About
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!

Be careful in slip 10. There are some sharp metal pieces reinforcing the dock that did some minor damage to our boat. We arrived at 4:30 and left early in the morning so we didn't meet any of the staff but they were friendly and efficient on the phone. Entrance is shallow so be careful coming into the harbor. A bit pricey compared to other marinas in the area but a good stop off for a transient trip.
Staff were very helpful, especially with landing and departing from a very tight slip! We've sailed here from southern Wisconsin a half dozen times over the years and have consistently been pleased with the marina and staff. Fishtown is always busy but even as old retired sailors we enjoy the vibe.
The marina staff is incredibly helpful and they were fun to hang out with for the last/best weekend of the summer. It was a quick trip for 3 days, but it was well worth it to end September on a high note and Leland marina made it GREAT!
Very nice facilities. Probably the best point to start off or end on a run to/from Baileys Harbor (unless you're anchoring at South Manitou).
Leland Township Marina never fails to please. The only possible negative is that it is located in Fishtown, a popular tourist destination. As dock access is not restricted, tourists wander the docks and your boat becomes one of the tourist attractions.
Beautiful facility. Great location. Walking distance to town and beach! Very nautical location
Staff was exceptionally, Excellent staff. Knowledgeable, helpful, and courteous
Marina staff is highly trained and extremely courteous. Marina is very clean and maintained. Love this marina and harbor master Jeremy.
Excellent. Accommodating. Super helpful docking. Friendly. Courteous. Wonderful. The very best marina in the Great Lakes due to the great people. Thank you. On our way home port to Sister Bay this morning.
Great service, very nice bath house and close to town. The harbormaster and his team were very nice and extremely helpful. The ease of reserving a slip was also good.
One of the many wonderful marinas we stayed at in Michigan. The staff at Leland were very professional and helpful. VERY nice boaters lounge. We will be back!
Very friendly and helpful staff, beautiful and clean facilities including a spacious boaters lounge. Even though it was very busy with several arriving boats, they were able to assist us with our dock lines.
This was our first time staying at the marina in Leland; what a hidden gem. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The facilities were impeccably clean and it was nice to be within walking distance of some great food and shopping. We had a wonderful time and will certainly be returning again soon.
This was such a wonderful marina with a great staff. We we're only going to stay for one night but the weather turned on us and the staff made all of the arrangements for us to stay an additional night. This quaint little town had everything.... great restaurants, grocery store and even a bourbon/vodka tasting.
They never disappoint! Great facility, very gracious people and extremely helpful. Have visited 3 timesthis season and will visit often next season as well.
we had a great visit. the marina staff was very helpful, and facilities super clean.
What a wonderful harbor! So small and quaint. It really reminded me of a New England fishing village. The marina was really nice and well maintained and clean. Everything was so convenient. Shoaling can be an issue at the mouth of the harbor into the marina, however, they have a dredger right there in the marina so that means they are about maintaining a navigable entrance! We only stayed one night - and we are sad about that as the town, shops, shoreline, trails, etc., are worth taking your time to explore.
Beautiful rest rooms/showers/lounge. The Cove is one of our favorite restaurants.
The harbor master and dock hands were incredibly attentive. We would have given our stay a 5-star rating except that the Wi-Fi service was terrible! We could not do much with our phones, even trying to look for eating opportunities nearby.
Great facilities and docks. Helpful staff. Interesting little town.
Easy approach, docks in good condition, excellent docking assistance. Very nice boaters lounge, clean restrooms, individual showers. Town is close for shopping, restaurants and provisions.
Great place to visit very clean facilities and walking distance to everything you could need! Leland is a quaint and artistic town!
We love the town of Leland. I’m sad that the marina seems to be going down hill a bit. It’s just not as clean or well maintained as it has been in the past. We came in one night because of bad weather and there was a 50th birthday party being celebrated on the dock. The party kept on going strong after quiet hour - with blaring music and loud voices and laughter. The partygoers took over a section of dock in the dark in front of their boat which required us to walk in the dark through the chairs lined up on both sides of the dock. The noise didn’t subside until after 1 am. The website and check-in email details did not provide an after hours phone number and I couldn’t see us directly confronting 10-15 drunken people without the authority to do so. I was tired and disappointed.
