Came in on a Saturday for fuel and a two night stay. No Safe Harbor staff on duty on the weekend to help with the docking. Could not fit into the slip they assigned. 15 foot beam boat into a 15 foot slip doesn't work. I am a Safe Harbor member and this marina is not up to the standards of Safe Harbor's reputation. Staff at the independent fuel dock was very helpful and even gave me a 40 cent a gallon discount.

Safe Harbor is conveniently located off the Detroit River good fairways, grassy (early August) bottom, older but nice marina . . . Showers, Bathrooms newly remodeled, pool, fuel (run by 3rd party) and good protection (provided boaters follow NWZ), many pedestals are 30'amp so be prepared with a splitter for 50 amp needs . . . Why 4 stars, no laundry, marina office closed on Sunday (no dock Hand's that day) . . . Safe Harbor has taken over this marina and are doing things to improve it . . . Better days ahead!

Easy entrance and lots of room to dock with a sailboat. Quiet part of river. Helpful dock hands.
