The staff was so friendly and the bathrooms were immaculate. Excellent restaurant. However, this is a fisherman’s marina and absolutely not sailboat friendly. The docking situation is poor at best for a sailboat. Also extremely shallow water.
Staff very nice and helpful. Ideal location! The marina caters to power boats, the boats are packed pretty tight for a sailboat’s maneuverability. The bathrooms were also pretty dirty.
We have stayed at this marina several times over the past few years and have always had a good experience. This year we understand the marina is closed to transient boaters due to Covid so we found a marina close by. However, we found ourselves low on gas and needed 3 gallons which would have gotten us to the next gas stop. The marina we were at recommended we call Dodson, so I did. I explained we would walk from the marina we were staying at. We would be fully masked and gloved. We just needed to purchase 3 gallons of fuel so we could get to a our next stop. Dodson refused to help us. Over the years, we have happily given Dodson our business. We have spent money at the marina and the restaurant. We weren't asking for a hand out, we would have happily paid premium for the 3 gallons we needed. We will never return to Dodson and will never recommended Dodson. We are beyond disappointed.
I can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was at Mystic Downtown Marina. The Dockmaster, Brian, was so friendly and helpful! The marina is clean, accommodating and close to downtown. Everything is in walking distance! We were only going to stay for one night but chose to extend our visit an extra night specifically because the marina was amazing! Sending some extra love to the marina cat, Blackjack!