Great facilities and exceptional restrooms and lounge building. My disappointment was upon arrival at 4:30 on a Friday, all the staff appeared to be gone for the day. 5 different people were fishing on the marinas docks. There was also a birthday party held on the dock in front of a boat with cooking, music and drinking. It went past dark. I counted 16 people and it wasn’t nearby boaters rather guests. Marinas I’m familiar with don’t allow either scenarios.
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.
Great place to stay. The dock hands were very helpful getting us in and the location is very convenient to town. Highly recommended.
Excellent experience! Harbormaster Jeremy is friendly, professional, and accommodating and his dock hands are just the same. Scenic location right in the center of town. A must stay harbor for anyone traveling the west coast of Michigan!
Outstanding. The staff was great and knew what they are doing. The facility was beautiful
The dock hands were terrific. Beautiful clean marina in a great setting!
Always a great experience at Leland Marina. Dock crews are the best!
Very nice marina. Docks and utilities in good condition. Beautiful bath house and lounge with laundry. And 50 yards from historic Fishtown and Leland Main Street (M22). Two staff members on the dock helping us get tied up was much appreciated. Would definitely love to return.
From the moment we arrived the crew took great care of us. I just can’t say enough about this marina and its staff. It’s at the top of my list of harbors to stay at. I’ll be telling everyone about my time there! Five Stars all the way!!!
The Marina staff is very friendly and helpful, and the facilities are well-maintained and clean. Also a short walk from historic Fish Town and the city of Leland itself. This is one of our favorite marina destinations in Western Michigan.
Jeremy and crew were beyond helpful!!
Always a pleasure to stay at Leland Marina. Clean, convenient and helpful dock hands
The marina is nice and clean and very convenient to all the local attractions. The staff were great and very helpful. I wasn’t happy about our slip as it didn’t feel appropriate for our size boat given the fairway width and other infringing boats. Overall it was still a good experience.
Crew always know their job and how to accomplish it. Clean marina. Friendly. WiFi only works well very early or very late when bandwidth fits demand. Lovely town.
Great! Good dock hands and very clean facilities.
Great marina. The dock hands were so helpful. Nice little town.
The deck hands at this marina are the best we’ve ever had. Polite and professional. Be careful with the water doing laundry though. There was a water problem the night before I did two loads and I ended up with a lot of rust stains on the clothing and towels.
Nice and clean Marina Friendly stuff Excellent amenities
Excellent! One of our favorite destinations. Staff is amazing, super clean facilities, look forward to our next visit
Great town. Clean and welcoming with easy to walk to stores and restaurants. Lots of entertainment at night. Small grocery store within block of Marina with plenty of provisions. Marina and facilities were extremely clean and staff accommodating and welcoming!!
This is our third stay at Leland. We love the marina. Everything is clean and staff are accommodating and welcoming and plentiful. The town is adorable and easy to walk. We highly recommend visiting this harbor.
Great staff, spotless updated facilities, beautiful setting. Harbormaster went out of his way to help when our engine failed. Great fun time! Thank you Leland harbor!
Perfect! You have the best staff! We can't thank you enough!
Beautiful marina and incredible service. Three dock hands met us when we came in because of conditions and they were there to assist departure.
Great staff and very helpful. Very busy harbor.
Wonderful little town and a very nice, clean friendly marina. The dockmaster is absolutely outstanding!
Well maintained docks and pumpout service. Enjoyed the use of clean gas grilles, and the very best restrooms/showers. Dock hands were all very professional and helpful. Dock hands assisting with lines while docking were some of the best trained we've experienced - this is always helpful, and a great first impressions when arriving.
Marina is well run and offers outstanding views into Lake Michigan and the Manitou islands. Friendly and capable staff support a great harbor master.
I was very impressed with the efficiency of the staff and friendly people. Thank you very well done!
Very nice and clean. Very friendly. Great harbor.
Great stay at Leland. A favorite of ours every year, the crew there always takes great care of us and is extremely helpful.
We had a great time on our recent visit to Leland Harbor. Great little town. Beautiful water and views of the Sleeping Bear Dunes and Manitou islands. Great harbor master with a wonderful staff. Best dock hands in this area. Love this harbor and little town.
The Harbor Master and all Staff were exceptionally helpful and met every boat at their dock to help land in windy conditions.
Fantastic stay as always. Dockhands were fantastic and the facilities were spotless.
Great marina, very friendly staff, clean bathrooms
Clean facilities and helpful staff. Easy to walk to shops and restaurants.
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.
