Bay Harbor Lake Marina

Awesome!!!!!!!mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Martin and his crew are the best and the marina is beautiful. We love coming every year to enjoy Balloon Festival and lovely area. The marina guest house and office have been updated since last year. Highly recommend a stay at Bay Harbor Lake Marina.

Courteous and clean. Great stay.

we make multiple trips to BHLM every year because it has the best facilities and staff of any marina in the area. it truly feels like a resort experience. the pool is wonderful and stays open until 3rd week of the month. Martin and his team are extremely helpful. see you again next year!

Extremely helpful staff. Beautiful, fully ammenetized setting with clean and well maintained boaters lounge. Great golf, restaurants and shopping. A wonderful stop on our trip.

Great helpful staff. Amazing facilities perfect location.

The staff is knowledgeable and friendly the marina is always maintained to the highest standards

Beautiful Marina, awesome help docking. Very clean

Very nice marina and friendly staff.

Great staff and amenities. Beautiful harbor with an excellent choice of dining options on-site. Impeccably clean, quiet, and close to several interesting harbors and towns. Our favorite!

Great in all respects!!

Great facilities and staff.

We will return again! Seriously, I could live here!!

Beautiful marina. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back!

Always great Thank you

The location is excellent. There are amenities abound. And the staff is top notch and very accommodating.

Love this place!!! Great service and great amenities!!

Great location, excellent marina, awesome staff

The quality of this marina has diminished considerably over the last few years. They do not have enough help and are never available to answer the phone or often times the radio. All the permanent bumpers on the docks are stained or torn. Walking through town there are weeds growing out of the bricks and the place really is not what it used to be. Dave Johnson must not come around here anymore.

Awesome stop- don’t miss this beautiful place!

We spent this past Labor Day weekend at the BHLM and had a spectacular stay. Very well maintained facility with shopping, restuarants, ice cream shop and a great distillery all within a short walk. We already have a weekend in the calendar for 2024.

Outstanding facility with incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff. Will definitely stay in the future.

Lovely! Everything was in order and easy to work with.

Beautiful facilities in a storybook setting. Staff is very helpful and responsive to your docking needs. Slips are well protected against heavy winds. The Village offers nice restaurants and the northern Michigan weather, coupled with the gorgeous waters of Lake Michigan made for a memorable sailing vacation.

Great staff. Fun place.

A beautiful place with spacious docks and quick access to the village. Always a treat to be there.

Being located in a hoity toity location they need to do better. Docks are great. Washrooms are very industrial. Not cleaned frequently enough and not well enough. Wet floors, poor lighting. Need to up the game. Many Michigan State marinas do an equal or better job and charge less.

Great marina, super clean, great staff, beautiful location

Beautiful harbor, very upscale area but nothing around. HIgh end shops and a couple of places to eat or get ice cream. Deep water, 70' of clear water under our boat. Good bike trail to go 3 miles to Petoskey for other shopping. Taxi available.

Top of the line facilities and staff. Super wide fairways with docks on both sides of the slips. Location of the marina is super protected from winds/storms. Stayed four nights. Pleasant stay. Highly recommended.

Nice location. No marina help present when docking the boat upon arrival. Shower facilities look like they have not been updated since opening.

The marina staff and dock hands were exceptionally friendly, in a small-town-glad-to-meet-you kind of way. Adjustable cleats and pump-outs right at your slip along with gorgeous sunsets and clear water make you step back, slow down, and savor moments often not present in our daily lives.

Always enjoy Bay Harbor.

Large and responsive marina. Good staff and excellent docks.

Very good marina, well protected and beautiful homes. Rent a car if you want to explore the area.

Bay Harbor is a great marina, however we arrived around 18:30 and everyone had gone home, so no help docking, no head combo, no ice in the morning

Beautiful setting, wonderful staff, great facilities and amenities.

Awesome marina friendly people

Great marina beautiful place

Everything was perfect, First Class Place.

