Very nice marina with all the amenities as advertised. Shallow bay to enter and there are two unmarked paths to get around reported shoal, but call ahead and get approach to depart Elk River and course heading.

Really great staff!

This marina is a $20 to $30 cab ride to grocery stores or restaurants.

As has been mentioned, transients are put on their fuel dock in front of the fuel so the many boaters on a busy labor day weekend (when we stayed) that need gas pass your boat constantly. It is not an issue at night, but the day is very rocky / rolly.

Very dog friendly and great amenities with a pool and showers and laundry. The showers and laundry had a few problems with working properly, but there are plenty of them so finding working ones was not an issue.

Bohemia Bay Yacht Club is a large very well maintained facility most of which is well protected from the winds and weather, however; BBYC places transients on the long semi-exposed face dock adjacent to the main office along the entrance canal leading to their more protected inner docks. This face dock which also hosts their fuel pumps and pump outs allows easy transient docking. BBYC also has an onsite boat maintenance facility w haulout covering various marine services.

All the employees we dealt w and Ken the manager were extremely friendly and helpful. BBYC has a very nice swimming pool overlooking the water and multiple clean and well maintained laundry rooms, bathrooms, and showers existing in different areas of the marina grounds - including ones adjacent to the transient dock - so all are readily acessible. The marina has no restaurant or bar but various local restaurants do deliver food to BBYC which helps since the marina is fairly isolated to those w/o a vehicle.

The major downside as far as we were concerned as transients unfamiliar w the Bohemia River is the extremely shallow Bohemia River entrance a large part of which shoals to 4' or less at low tide.

After being in Baltimore, it was a welcome sight. This location is beautiful, on the Bohemia Bay. Staff was helpful, and the marina has a lot to offer with pool, laundry room, clean restrooms. The marina is well maintained, which is good to see.

Great Marina with friendly helpful staff. Clean showers, beautiful pool, beach, playground and many picnic areas with beautiful views. Docks are fixed and there are no nearby restaurants or shopping. You can order from a couple of restaurants that will deliver. A great value, we would definitely visit again.
