LoonAsea was very hospitable. The dock workers helped us tie up and they were very attentive. my only issue is that we never get a dock space number with Dockwa. dockwa is a great app to use very easy like I said the only thing we didn’t get was a dock space every time that we go there so
LoonAsea Marina & Restaurant is a fantastic waterfront destination that combines great dining with a welcoming marina experience. The dock staff are friendly, attentive, and always willing to lend a hand, making arrivals and departures stress-free. The restaurant offers a fun atmosphere with live music, excellent drinks, and a menu that has something for everyone, making it an ideal stop whether you're arriving by boat or by car. (Uber to Batlimore about $30). The marina provides convenient amenities including shore power, water, Wi-Fi, showers, and pump-out services, making it a comfortable overnight destination for transient boaters. While some of the docks and bathhouse facilities could benefit from updates, the exceptional service and lively waterfront atmosphere more than make up for it. If you're looking for a marina with great food, entertainment, and a friendly boating community, LoonAsea is well worth the visit. Just keep in mind that weekends can be lively, especially during live music events, so those seeking a quieter overnight stay may prefer visiting during the week.
Water valve leaked profusely when the dock hands hooked us up but we had sufficient water pressure for a one night stay so we overlooked it. We enjoyed our day at the dock and restaurant but when we returned to the boat around 7:00 p.m. one of the 30 amp lines had lost power, which meant no AC. Dock hands said they checked their breakers and were certain it was not their power problem but a problem on our end, which seemed odd because one of the 30 amp outlets worked but not the other, so we left the slip by 8:00 p.m. to return home. Fortunately, the power worked perfectly when we reconnected at our home slip. We lost the overnight stay we paid for and, more importantly, listening to some more great music, and stressed some on the way home that we may be looking at a significant electrical problem. Very relieved when we hooked up at our dock that we did not have an expensive repair problem but it was frustrating that we had to leave and missed the rest of our stay. Hopefully, LoonAsea will fix their dock water and power issues.
We had a great time!! Definately do it again. The Marina amenities were really nice.
I stay here frequently. They have a lot of live bands- both indoors and outdoors. Excellent accommodations with unmatched hospitality. Food is top notch and prices are average. One of my favorite places to relax!
