We love Safe Harbor Aqua Yacht. Always available with fuel and pump out, and a place to stay when we are coming through the area. They try to make it easy on you whether just grabbing lines, pumping gas, emptying your tanks or just letting you know what’s going on in the area. Easy access to their fuel dock. Laundry, showers Wi-Fi.

Reservation was easy thru dockwa. Extended one day via dockwa message. Arranged service 1 week ahead. Service arrived on time and was terrific. Parts inventory was exceptional.

The staff was excellent, they worked on 5 "boat issues" and got them all done on time (AIS power was intermittent, oil pressure sending units, generator issues, install a shower box and prop change); simply an outstanding group of people and a great marina.

The people here are amazingly friendly. We have used the free marina car more than once for provisions and an outing. The service department (I believe Dennis leads that while Greg did great work) fixed a leaking oil line. If the restrooms were positioned closer to the transient/fuel pier and maybe more of them this place would be amazing place. We really enjoyed our stay. In fact have have had to extend due to a late delivery of a needed part.

Great stay! The service was great, our slip down on the main docks was excellent and very sheltered. Good services overall. All of the staff was friendly especially the Fuel Dock attendant. Thanks for the use of the courtesy van, we had a great time! Update: 11/2023 - We are on our second Loop and enjoyed another great stay at Aqua Yacht. The team here is excellent, good facilities, and the community feel is wonderful. A special thanks to Charlie & Robin Mcvey the harbor hosts here at Aqua Yacht!

We had an excellent 2-day stay at Safe Harbor Aqua Yacht. The Service Dept provided me with some much needed parts and the parts they didn't have they sourced at a local auto shop and loaned me a vehicle to go pick up. They truly went above and beyond! All the staff were friendly and helpful.

The harbor master ‘Randy’ is so welcoming & friendly! Fuel was lowest around ($4.64 diesel) & free pump outs!! Docks are great too!!! After the loopers were all parked (D dock), Randy came down to make sure we were all settled in ok and asked if we needed anything. ❤️ We had dinner at the onsite restaurant (grilled catfish Po boy, SO GOOD!!!)! We finished the night at the end of D dock where they have a great seating area for transients!! I highly recommend this marina!!

Very well-run marina and boatyard. Lovely pool and fun restaurant. The staff at AY is very friendly and accomodating. I spent 11 days on the transient dock waiting on a crew change. Had work done-- new windlass motor and replaced a breaker in the control panel. The transient docks takes a lot of wake on the weekend so fender up!

Service department was great! Nice marina and people were helpful. Would have been 5 star except the following: bathrooms were far away, I know it’s off season in Nov, but seemed a little understaffed on docks, and although it’s great they have courtesy vehicle it was on a first come first serve basis and you couldn’t sign up for a time slot - very frustrating. Overall would recommend, especially if you need to get your boat serviced.

No answer on radio or phone for slip assignment or fuel. Waited almost 2 hours tied to fuel dock for attendant to return from lunch. No assistance with docking. Fuel is extremely more expensive than all other marinas since Chicago. Only bright point was courtesy car and Freddy Ts up the road.

We would like to thank you for staying with us at Safe Harbor Aqua Yacht in this very busy transient season. We apologize for your wait and are very happy that you were able to use the courtesy vehicle to dine out. As the summer ends, our seasonal staff leaves to return to school so we appreciate your patience as the team is getting acclimated and staffed back up. We hope you visit us again in the future!

Very understaffed - only one person at fuel dock - didn’t answer radio or phone. Tied ourselves up, did our own pump out. Dock hand started fueling- I finished up. Docks in good shape, good electric and water. Nice restaurant on the grounds. Permanent slip folk very friendly.

Wow! Beautiful marina! We were transients for one night. The restaurant has great food! Make sure to try the catfish filets if you’re into that! Also, we travel with our little dog. The restaurant allows dogs on the patio and brings out a pail of water for Fido:).

Internet service was poor. Restaurant was closed. One sink in women's restroom did not drain. We did manage to get a courtesy car for a grocery run to Pickwick Market early the morning we left, but had to get the entry gate code from other boaters. Infact, the advice, help and cameraderie with other boaters was the best thing about this overnight stop!

They had my small boat at a dock taking a beating from high boat traffic. The dock master on his way home, saw our dilemma. He took the time unprompted to get us a better slip. Very good service. Thx

Clean and well run facility. Courtesy car for errands is very helpful. Restaurant had fun atmosphere and good food. Called the ship store for a needed supply-- they didn't carry it, but called back a few minutes later and said they could order and get it in a few hours. That was an unexpected surprise.

Nice facility. The transient dock is clean & in very good condition. We had dinner at the marina restaurant. The food was good but not great. On a Sunday, our only real contact was Bryant at the gas dock. He was helpful & pleasant.

The staff is great. The pumpout is very good. The only irritating thing about the marina management is that they accept and allow power cords throughout the marina to be permanently draped in the water. They also need to have a marine electrician go thru the electrical system along the transient dock, especially around 18-20. And check for everything, not just voltage. To many boats, including mine in july, have had issues connecting. If they want to make this a big transient dockage and protect the fuel dock, then they need to work with the state and put in a break water.

Transient dock was rocking and rolling. WiFi and cell service were bad. Good rate, good courtesy car.

Marina Response:
Thank you for staying with us. I'm sorry you didn't have good wifi and cell service. ATT works best in this area. If you have Verizon or another service then it's not as good. The wifi has been holding up good so I'm not sure why it didn't work well yesterday. We had over 30 boats in transient yesterday and a few of them came in hot causing wakes at time on the transient dock. I hope you have a safe day of travels. Rodney GM
