Leland Harbor is certainly one of the most beautiful harbors in Michigan. Long, sandy beaches stretch North and South of the Harbor, with Whaleback Natural Area Bluff framing the southern beach, and the spectacular, protected Clay Cliffs jutting up to the North. On the horizon you can see North and South Manitou Islands, of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The water is clear and refreshing for both boating, and swimming. Fishing is great in the Manitou Passage, as Leland is recognized as one of the best fishing ports in Michigan.
Leland Harbor is a full-service marina, owned and operated by Leland Township. The Harbor includes a public boat launch, and picnic area. Located next to Historic Fishtown ~ shopping, dining, lodging and beaches are just steps away. Plan to launch your boat, or come by sea ~ either way, you are going to love your time on the water in Leland!
Outstanding dock crew. Neil is a great, helpful person. After serving there for 7 years, he is most helpful for information. Great facilities, clean, and attractive. The marina is very walkouts Fishtown and area shops. The MadCap Coffee Shop is a great stop for some great coffee. We’ll be back again. Thanks Neil and crew!
Very modern marina. Staff couldn't be nicer. Lovely little town. Highly recommend!
Really great facility. Friendly, competent staff. Pricy for shoulder season. Good restaurants and grocery store walking distance. Good breakfast place too.
The Marina staff is friendly and helpful, and the facilities are well-maintained and clean. This is one of our favorite marinas in Western Michigan.
Leland was one of the nicest marinas we've stayed in. Staff was very friendly. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Location is perfect! I would highly recommend
Lovely marina with very helpful and friendly staff. Leland is a great little town, be sure to have lunch/dinner at The Cove.
Excellent location and great walking to town and Fishtown. Very clean facilities and helpful staff.
Marina and personal were awesome. Marina was clean, and downtown. All employees were knowledgeable and professional.
Nice marina with clean bathrooms and laundry. Cute town but small.
Very nice, helpful staff.
Great marina, restrooms, showers, boaters lounge, and beach, restaurants, shopping all within walking
Really nice small historic town, very nice marina with immaculate facilities and helpful and attentive staff.
The staff at Leland welfare so nice, accommodating and willing to help in any situation. Jeremy and Shay are great and a joy to deal with.
Always a pleasure to stay in Leland. The staff is great and we look forward to a return stay. Paul and Shae in particular.
Great staff, wonderful town, well maintained marina and clubhouse is very nice.
This is a beautiful spot and the marina is very good. As mentioned by others - a nice halfway point between Frankfort and Charlevoix. Dock hands are super helpful. Docks are floating with nice big cleats. No problem getting securely tied up. Town is immediately adjacent to the marina with quaint gift shops in Fishtown and also in Leland proper. Clean restrooms and showers all in good shape. I'd prefer a counter in the washroom rather than the stand alone ceramic sinks - there's not much space for your stuff. The entire marina building is very nice with a lounge, laundry, restrooms and several showers (I should have counted) Beaches on either side of the marina. We've stayed here many times for a night and one time for several when the lake didn't cooperate. One word of caution - don't fill your water tank here. There is a LOT of iron in the water. This is noted in the laundry (might stain your clothes) and we tied into the system and had rust stains in the morning from the small drip at the connection. As noted by others the channel in is narrow, give the end of the outer break wall plenty of clearance. We saw 8+ feet through the middle.
Everyone was super helpful. Great place to stay.
Great clean marina - best dock hands and support for docking - extremely helpful. One of the best!
The marina is in nice shape and the dock hands are friendly and competent. My two suggestions are: - have trash receptacles available not just the dumpster -the dock hands don’t start until 9:00 and leave at 5:00. I would at least ask they start at 8:00 for boats wanting fuel or a pump out before they leave.
Helpful staff, nice bathrooms,
Great marina, friendly and helpful staff.
Very nice. Good facilities. Great restaurants. The Cove. Rick’s
Fantastic facility, great staff, awesome dock hands. Well done
The staff was great and facilities in very good condition.
Excellent little marina! The staff were fantastic. Super friendly and helpful. Two dockhands were waiting at the dock as we pulled in, and assisted with all lines and power connection. Wonderful clubhouse with clean facilities. Look forward to returning soon!