They are the best! The whole staff and amenities make this a favorite for many! We love it here ⛵
Very windy conditions and tough docking situation was made doable by the entire staff at the harbor. Much appreciated help.
The most helpful dock hands we ever had. That crew is great. Bravo Zulu!
Super narrow slip, couldn’t get in and out of with out bashing the side of the boat
Nice marina. Experienced, polite dock hands. handy amenities. Great location with restaurants, grocery, and shopping within 1-2 blocks. One of our favorite marinas in Michigan!
Clean, helpful, great town, but needs more restaurants.
"Leland is a State of Mind"... What a great town and harbor. We have cruised, for 30+ years, on Lake Michigan. Leland is our favorite harbor and town. We have the most respect for all personal in the harbor. The harbor deck hands and harbor master are the most accomplished group that we encounter. Looking for 2025 for our next visit!
I was sent to a 30' slip for my 54' motor yacht and had to back out making 2 90 degree turns in tiny alley way. Lucky I didn't cause any damage.
Pleasant stay again! Great to see everyone again. Very accommodating and helpful.
Beautiful marina in quaint town. Awesome dockhands and spotless facilities! Will be back… ReeFresh
Great dock hands! Friendly and helpful. Clean and tidy facilities! We’ll be back.
Always great at Leland!! Beautiful sunset last night and very quiet and still. Early departure this morning for back to Wisconsin with water very flat. Leland is a beautiful place. Picked up smoked fish at their fish house that we have been very much looking forward to. Always a 5 star!!
Leland is well run, clean, great staff, a top Michigan marina.
Fantastic place to visit, and the crew at the Marina were awesome. Provided immediate assistance with docking. Facilities were clean. And Fishtown....what more can be said!! Don't leave without the cheese curds - we munched them right out of the bag like popcorn.
Great dock crew that was the most helpful on arrival and departure.
Marina was great, deck hands were awesome, and the facilities clean and nice. Will definitely be back!
Clean, attentive staff, staff is very competent. In addition. Floating docks in great shape.
Nice facilities and great dock hands. Limited choices for dining out that aren't ridiculously expensive. Cute little town and there is ice cream! The fairways between slips are some of the tightest I've seen. If there is substantial wind and your sailboat is over 30ft with no bow thrusters, you'll need the dock hands. Closes at 5.
Great boater facilities with lounge and clean bathrooms. Close to town and lots of cute shops. Reasonable fuel prices too.
Great staff, wonderful town, well maintained marina and clubhouse is very nice.
Leland is such a beautiful spot. Jeremy runs a top notch marina, well trained staff, clean restrooms and grounds, and customer appreciated marina. Rare find today!!
Staff is superb, marina is clean, sunsets (when the weather allows!) are the best. With a great grocery store and an ice cream shop just up the hill, what else do you need?
Wonderful little harbor and town! We were pleasantly surprised how charming the village was! The harbor is well protected.
Leland Harbor is great. Staff is terrrific and the town in very unique.
Always a great stop- the view, the crew, the facilities, and the town. It’s helpful to have the reservations on Dockwa. The local grocery store is the best! Unfortunately there aren’t many restaurants within walking distance. The famous Blue Bird is being rennovated and doesn’t look close to completion as of May ‘24.
Lovely marina, bathrooms were clean. Staff were friendly and were there to help you dock.
beautiful marina, great staff and dockhand service. clean and well maintained restrooms and showers. A+
Well maintained marina with great protection behind the breakwater. Great access to restaurants and shops. Wonderful sunsets!
Staff was outstanding. It is one of my favorite port's on the east side of Lake Michigan
Great marina! The staff was helpful, the facility is clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back!
Superb facility with clean and spacious showers, rest rooms, and lounge. Very helpful dock master. Strong Wifi signal. Definitely would stay again.
Top notch facilities. Excellent marina bathrooms and showers. Ice available (a bit pricey). Fuel fresh and very reasonably priced. Excellent marina staff well managed by Jeremy. Potable Water would be a great addition.
Jeremy, the Dock Master was welcoming and assisted us with lines at docking. The marina facilities are great and right next to the historic fish town.
Visited twice in 2023. Update Nicest, best managed, best equipped marina I’ve found in Great Lakes Also Docwa is sooo much better than the DNR system. No marina that uses DNR can get ever get five stars. ___________ Really great facility. Friendly, competent staff. Pricy for shoulder season. Good restaurants and grocery store walking distance. Good breakfast place too.
