Free Dock Review for Peoria City Dock
Reviewed by: William Denison on Feb 3, 2024
LOA: 42'
Rating: 1
Docks are run down and most power pedestals do not work and are a safety hazard being loose or broken. Seems like city has not invested any funds in the facility recently. No cleats on face dock at north end of docks which makes it impossible to tie up a boat.

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.

Person on phone to make reservation was very helpful. They put my Sabre 48 on the T head. Could not hook up two 30 amp plugs to my 50 amp splitter. So I ran the generator. I suspect one 30 amp outlet did not work.
Docks are a bit old.
Local slip owners were very friendly.View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer

Stayed for a week. Staff was friendly and helpful. Docks were good but WiFi was poor but we had Verizon unlimited data so not a big problem. Most Canadian boats were out of the water so we had the place to ourselves for the most part. Enterprise close by. Small farmers market on Saturday was nice. Good restaurant on site and downtown is an easy walk.

Great stop and convenient to town. Enterprise will pick you up. Good place to provision and relax for a week. Very nice facility and helpful staff. I would like to give them 5 stars but their WiFi was spotty and intermittent at the T head at the end of C dock.

Stayed at the yacht club for 2 nights on our way to Lake Champlain in late June. Everyone was very nice and helpful.
Vinnie was very helpful and explained where all the facilities were located. Pool was very nice to have since there was a 95 degree heat wave for the 2 days. Even-though not much was in walking distance we enjoyed the rest and the opportunity to do some boat chores and do some personal business. I am sure there are Uber's around. WIFI was better than most. Snack bar at pool has delicious sandwiches and snacks. Diesel is available at PANCO just across the river.View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer

Town of Edenton is a great small town. It is unfortunate the town has not kept up with maintenance of the marina. Some pilings are almost rotted through and there are several finger pier boards that are missing or rotted. Definitely a safety issue.

It appears that these docks are closed. There are signs posted and power pedestals are out of service. Stayed at Anchorage Inn Marina.

Arrived here early December 2018. We were the only boat at the marina so had the whole place to ourselves. Really classy place with high end club house with movie theater. Golf carts are available to explore the small town. Good seafood restaurant across the harbor.

We spent a week at Marlin Bay Yacht Club in early December 2018. Staff at the marina were the best. The facility is immaculate with great amenities. While we were here they were installing onSpot wifi. Pool was a perfect place to relax. Club house was very nice but access is available only during normal business hours. I highly recommend a stop here.

What a great marina. It is a small marina which makes it special as the staff is very attentive to the boater's needs. Carley and Mark are the best. They provided great local knowledge and were there when we needed any assistance. Very well kept and maintain facility with excellent westerly views for the sunsets. There is also a Pinchers restaurant on site. We stayed there a week at a very reasonable price. A must stop.