Excellent staff. Knowledgeable, helpful, and courteous
We really enjoyed our stay at Leland Township Marina. The staff is excellent and friendly. The docks are in great shape. Laundry and shower facilities are excellent. The town is cute and don't miss getting fish at Carlson's near by!
Leland Township Harbor Marina is great example of how a marina should be run . . . Well trained friendly Dock Hand’s, great facilities (washers (2) and dryers (2)), restrooms and showers, Captains Lounge and conveniently located to restaurants and small Independant Mercantile for provisioning . . . Another great stop on the Western Michigan shoreline . . .
Excellent staff, docks, facility and town
We had a great stay at this beautiful harbor. The weather was not great on our arrival day and even though they really did not have a great spot for us, they were able to accomodate our early arrival. The entire staff was friendly and courteous for our entire stay. Quaint little town with excellent restaurants. We will definitely be back.
Excellent, clean facilities and great dock assistance
This is our second stay at Leland with the first being in 2019. Everything is just how we remembered it, it was worth a return visit. The dockhands were very helpful in getting tied up, the facilities were spotless and the wifi was pretty decent. We very much enjoy Leland/Fish Town and this stop did not disappoint. If I could give one recommendation to Leland harbor it would be to consider adding a "dinghy shuttle" service to get guests up on Lake Leelanau with tenders/dinghies. It would be a 100 yard two from the marina and would really open up the possibilities for boaters who bring tenders with them. We'd absolutely extend our stays in Leland if this type of service were available.
Staff is great. With lighthouse construction crews it’s very difficult to get in and out of the marina or docks.
Crew always know their job and how to accomplish it.
Outstanding people and place. Have been going there most years for the past 20. They facilitated me having a slip that worked for me. They were there with 3 people to help me land and took care of tie up and electrical. Greeted us to the marina and offered any assistance we might need after providing the building access fob and internet access information.
Always love Leland be it good or bad weather, and we had both. Best sunsets in NW Michigan.
Great marina & location! Facility, staff, docking, seawall & waterway are all wonderful. Thanks so much!
Outstanding Staff! Showers and baths newer and very clean. Nice little town with some shops and restaurants.
Great staff, very friendly and good set up for views at sunset. Electric pedestal was bad had to have a new breaker put in, but they got on it right away. Overall great experience!
Great Marina & Staff
What a wonderful marina. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Marina was very nice and clean. Can’t wait to visit again.
Really enjoy spending time here. Wonderful people to work with.
A nice facility with helpful and understanding staff.
Great marina coupled with very helpful team with Jeremy at the helm! One of my favorite stops each year. Great WiFi and facilities!
Had some boat problems and Jeremy saved the day! All the Staff was incredibly accommodating and cheerful
The staff were very helpful and friendly offering us assistance in a tight slip. Thank you.
Great marina, and marina team. Great docks and protected.
One of our favorite places. Clean and well maintained facilities, inside and out. Friendly and efficient dock hands, and within market conditions, reasonably priced fuel. A quick walk to Fish town and Leland. One of the most spectacular sunsets you’ll find anywhere.
The dock guys were amazing! Quick, efficient, helpful and flexible! What more could we ask for! Thank you!
Great service! Great place to go to. Never disappoints.
A very well run marina with well trained dock hands.
We had a great stay and Jeremy and his staff are amazing! Hospitable, personable and professional. We'll be back!
Great harbor, marina and small town with lots to do. Marina staff is excellent and always willing to help. Really nice beach and shopping. The sunsets are stunning!!!
All around great place
Beautiful town, with lots of shops and restaurants. Ate at the cove, delicious! Music was great at park. Can’t wait to go back and explore some more.
Great crew! Great facilities!! Great town to visit!!!
Always clean and perfect location. Plenty of activity on the dock last night with kids playing and fishing.
Great dock crew! Facilities clean and lounge comfortable. Would have been 5 stars but not as sheltered as expected for gale winds.
Pleasant stay again! Very accommodating and helpful.
