Réal rip off. They offer nothing other than a very basic restaurant with no menu. You get what they serve. No other service. No laundry. no wifi. No bathroom or shower. Yet the charged $4 a foot. the place was empty. No wonder

Sweet spot. Probably room for about 5 boats. Lots of good sand for holding. Good protection from the north. LTE 2 bars.

What a beautiful anchorage. Although charts don't show it, stay further east to avoid small plane traffic. There is a small runway. We had to move once we saw planes too close.

This is a great yacht club but as such they only take members of other reciprocal yacht clubs.

Really important to know… they have automated their reservation system. You will get one email confirming your reservation but then Look for a second welcome email (in your junk mail possibly) that gives you all the information about gate codes, etc to access their services. The email will also tell you which mooring to pick up.

What a great place for a sailing vessel. We had 20 feet after entering. Follow instructions carefully. We were one of 5 boats with lots of room. Current was minimal.

If you require more than 4' at low tide, stay away. We attempted 3 times, different directions / angles. Went from 10' to 4.2' within seconds. Ran aground three times. We gave it a good college try.

What a great place to anchor for the night. Take your dingy up the Calabash River. Great waterfront Oyster Rock bar and restaurant. What a sweet discovery. Great staff.

Don't often review but this one's worth it. Best marina on our ICW travels so far. Was greeted at the dock by my name. Laundry was free. They lent us their car to get groceries. Filled up our propane tanks. Had amazing assistance docking. Wonderful people. Great facility. Even enjoyed their BBQ Grills . Thank you to all that made our stay so enjoyable and easy.