Russ and Neil are the best… super clean facilities, great meals at the Cove
Great spot for a day or two stop. Very nice facilities. Docks are very good. Helpful staff.
Our second stay I. Leland. As good as the first time! Harbor is a bit rockie with a south wind. A gentle le rock to sleep. Great town. Try the Riverside House Restaurant for a great meal!
Great little marina. Facilities are top notch. Clean, nice shower, restrooms, laundry. Good wifi. Located in the cutest little still working fishing village. Loved our stay here. Staff was super helpful in helping us get into our slip. Great place to get locked down for a couple of days due to weather. The Cove was a great restaruant. There are many shops to walk through. Also enjoyed Carlsons fishery. We would stay here again in a minute.
Nice marina. Watching the salmon come up the river was really interesting. Good staff.
Very nice clubhouse w/clean restrooms. Floating docks in good shape. We had help to get on the dock as well. Beautiful waterfall scenery in the adjacent "Fishtown". Lots of cute shops!
Great marina facilities and close to restaurants, essential shopping needs plus fun stores and activities.
Excellent, a bit expensive, should have rebates for Loopers. Like pay 2 nights get the third night free.
We love Leland marina, it's our favorite The marina staff is so nice, facilities are always clean and not to mention what a view of Lake Michigan
Good place. Very nice showers, laundry and lounge. Staff was very accommodating. Grocery store very close Fish town and shops right there.
Very nice marina, personalized service, and a neat little town!
Great harbor master, great docks, clean facilities
Good ramp, nice docks and helpful staff. this was a great place to stay for a visit.
Everyone was kind, helpful and were great at assisting with our docking. They were very helpful when we had a mechanical issue and even brought our overnight package to the boat. Facilities were clean and well maintained. They set a high standard for a marina operation.
Such a wonderful location…and super little, well run, welcoming marina.
Lovely location, great service. The bath facilities were tidy and clean. The day room was a nice respite.
Meh… the staff was excellent. Leland on the other hand was just ok.. it’s basically 7 buildings at a tiny two street area traffic was packed everywhere probably because of Labor Day weekend. I’ve been at most northern MI Marina’s. Some have features that others don’t like recycling common areas etc. Leland’s high points would be very attentive staff and good showers and common room. Downside is somewhat exposed to the big lake, higher than average slip fees and more expensive gas. All and all I’d rate it a solid B
Great dock hands. Beautiful facility with nice laundry room.
Everyone was so friendly, kind and helpful. Wonderful clean bathrooms
Wonderful harbor on the coast of Lake Michigan. Wonderful and attentive staff, very clean and abundant shower/restroom facilities and walking distance to Leland with restaurants, bars, shopping and grocery store.
Great stop, friendly and helpful staff. Great location in town.

Was took care like we was kinfolk’s 1 of my top spots on this trip!!
A very competent, attentive and cordial dock crew at this marina. And some of the nicest boater facilities in the State of Michigan.
Service is exceptional. Fuel Dock is superb. We love the clubhouse and docks.
No better place to be, staff is unbelievable and keep the place in top shape.
Been stopping in Leland for about 25 years, great facility, great dock hands and staff consistently over that period of time……although I do kind of miss the old fixed docks.
Harbormaster Jeremy and his cree did N excellent job at accomodating and docking us! The dock hands know what they are doing. They arranged rides for is to Suttons Bay for dinner and were always asking if there was anything we needed. Can’t wait to come back. 5 star treatment!
The staff was firendly and helpful. The facility was clean and comfortable. would recommend the marina to anyone in the Leland area.
Very enjoyable, the dock hands were very professional and helpful. Facilities were clean and friendly.
Excellent stay! The marina and facilities are wonderful. Staff are great and we loved the Historic Fishing Village 👍‼️
Very nice. Excellent service friendly and good dock hands. Restroom clean and nice
High winds created some difficulty with reservations and some boats unable to leave. Leland Marina handled it like a pro. Very clean, comfortable and convenient marina to stay at! Thank you!
This is a beautiful marina in a stunning and unique little town. The staff is well-trained, professional and very helpful. The docks, facilities and amenities are all in excellent condition.
One of our most favorite marinas on Lake Michigan! Stunning scenery and the marina crew are always helpful, friendly and attentive! Thank you Leland Marina
Harbormaster Jeremy and his fine staff could not have been more accommodating! Due to weather, we had to shift our reservation & they went above and beyond to assist us. We can’t wait to go back to this idyllic harbor and it’s incredible personnel! Thank you, Jeremy and staff… you’re amazing!
