I was here due to engine troubles and as a result ended up stuck here for Hurricane Laura. This was a devastating storm which damaged houses and hotels all around the area. This little marina, although sustained damage, I thought did remarkably well. A great little hide away and my boat sustained ZERO damage from the storm. Lets hope she survives the aftermath!!!!

Great place. They pulled my boat out so I could change props.

One of the best boatyard experiences I’ve had in forty years. We are traveling from Corpus Christi to Norfolk Virginia and hauled out here after hitting a submerged log. They hauled right on time, blocked the boat better than I’ve ever seen and had the props off in minutes. Referred me to Toups Propeller who was equally professional and friendly. Both of these businesses were started in 1938. Professional, cost competitive and SUPER FRIENDLY. Our entire experience in Lake Charles has been wonderful.
