    I am familiar with both the staff and the facilities at this marina. They are very professional and provide expert docking and cordial accommodation to boaters that may transit this area. The facility is clean, and accessible, the service area is well stocked and very knowledgeable, and in my estimation provides good value in an era where service is not what it used to be.

    Very good Marina. The owners and staff are very accommodating, The fuel dock is easy to access. The entryway is a little restricted, but as long as a boat isn't transiting out, it is easy to enter. Parts and supplies are available and the people are knowledgeable.

    This inlet is accessible on a rising tide for vessels drawing 30" to 35" . Weather and winds are important factors and crossing Great Bay into the Mullica River should only be done on a flooding tide. Extreme care should be taken to avoid shoaling marked by breakers. The optimum course to enter transit the inlet is +/- 280 degrees Mag. and then intersect the ICW once inside the inlet.
