Docking on the inside when there's a west wind, like today, has a downside. We're at low tide and I have about 4" showing above my hull waterline. We're a 3.5' draft. We are firmly grounded. One two boat slip further down the dock had mud showing 2 hours ago between the boats. Jekyll is a great stop and we've always enjoyed the stop, but this is our first time on the inside.

If Beaufort NC is on your itinerary, Homer Smith is the marina to stay in. Floating docks, short walk into historic Beaufort, new lounge and restrooms which are very clean, 3 new washers & driers with no charge and a courtesy car. Dock master Dan is most helpful insuring your safe arrival and departure.

It's difficult to add good comments about Aqua Yachts, but this marina accommodates Loopers maintenance issues better than any we've come across. We along with others while we were there had some things fixed. Unlike other marinas who are too busy, they find a way to fit you in.

I would rate this marina higher if it were not for asking for periodic maintenance on IPS drives. Boat was there for just over a month and my hour and a half maintenance was apparently too much for their schedule. For maintenance I would consider them not very transient friendly. We are Loopers. The facilities are very good and nearby town is a terrific stop. As previous comments have said, the nearby maritime museum with tours of the submarine Cobia is well worth the visit. They also have a homemade chocolate store at Beerntsen's Confectionery within walking distance.

Marina facilities have been redone and is one of the best if not the best on the Hudson we've seen. Laundry has new machines and is included with slip fee. Has individual shower rooms with a toilet and each each as handicap bar. The one thing we've not seen is a kitchen that is fully equipped with everything, including spices, except the food. Has two tables seating 6. Marina staff are extremely helpful and yes Yanni's is on site.
