Ensign Harbor Marina - AnonymousNov 19, 2019

We recently had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of waiting out a storm at the Ensign Harbor Marina and spending time with new owners, Lourdes and Todd Best. They were incredible hosts!!! If you are a transient sailor, we highly recommend you check this place out as you make your way along the ICW. You will feel welcomed and well cared for during your stay. It’s a beautiful place and quite safe to wait out a storm. The marina is part of their ten acres that will one day soon include horses. We are three months into a year living on our boat. We’ve stayed at a number of marinas and met countless people. You never know what you’ll experience when pulling into a new place. Well, Ensign Harbor Marina and owners, Lourdes and Todd Best, are certainly at the top of our list. Gems for sure!
