We kept our 41' sailboat at Brick Cove for 4 years (winter/summer). The good: lots of "character" and charm; folks who operate are good-hearted people, as are the boat-owners. The bad: not qualified for any serious boat repairs or problem-solving (especially sailboats); new private equity owners care solely about pumping up the curb appeal (and near-term top-side revenue) for a sale to the highest bidder; after increasing prices +40%, only superficial improvements were made to attract locals to weekend events; channel needs to be dredged; pool needs to be repaired and reopened; ABYC-certifications could improve service capabilities; old travel lift needs to be replaced; emergency ladders need to be installed on docks (to exit water in case of accidental swim); dock lights and electrical need to be repaired and maintained more regularly. Good for center-console fishing boats or sailboats under 30 feet; anything bigger should at least be old enough that minor dings and scratches aren't a concern, and major issues can be dealt with by owner (or elsewhere).
