Portside Marina

Wonderful experience as usual! Can't beat the exceptional staff. Especially Jack ,River, and Joe!

Very clean showers/bathrooms. Excellent dock hands. Great location downtown.

Hard working and helpful dockhands; clean restrooms/showers & and a convenient bar.

We had a great time! Loved the new private baths!

Portside was extremely accommodating, clean and a great location. So excited to book next April for Summer of 2020!

Upon arrival, we experienced a dock completely covered in bird excrement, impossible to find a clean spot on which to step. It appeared all other docks, which were closer to the marina, had been cleaned prior to our arrival. Many of these docks were vacant and appeared available during our two-night stay. We ended up cleaning our own dock. The combination of dirty dock and being on a dock farthest from the marina made for a less than pleasant experience. In the past we had pleasant experiences and enjoyed our stays at Portside Marina, we just wanted to pass this on to hopefully prevent other boaters from such an experience.

Great facilities. Close to everything you’ll need. Very helpful staff.

Had a great time. Watched Jaws on the water. Crew did a good job. Marina showers and restrooms clean. All around great place.

Awesome 5 star Service from dock hands, to the office, restaurant/bar staff, and the owners. Bravo !!

Very nice, two items would turn it into a 5 star experience. First, allow overnight boaters to pay for a cart in advance to have one there. We are already paying more than the average Joe to be there, don't leave us without a cart. The other thing is to turn up the hot water for the shower rooms. I went in the evening, luke warm all the way on hot, I chalked it up to a busy time. I went in the morning at 5am before anyone and got the same result.

Great transient marina with a very helpful and friendly crew!

The docks are nice, good power and centrally located. Clean facilities and helpful staff.

Marina staff was very friendly, helpful and professional. I cannot say the same for Miss Maggy’s (which they own) and you can rent golf carts at a discount with your stay. The woman renting the cart was very rude - the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Had a great meal at the onsite restaurant, Dockers - get the bruschetta. Shower rooms were very clean!

Agreed the marina can be tight in the wind, but I have never been to a better marina. The Dockhands are fantastic at helping you in and out. The office staff, are helpful & the friendliest I have ever come across. Docker's restaurant has the greatest food on the island and the view can't be beat. The new bathrooms are the best on the great Lakes. If you travel you must stop here.

Put me in a dock slip that was almost too narrow...especially on a windy day. Boat rocked all night because of the opening to the marina. The staff was great. Very professional.

Great staff!!! The new jet docks are absolutely the best addition the this marina. Great improvements every time we stay.

Marina is tight (not very much room for maneuvering) for larger boats. We collided due to insufficient room to (not very much damage, most to our boat) - 42 foot sailboat. Another sailboat in our group (mid - 30 foot) contacted the anchor (about head height of a standing crewmember) of a large powerboat. Again, not much damage, but was very dangerous. Also, very uncomfortable with any type of southerly wind. The breakwall is not effective in limiting the wave surge.
