Love the new dock flooring! Wish they had internet for people renting a dock space.

Marina Response:
Hi Terri, Thank you for taking the time to give us a review, we love hearing that people enjoyed their stay. Internet is something that we have looked into, unfortunately it is too costly to install now. Hopefully, this will be a project that we can take on in the next couple of years. Hope to see you again in the future! - Joey

We really enjoy staying at Pettibone, but our last visit was marred by common issues that seemingly has no fix. Upon arrival our slip was occupied by another large cruiser. Apparently we were both assigned this large slip, but we would not fit. Other transient slips for cruisers were occupied by day boats who were visiting the restaurant … tied off in front of the large “ reserved for over night guests only “ signs. We found the only empty transient slip and tied off. After talking with marina, we were told we could tie off on the dock with large boat ( not long enough for us both ) or we had to move to another slip as someone else had a reservation for the slip we were in. Too top it off, our dual 30 amp service kept tripping breakers and we could only run one half of our electrical service. It was a pretty frustrating experience.

Marina Response:

Only thing that would be nice is if there was WiFi available in the Marina

Marina Response:
Hi Scott, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Public WiFi throughout the marina is something that we continue to consider getting. However at this time the cost install it throughout entire marina is to cost prohibitive for us to consider. We hope to see you again in the future! - Joey Operations Manager Pettibone Boat Club