VERY NICE!! Great staff, clean modern facility. Would stay here again and also recommend to cruising friends! 👍👍
Clean friendy Marina! Cute town. Definitely reccomend.
Lovely marina with on the ball attendants & super friendly too! Easy access to laundry facilities, & a quiet lounge area. So close to Fishtown shops & downtown stores & places to eat! We loved spending time at your marina; only wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks!
Wonderful staff, speedy-responsive-good humoured! One of the best marinas on the Great Lakes.
Great harbormaster and dock crew. Always so helpful
We always enjoy our stops at Leland. Consistently good service, clean restrooms, and great staff.
Great marina. Great staff. Really nice town. Big plus is a grocery store right near the harbor.
The entire marina crew is beyond fantastic. Facilities are clean and accommodating. Can't wait to get back.
The personnel on the dock were very helpful and more to the point they were expert in helping to dock my boat. The Harbor Master was involved and accommodating during a weather delay. The entire experience was delightful and I will stay there again on my next trip.
Great facilities. Very nice little town / marina
Leland always has a very well trained and attentive staff. This year was no exception and enjoyed talking with them.
Nice people. Clean restrooms and showers. The harbor is tight, so windy conditions can make getting in and out of slips a bit dicey. The harbor office is only open until 5:00, which can be rough on sailboats traveling from other ports. But the harbormaster called to check on our progress and gave us all the vital information we needed.
Great marina! Crew was very helpful. One boat was adjusting their lines and the gas dock called one of the marina staff to go assist. Great service!
Nice docks and a super little town, too bad the marina office is at the lowest part of the town's sewer system. You can smell it. Hate waterless urinals as they usually take your breath away. You'll never get hot water to wash your hands or shave with the stupid electronic facet controls. Showers could use a few brighter bulbs. They do keep the place clean.
Top notch! Even though the weather wasn't the best for boating, we had a great stay at Leland. Looking forward to Labor Day weekend!
Beautiful marina, helpful staff. Easy walk into Leland.
The Harbormaster and staff were very nice and helpful. The Leland area is one of the most beautiful places anywhere. It’s a great place to stop.
Our stay was excellent! It’s been a few years since we’ve stayed there but we’re already looking forward to coming back next year. The staff was great and very helpful and our views were beautiful.
The staff on hand to help dock the boat and take off was exceptionally great! We appreciate their help immensely! Being very sensitive to cigarette smoke, I had to knock off one star because around the women’s bathroom in the clubhouse it always smelled like someone was smoking nearby. Otherwise, everything was great and we enjoyed our time in Leland! 😊
Dock hands were very helpful while docking and leaving. Only negatives that slips are a bit short for a 50' boat depending on access. Location is definitely a 5 star rating
We haven't been to Leland in several years but using Dockwa made it so easy to reserve a slip. The docks were great as well as the dockhands and the clean well kept building.
The staff and Jeremey are great! Very helpful and accommodating.
The marina facilities are very good. The wifi worked well at slip 13. The town is a fun place to visit. There are nice beaches on both sides of the marina. The fairways in the marina are tight. This marina should not be labelled a harbor-of-refuge. They will reserve every slip in the marina, so none will be available for boaters desperate for weather refuge. They will tell you to leave at the end of your reserved nights, regardless of weather.
Very nice facility. Very welcoming and very well maintained. Makes me want to return.
Excellent assistance at docking re line setup, Dock water hose attachment and 50 amp power cord connection. Also full voltage from pedestal and strong WiFi.
Easy access. Dock hands were very helpful. Lose to town which had good places to eat. Will schedule a return trip
Leland is a beautiful town, a little touristy but awesome. The marina facilities are second to none.
Dock hands were there when we arrived and were very helpful and friendly.
Dock hands were awesome!!! Well organized, friendly and kept the dock area clean and free of spider webs.
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.
Leland Marina was very nice, clean, the staff helpful and the town is always busy. Good to see.
Clean location, very friendly and helpful harbor staff and great town with restaurants and provisions nearby!
Great facilities. 3 day limit on stay in July and august is a real bummer. Harbor was pretty empty on Sunday and Monday and it would have been nice to have stayed longer. I would recommend considering changing this policy to 5 days. Some of the dock spaces are pretty tight to get in and out of
Leland is always a great stop. Well run marina.
We love Leland! Used Dockwa for the first time and it was convenient and efficient for getting a slip! The dock hands were friendly and helpful! Jeremy was gracious in waiving the parking fee for our overnight guest. Wonderful facilities and experience!
Awesome everyone was very helpful and it's a beautiful location
Great town, great people, great food, and great marina.
Very accommodating. Flexible. Excellent dock hands. Great town.
Great facilities and very helpful dock staff! Thank you for a wonderful stay- the Traveler crew!
We have always enjoyed our stays here at Leland Harbor. Bathrooms are clean and climate controlled to the perfect temperature.
Great Marina in the perfect spot. Stuff was very helpful and nice.
Staff is very helpful and the facilities are very nice and clean.
Great people. Great facility. Outstanding location.
Love the setting. Great sunsets and beautiful marina
Excellent marina and some of the best facilities we stayed at. Especially appreciated the marina map with marked slips so we knew exactly where to go
Awesome marina. Staff is super helpful and friendly, great shops and restaurants close by.
The team that provided services at the fuel dock, and then caught our lines while docking, numbered 3-4 and did an excellent job all around. By far, the best dockhands on north east Lake Michigan! This is one of our favorite stops to and from northern Lake Michigan.
Great people at Leland Marina. The facilities are clean and kept up.
One of our favorites. Great view, clean facilities and steps away from a great little town.
Dockhands and Manager were amazing. They found me a slip even though they were booked with Mac racers. Very clean marina run very well. Thanks for a pleasant stay as always.
Nice place bathrooms and marina is very clean
Best dock staff. I wish every marina had such an efficient, professional and friendly team.
Docklands were very helpful. Marina bathroom facilities were beautiful.
Very nice marina. Great facilities and very nice, helpful staff. It’s an interesting town as well with the little shanty’s selling everything from fish to art.
Very nice facilities and friendly staff. The town is always fun to visit. Had a good time. Will be back.
Excellent staff, nice bathrooms, and lots of food and shopping within walking distance.
One of our favorite marinas, dock hands are great, marina was very accommodating when we needed to change plans.
Great facilities. Professional deck hands. Always a willingness to assist.
The staff are always friendly and helpful with a great attitude!
Excellent facility and nice people and a grocery nearby
Our favorite port. Everyone is helpful and friendly. Clubhouse is nice & clean
Well maintained docks. Great customer service at fuel dock. Clean facilities. Jeremy does a great job.
Always enjoy staying at Leland. Dock hands are always friendly.
Great marina with very nice,capable staff. Very excellent stay. Leland was very nice and some very nice shopping and restaurants!
Friendly and helpful staff. Very nice and clean facilities!
Greatest harbor on the Great Lakes. Staff are awesome. Love this place!!!
Awesome service Dock hands were amazing compared to most! Extremely clean bathrooms.
Bathroom/ showers nice and clean, Staff courteous and helpful. Great little Town great shops and restaurants. Love my boating trip to Leland. Two ares to improve…. Lots of the pedestal dock lights need bulbs, they’re not lit. A couple of showers need shower curtains
Great all the dock personnel were very professional and knew how to properly tie up a vessel . The power pedestals were clean and no bugs were inside of them, the restroom were clean. Thxs Leland Harbormaster Jeremy doing a great job😀👍
Wonderful marina with a helpful, friendly staff. Grocery and dining are very close by.
Bathrooms, showers, laundry, always clean and perfect location. The otters at 3 am were shockingly loud, splashing about & playing. Kind of funny, except for lack of sleep. May boaters were talking about it.
Very helpful dockhands and great amenities! Love the town of Leland. Groceries and restaurants nearby.
Dock hands were very responsive and knowledgeable. Bathrooms very clean. Great stay.
Absolutely amazing marina, customer service and staff. When lake M got rough they harbormaster made room for us in another slip. A bit shallow in the closer slips but not risky. The whole marina is well cared for and taken care of. The staff use swiffer dusters to knock down spider webs every morning. You usually don’t see that unless you are in a private yacht club. Class act caring for infrastructure and amenities. We really didn’t use the clubhouse but glanced at it. Nicely furnished, clean and well cared for. Cell service is almost non-existent. The marina Wi-Fi seems to have plenty of bandwidth. The docks are open to the public and many couples and families wander by. As long as you don’t mind answering a lot of questions from looky-loos (which I don’t), it’s a great spot. Be sure to set rezzys many weeks in advance. This is a very popular boating destination. You might get lucky the day of arrival without a rezzy but not the best approach. If you can’t get a slip, there is a bay just south of the marina with a shallow hump in the middle that is perfect for anchoring. Not well protected from north or west winds but well protected from S, SW or easterly winds. While the food at the existing restaurants is more than acceptable, this town is dying for a small 5 star bistro. Everything is within an easy 3 block walk from the marina. Jeremy the harbor master goes above and beyond to make your stay as pleasant as it possibly can be. The setting is gorgeous with sunsets that you usually only see in key west. We WILL be returning many many times
The staff is fantastic. Always helping and facility’s are spotless.
