Marina was small and the dock seemed to be extremely old but the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. If going for a quick stop for gas or other supplies I would highly recommend. I wouldn't recommend staying the night. Even in mid December the flies were terrible.

Arrived at the marina just 30 minutes prior to closing. The dock hand was extremely polite and helpful in getting our craft tied up. Made contact with the lady at the front desk. Not only was she extremely professional and knowledgeable but she was incredibly nice as well. Asked about a few places nearby to eat and we were given a courtesy car to use. When asked if we had to be back before they closed she said just keep the car and turn the key in whenever you're done. We went out and enjoyed a sit down meal at a restaurant she recommended called Castaways. Good food and atmosphere. Returned to the marina and enjoyed a long hot shower in one of two private bathrooms which were obviously old but very clean. Overall we would most definitely stay here again. A++

Bridge comment on Causton Bluff (Sam Varnedoe) Bascule Bridges

The Bridge Tender at Causton Bluff was extremely rude and acted as though we were an inconvenience. Then he began lowering the Bridge before we were through, I'm assuming in an attempt to rush us.
