Basically this is a nice marina but in transition. There are three sets of docks; RED, WHITE and BLUE. Red and Blue are floating docks while White is not and shows signs of aging and is in need of repair but if they are eventually going to make white a floating dock I can see the reason not to spend too much money on it’s present condition. I’m not saying that they are unsafe. I requested a slip on the outside perimeter so that we could see the wonder views of the surrounding areas. This was a bit of a mistake on my part because the slip was for a boat much large than my 32 foot sailboat, so much so that we couldn’t rig stern lines to the pillings because they were too far behind us. If I did move the boat back towards them my 120 shore power cord couldn’t reach the outlet. But we made do with some creative dock line setups. Part of the dock rubber trim with protruding screws were sticking out and did make contact with the hull without damage. I pushed this trim back into place on the dock but this is part of what I meant by the docks needed repair. The dock boards were very wore also. It’s a long walk to the bathroom/showers so keep that in mind if you stay in a perimeter slip. The bathrooms are OK, basic and have a light switch that’s set to go off in 20 minutes. It’s really not enough time and the light went off each time I was in the showers which required me to step out and find the switch again in the almost dark room. The Passages Bar and Grille is only a bar now (closed because we were there early in the season) but there is a fantastic restaurant called the Blue Heron which is a ten minute walk away that was superb. The marina is a decent place to stay if nothing else is available IMO. Also we were at Haven Harbor North and the is also a Haven Harbor South (previously Sailing Emporium), as the locals called them, which makes things a bit confusing. Aa name change to one of them is in order IMO.