Beautiful marina and town. Amazing marina staff. Hats off to them all.
Friendly and helpful staff. Services were over the top exceptional. Great facilities, boater lounge and washing machines were exceptional.
The town of Leland is enough reason to stop at this port. Love dinners at Riverside. Leland Marina makes it even more special. Close walk to town, great docks with well maintained water and electric pedestals. Their commons building is beautiful and clean.
The marina is wonderful. The staff was helpful and abundant. The dockmaster is on the docks directing traffic. We enjoyed our 2 night stay. Oh and what a wonderful little town.
Great Marina! Very clean restrooms and good dock hands.
Great visit Your hospitality was five star thank you for all your assistance
What a lovely Marina and FANTASTIC staff! Thanks for a wonderful few days staying with you! We will be back!!
Great harbor, great staff and extremely clean facilities. We’ll return again this season. Wes Paisley
The best run marina we have stayed at in years. Jeremy is absolutely top notch and has a knowledgeable/helpful staff! Jeremy went above and beyond to help us out with an unexpected incident.
Always great. Helpful staff. Stayed a little late to help us get in at 515. Clean facilities. Great town.
Great people, super friendly, beautiful Marina! Wonderful little town!
As usual, the staff and Jeremy are very helpful, friendly and flexible!! I appreciate the assistance docking and leaving, since I was alone on Jovial.
Leland is one of the best marinas in the U.S.. Great hospitality and great facilities. Awesome town.
Very clean marina. Staff cares and it shows. Hats off to marina manager/dock master. He keeps the young ones working, so different than other marinas when they spend the day on their phones.
Beautiful facility! Very helpful staff! That was a clean. Will be back. Too bad they don’t take reservations on the DNR site because Darkwa is terrible.
Great harbor & town. Harbor staff were professional & polite. We look forward to our next trip
Very nice harbor people,very helpful and caring ! Watch them in morning getting Cobb webbs down and making there rounds
Great stay, great marina staff! Need a pizza place :)
Friendly helpful staff . Continuesly looking out to boaters coming and going.Beutiful setting in fish town.
Jeremy and staff are excellent. Great service. Very clean establishment. I very highly recommend this marina.
Great staff…easy to enter the marina and an extremely short walk to town. We stop here a few times every year
Excellent staff, super clean and cordial.
Awesome marina! Well managed, new, clean and great support. Sam and Eliot were awesome! We’ve dropped into Leland twice in the past two weeks. Each time we got fuel and a pump out. Sam is professional, friendly, and extremely helpful. We’ve sailed over 100 hours in the past 12 days laying over at 10 different marinas…Leland Township is the best on Lake Michigan.
Clean , great staff,best Sunset in the state , well worth the stay
Great Marina! Really nice and helpful staff. Clean accommodations.
Nice marina with clean bathrooms and laundry. Cute town but small.
Leland is always a great stop. Clean, well run and very helpful staff.
Very clean restrooms and showers. Very new and state of the art for everything..
Great spot and helpful people. Clean and modern facilities, good Wi-FI and close to great shops and restaurants. We will be back!
Excellent facilities, all very clean. Friendly and competent staff. First rate.
We have loved fishtown for decades. The locals, Marina, food, activities, attractions and views are amazing. We would recommend Leland
Very nice marina, floating docks, very nice facilities.
They never ran water through the system before opening for the season. The water was filthy even after running a hose for 30 minutes.
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!
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.
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.
Always a pleasure to stay in Leland. The staff is great and we look forward to a return stay. Paul and Shae in particular.
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.
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.
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.
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, 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.
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!
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.
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.
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!!!
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!!!
Great dock crew! Facilities clean and lounge comfortable. Would have been 5 stars but not as sheltered as expected for gale winds.
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!
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.
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
