and consequently be able to overlook the lack of normal boating courtesies that one might expect from your neighbors as they are likely boats full of excited kids and partying dads with their high power audio systems.

Great assistance from dockhands at both the fuel dock and docking. Staff was engaging and helpful. Nice pool setting. Good security on docks. Good laundry, restroom and shower facilities. Even if you're not into the roller coaster thing, it's a fun environment. Good but not great restaurants in the area. Rock solid wide floating docks.

Tight little marina that is convenient to Cedar Point amusement park. Decent laundry room. Showers with seats and places to put your stuff! I would have rated the Marina higher but there was a solid lack of info about check in and facility amenities. We were emailed a slip number, but no other info. We pulled into slip and ended up getting the run down from our neighbor. But still one of the better marinas that we stayed at in this trip.

If you're planning on riding roller coasters, this is the marina for you. Otherwise, there are probably better choices in the Sandusky area.

Be prepared to dock without assistance, however, hands from the fuel dock will help if requested and they are available. Floating docks in very good condition.

Two bath houses on property. The one nearest the main office and transient docks are heavily used. For a better experience, walk to the other end of the marina.
