We were blown away by the exceptional hospitality at this marina! From the moment we arrived at the fuel dock, the staff went above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience. The young team members expertly secured our boat and facilitated a simultaneous fueling process. Joe took the time to educate them on proper pumping procedures, demonstrating a commitment to excellence.
We had the pleasure of meeting General Manager Carrie Reid and Skyler, who exemplified the marina's dedication to customer satisfaction. Although a planned lake excursion was cancelled due to weather, the marina generously hosted a barbecue for participants and invited us to join.
The restaurant offered breathtaking views of the marina, which boasts approximately 700 slips. We were impressed by the marina's well-maintained facilities, including clean and sturdy pedestals. The fuel prices were also very competitive.
We highly recommend this marina as a must-visit destination for anyone traveling up or down the Wisconsin coast. The exceptional service, amenities, and stunning views make it an unforgettable stop.View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer

Nice place to land for an evening. We missed having someone to grab a line from the dock. The 70' slips need a few more cleats for heavy winds. The store was nice and the people friendly.
The best part was getting a limo ride from the restaurant, Blue's Landing, and experiencing an incredible meal with friendly staff and the owner, Mark Berg, was fantastic! Watch for him in the upcoming movie, Blood River Reckoning! Blue's Landing was our best dining experience along the river! Call for a ride and a great experience +1 (731) 407-4926!View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer

A quaint little marina, and a great place to Tuckaway off of the main channel. There's room for three or four big boats along a skinny wobbly dock. The marina is a two-story on top of a barge with a bar and restaurant on top. The food was great (we had shrimp skewers and jalapeño hush puppies) and the restaurant was full of people. The people were awesome; kind and welcoming. Barry, known as Bear, is the owner, and was very accommodating! The cost was a dollar a foot and they have some tasty iced alcoholic drinks in the store along with a huge variety of quality T-shirts at a great price! There is nothing fancy to be had here, but some really great people. You can sit along the dock and talk to some of the old-timers and hear all the stories about the RV garages along the river and whatever else is happening. If you're there around July 4 there is $1000 prize for a bikini contest and the old guys told us "they come out yeah of the woodwork for that thousand dollars!"

Lowest fuel price in the river! Greeted by the affable Billy Bougus who tied our lines, handled the fuel lines, and gave us the scoop on the marina and it's expansion!
We will definitely stop and spend some time there in the future!View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer

Seth and his wife (I think) met us at the dock and helped us land and tie up in a strong wind! Pump out at each slip worked beautifully, just let the pump run for 10 minutes prior to connecting.
The best part….a 2 block walk to GENE'S OYSTER BAR! The only thing frozen is the French fries! Walter and Jeffrey shuck the oysters right in front of you while Ann. The owner for 30+years chats up the locals! Don't miss! The Grouper, grits and chowders were delicious along with their homemade sauces!View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer
