Pay attention to approach channel width and depths. We saw one or two spots of six feet. We were the only transient. Dock hand helped us tie up, but never saw a person in the office. There did appear to be some employees around in the yard however. There is a loaner car which we used one rainy day for tourism. Bathrooms clean but toilets didn't flush well. Didn't use pump out or get fuel, but diesel about $1 more per gallon than even in southern Door County. Finger piers narrow but stable. Fixed docks. Plenty of tourism sites on the island. Two decent restaurants within walking distance.

Charged twice for the same part. When I said I was charged twice for the same part they said I was wrong. Credit card company is disputing it now. Dumb.

Superb operation & Harbormaster was exceptionally helpful; even to the point of rummaging around in the service department to find a solution on a Sunday AM.

We left a message inquiring about slip availability and staff returned call. They gave good directions on slip location and tie-up. Near our ETA, they texted with updated information. This is a nice small marina. Showers were very nice and clean. Pumpout and laundry were out of service during our visit. The on-site restaurant, Sailor’s Pub, is not really a pub, but a sit down tablecloth restaurant with prices to match.

Hard to contact. This is a working boat yard. The staff was accommodating and facilities were clean. Sailor's Pub restaurant on site is pricey but the quality of the chef prepared meals justified every cent. Located far from town, but the loaner car allowed us to go to town, grab a great breakfast at the Island Cafe and go to the market to restock groceries.
