I wish the marinas 50 miles east and west of here were this reasonable! It’s not the fanciest marina we’ve used, but the price was good, especially after staying in Ft. Myers and then Stuart. Restrooms, shower a bit rough. We didn’t have time to try the pool. The town had one takeout Mexican grill so there’s not much to see that’s walkable or bikeable. Good electric and security gate. Easy in and out of long dock.

Dockage was fine. Pool was not . Dirty water and needed cleaning. Not worth paying extra coat compared to city dock.

Marina Response:
Ongoing road work has taxed the pool filtration system to point it can’t keep up with weekly cleanings. This is a temporary situation. Our maintenance people are monitoring and cleanings are done regularly. Unfortunately we can not do daily cleaning. This situation is intermittent and should resolve shortly with the completion of the road work. Thank you for staying with us. We hope you will give us another opportunity in the future. Best regards, River House Marina

Nice linear dock. We came to wait for the wind to die down before heading east across the lake. We wanted water and 50a power. All good. I’ll take a pool anytime I can get one, so bonus there. Not heated, but it was a warm day and felt great. Pricing wasn’t clear. Active Captain, the marina website, and even the sign was old info. The actual cost for our 55’ boat was $1.50 per foot. Good bike riding. We never used the bathroom or shower so can’t comment on that.

We highly recommend River House Marina. Newer docks with power and water available. Very reasonably priced. There are stores within walking distance. There is an Eagles also within walking distance. Great steaks on Friday & Saturday night & Breakfast on Sunday morning. Located in the unique city of Moore Haven, Florida on the Caloosahatchee River which has easy access to both the Atlantic Ocean as well as the Gulf of Mexico.

It was ok,we booked in advance as didn't want to risk not getting on the city dock, but when we arrived early afternoon then city dock was empty and in much better shape than River House. Still it did the job, the restrooms and shower is very basic but was ok. No much in Moorehaven , a Mexican take out , a Dollar store for basic provisions and a pizza place, all within a mile walk. Left at sun up to catch the 1st lock opening.

We came in late in the day and received the last slip at this small but nice marina. We were able to easily tie up on the wall space assigned. There was adequate power and water. The docks were gated for extra security. We left early the next day without any delays. I would have enjoyed walking to one of the town’s couple of restaurants but this was just a stopover and fit the bill nicely. We did not find the shore facilities but I trust they were adequate as well.

Conveniently located for a stop in the middle of the trip across Okeechobee Waterway. While no staff on site the docking is very easy along a pier with power and water access. Quiet night with no traffic since the lock does not operate at night. Very fast internet. The Dockmaster is remote but very nice and responds quickly providing all the information needed.

Interesting stay. We did not know that we would be staying at an unmanned marina due to the “off season”. We had no reply on the radio and finally had to call to get an understanding of where we should dock. We were greeted by the most wonderful man who was obviously remote but was highly effective getting all squared away with everything we needed.

They were just what we needed, a place to overnight with shore power on our way west. Turns out they were off season, so it was self-service. Pool was officially closed, but they let us in. Tie-up is alongside dock along the waterway, in a no-wake zone that most bypassing traffic adhered to. No real facilities (ice, fuel, showers, etc.) that I could determine. Would use again.

We actually didn't stop this time, but I wanted to share the 5 star treatment we received from this marina!\n\nDue to Hurricane Nicole, we had to change our reservations a few times. Instead of canceling us, they allowed us to keep our place on the dock. They said if we canceled and rebooked, we might not have been able to get a reservation. \n\nAs we were approaching the final lock before the marina, the dockmaster called to check on our arrival. We discussed the fact that we might be able to make the next lock due to the time of day. The dockmaster talked us through the plan and we successfully made it shortening our next day's travels by almost 30 miles. \n\nThis is the type of compassion that we truly appreciate with a marina. We did ask they keep our paid fees as a thank you for all their help. It truly alleviated the worry associated with travel in today's crazy boat world. \n\nWe will stay with River House for years to come!

Nice spot. Small, but everything works. Not much going on in the area, but that wasn’t a problem for us. No one around when you arrive to check you in or help with lines, but again no problem for us. Once we tied up, we got a call from the owner (?) and he texted us all the relevant info (gate code, etc.). He must have a camera or something because he called within minutes of our arrival. We couldn’t get the WiFi to work, but that could be operator error on our part. Would stay there again for sure.

Super convenient and easy to access face dock right outside of the Moore Haven Lock. The owner, Bob was very communicative before our arrival and he made sure we were tied up really well with big winds threatening. Use your phone when trying to hail him. Basic amenities and facilities (nice, clean pool, but we didn't use it). Nothing really to do there, but there is a great Riverwalk. It's residential, so don't think Tampa Riverwalk, but you and your dogs can really stretch your legs at this marina. The best part of the visit was the trip to Haven Fresh. If you are a fan of Mexican Food, GO THERE! It is carry out and a grocery store only - no seating. It was the best burrito I have ever had. We both got el pastor and they were amazing. We also bought some chiles, produce, salsa and hot sauce. There's fresh meat that is seasoned, so you can take it back and make your own. I could go on and on. It's a 7 minute walk from the marina. Definitely a great stop on your eastbound journey through the Okeechobee waterway.

A terrific stopover on an Okeechobee crossing. We stayed for years at the Moore Haven city docks for $1 a foot a night with electricity, but we now prefer Riverhouse at $1-$1.25. Power is extra. With the city dock you never know if there will be an open spot, but at Riverhouse you can reserve through Dockwa. Deepwater dock for larger boats, plus a second dock for smaller boats. Riverhouse has a pool and good WiFi. Bob, the owner, is attentive to his customers and flexible.

Pulled up and made about 6 calls between my wife and I and couldn’t get a hold of anyone. I pulled into an empty spot on the dock and asked my wife to check in. She tried to go but the gate to the dock (plus for security) was locked. She asked a person staying at the marina to let her out, but we met the biggest &$/)(?@& in boating who told my wife if you belonged here you’d have the code. We finally get a hold of someone on the phone and it’s all good we get the codes, we are in the correct spot, bathroom info and the layout of the town. The town is pretty small but we had a chance to hit a dive bar and at the suggestion of the marina we headed to the Eagle for dinner. The town was very friendly, the docks east to get to and a friendly community.

Great stay! Bob, the marina manager could not be more helpful. Help coming in and help on departure. Even help driving us to pick up dinner. Can’t say anything more tha if you are traversing the Okeechobee water this is a must stay!

Marina Response:
Our apologize for the difficulty you had upon your departure. We do not have a full time dockmaster and rely upon phone communication to render assistance. Based on our conversation prior to your departure it was indicated we could be on site in twenty minutes to assist but, you indicated you could manage. We make every attempt to address our customers needs. We thank you for your stay and if you pass this way again we will be sure to address your needs. Safe travels, River House Marina.

We made our reservation in April for an arrival in mid-June. Unfortunately it got lost in translation that the pool and the bathrooms are closed in the summer so we arrived we had no one to greet us. However, Bob was awesome, he apologized for the mix-up, sent me the wifi code (which worked great) and the code to the locked gate. He even gave me a partial refund for the inconvenience. I was really impressed and would definitely stay there again when we transit the Okeechobee Waterway in the future.

Nice dock, excellent location on canal right at the lake. Got there after closing and there was no answer after several rings calling posted phone number, was told by dock master later it rolls to another number so you have to let it ring I'm guessing at least ten times. The restroom/shower require a door lock code, was fortunate there was someone there that shared the number and where it was located. Would definitely stay there again, called the dock master later and squared up payment, he was very nice.