58’ Hatteras - stayed here from July 3 - 5. Excellent amenities, interesting historic fishing village and a plethora of shops, golfing and wineries within a few miles of the Marina. The Marina staff is very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Safe Ride Sam for giving us a ride to the Boathouse Winery and delivering a few of our passengers to the airport.
Our stay excellent! The staff at Leland Harbor are true professionals. They understand what it takes to make boating great and it shows. We will be back!
Everything was perfect!
Great facilities and nice views.
Friendly helpful staff, clean facilities!
Would be a five if they had usable WiFi. Great staff, docks in good shape, clubhouse very clean. I was in slip b10 and although there was connectivity I had to switch to cellular, which was not very strong either.
Best little Marina on Lake Michigan. Leland is a great harbor town to visit.
The crew at Leland harbor are always great.
Great location in town. Walk to grocery, shops, ice cream and several great restaurants especially, Riverside Inn for amazing rib eye, The Cove for seafood chowder, and Bluebird for excellent pizza. Lovely community. The staff and dockhands at Leland Marina are great! Really nice boaters lounge and ablutions. Green Eyes and crew hope to return. -Scott and Tris Nordic Tug 26 Green Eyes
Beautiful little marina nestled among the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. A short walk to a quaint old fishing village with great restaurant. Amenities and staff were super! Thank-you!
dock staff, harbor master, facilities, all great. favorite marina
The marina crew were very couteous and helpful. Great shower and bathroom facilties.
Always a good stop. They are even working on making the grass better. Reasonable fuel prices for our area.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean facilities. The town area is fun to walk through too!
Absolutely love Leland! Great amenities and clean facilities. Very friendly service too!
Beautiful marina, beautiful town. Sadly our schedule changed and we were arriving on Sunday evening rather than Monday. A day prior to our Sunday arrival I emailed the marina (as directed in the reservation email) and did not hear back regarding the change request. Upon arrival we were not able to use the marina facilities / amenities. Kind of a bummer... /r H
the facility was “open”, but not fully ready. TV inlounge wouldn’t work, many pier lights were off as well as area lighting, no recycling bin, and worst of all, noone from the city was cleaning up the thousands of dead fish on the docks and loading ramp. Logan, worked hard and did a good job, but needed help. While there was not much traffic, boaters have a right toexpect it to be “open” fully when it is officially open.
One of our favorite stops on Lake Michigan. Small marina but had great docks, showers, and bathrooms. It is right on the lake but well protected from wind/waves and has an easy entry/exit. We are not a fan of the State of Michigan reservation system--its clunky and hard to navigate, so we chose to call to reserve a slip. We had no idea the marina often gets booked up far in advance. We were lucky as we were just a few days after the season’s rush but have heard other’s haven’t been as lucky and had to be turned away. Beautiful, quaint town with a great beach to watch the sunset. We biked to Sleeping Bear Dunes which was beautiful.
We stayed last night. The staff was very professional, helpful and friendly - especially Ben. He even offered to take a phot o of our group. The place was very clean. Docks are fairly easy to get in and out. They put my 54 footer in a 45 ish slip and I was sticking out, but they made other slips were empty across from me. Super nice docks. Leland is a nice laid back community to stay. ##Please note the pictures attached to this are NOT current. They must be from 5+ years ago.
This was the nicest harbor that we stayed at on our July 2014 Northern Michigan adventure. The facilities are all modern and the Harbor master was a friendly as they get with lots of good info about the town and nearby ports. The town was very charming and we had an excellent white tablecloth meal at The Riverside Inn. The picture needs to be updated on Marinas.com.
Talk about going the extra mile, these folks were helpful and easy going. A storm was brewing and they were working on finding a place for everyone. When I called to make reservations they did not think that necessary, but the storm apparently made difference. Unfortunately we arrived late in the afternoon and they had dropped my reservation. Up to date, clean, very easy to get to. These folks know how to deal with a storm.
The NEW marina is far better than the old. The new floating docks and facilities are excellent and are as good as anywhere on the Great Lakes. The staff is well selected and well run. The operation is a great comination of facilites, staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Got socked in here for two days in June and enjoyed the stay. Nice little town with great restaurants. Only the Marina.com pics need updating. Nothing else needs changing. Ron - Troy, MI - m/y Pouting Girl
