Marina Review for Dog River Marina and Boat Works Inc.

A friendly, helpful, and efficient dockhand working alone handled four of us arriving within minutes of each other and closing time yet he still managed to smile - The laundry room has one washer and one dryer but all loopers seemed to manage their time. One shower and two water toilet rooms are shared by guests. No amenities (grocery/ restaurants,)are within walking distance, however, Walmart did deliver even the wine!

Anchorage Review for Crow Creek

October 24, 2024, we stopped here for the night in perfect weather conditions. The anchor held in 19 feet of water with a slight current. North or South winds would not have protection in this anchorage. We have t-mobile service and no need to shore access.

Marina Review for Green Turtle Bay Resort (Boat Works)

We were very disappointed. We were assigned slip J -1 (Jetty). There was NO help and No communication. The restaurant was closed, and One of the three washers was broken, however, the laundry room was clean.
Upon arrival we asked Robin if someone would meet us on the dock to help - she said NO we have one person and he is helping the boaters on the transit dock.
We arrived at our assigned slip only to discover another boat in the slip. We called Robin back and were told - You will just have to wait - because that boat should have been moved earlier in the day. 20 minutes later four guys appeared to remove the boat, without an offer to help us with docking. The cover of the electric box fell off when lifted to attach to the power. The J dock walkway has been neglected and needs repair.
Walking from the Jetty docks is indeed a half mile and you must go through the boat maintenance yard.
I asked if there was any dock space closer and was hit with an attitude from Robin that she could place me even further and we would have to dinghy in.... The one service perk we did use was the courtesy car. We were told to drop the key in the mailbox when we returned because it would be after hours. Inside the van, we found a driver's license, feeling uncomfortable leaving someone's license in an open box I met Robin at 7:55 am to hand her the key and license. She snarled - we are not open yet - I just hope she made an effort to return the driver's license we found. We paid for a resort, but we felt cheated. If you receive confirmation that you are on the J dock, I suggest you cancel your reservation and go elsewhere.

Anchored in 9 feet of water, a strong hold in mud, shared the anchorage with 5 sailboats and 2 motor boats. Very light boat traffic as it was a weekday. Watched the ferry load and unload visitors on the island.

We entered this cove as the other reviewers stated R112 marker and shared this anchorage with one boat. Anchor held tight in 8.1 feet of water for two nights. While we were here tide range was less than a foot. There are few fishing boats throughout the day and total silence after sunset.