PERFECT IN EVERYTHING, WILL BE BACK THANKS WAYNE POLI-SEA

Nice piers with large and adjustable cleats. Great dockhand. Many amenities close by. Beautiful views. Will definitely be back.

Staff was great. Very helpful always asking if we needed something if they saw us on deck. Bad thing was the boat next door always ran his generator so it always smelled like diesel exhaust and a bit noisy - there should be a rule in a marina that no generators are to be used. I told one harbor person about on day 2 but nothing happened. I told the harbor master on checkout day and he said he was trying to contact the guy. Also only 50 amp power plugs were available. The club was helpful giving us an adapter but then didn’t remove the deposit ($300) once we turned it in until we called. It’s a beautiful place with great access to restaurants and the individual toilets/showers were great.

Always a very nice stay. The restaurants are great and the shops are fun. The staff is phenomenal and very helpful.

Great harbor and facilities. Helpful staff. Great place to stop.

Very nice harbor with great staff

Always love staying at the Marina. Always well cared for including using an extension for our power cord. Appreciated a ride to the yacht club for lunch. Martin the Harbormaster always makes sure things are right. That’s why we love Bay Harbor.

Amazing team !!, and very, very well managed. Congratulations!!

Bathrooms could be stocked and cleaned better throughout the day. Nice dock people The Rate to use the pool is ridiculous. Stunning homes on this lake Very calm, very scenic

Very nice Marina , But could use a new washer and dryer showers were a little tight !

Staff is always polite and helpful. Entire Marina very clean.

Great people, relaxing and excellent facilities. They do however need to update the laundry as the machines are old and do a poor job washing and drying.

This was our second stay and both experiences were fantastic. Upon arrival / departure there is always assistance with docking or departing. We had a couple power issues (entire dock) that were immediately addressed and resolved), the phone is always answered, new B dock is very nice. We asked for a pump out which was promptly taken care of (and complimentary). All the staff we encountered worked very hard and took pride in their jobs. BHLM has a great atmosphere and a gorgeous setting. Our stay couldn’t have been any better. Brad & Deb - Carpe Diem

Great staff and clean facilities....

Staff was friendly. Everything was clean.

Great time. Been coming here since the mid 90’. I’ll be back. Have two names on walls at Knot just a bar

Amazing place and great staff

Great location & friendly staff!

The dock hands were very helpful and friendly. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained.

Beautiful docks. Great staff. We will be back.

Everyone very helpful and accommodating. Beautiful place!

New dock extension was beautiful and help from staff ideal. Impressive place.

Beautiful setting with lots of new places to explore. Clean facility with super helpful crew on shore.

Martin and his crew were fantastic and accommodating - as always!

Marina great, however most sit down Resturants closed Sunday and Monday

Jordon is a great asset to the Bay Harbor team. Great stay!

Top notch service in a beautiful marina. The docks were nice and wide so we could fit our jet ski. The little village was very nice with a good ice cream place. Restaurants were closed Sunday and Monday so it was pretty quiet those days. We did not check out the two restaurants located at the marina nor the pool but they all looked nice. There are free bikes to ride into Petoskey for some adventure about three miles away. We will be back!

Always professional and courteous

Spectacular place. Martin and his staff took great care of us

Best Harbor Master and Great dock hands!

The bathrooms could be cleaner but the young staff was very helpful and fun to talk with. Very nice stay.

Friendly and helpful staff , wish more of shops and restaurants were open … local looks really nice , Mammoth distillery is a nice addition , clean bathrooms , bikes available…

The marina its self its so pretty I love the water there the town the shops are all wonderful the staff was not helpful at all did not help us dock our boat did not tell us what we could use did not show us where there were rentals was not helpful when we did try to ask questions. never knew if we could use the pool or where to rent bikes. I would go back because its so pretty but I would hope for better service.

Most people in the area and on the docks did not wear masks to protect from C -19. Otherwise the harbor master was great. Wish I understood where people with resources ($) are coming from at this time. There was a wedding on site and people from it walked up and down the docks with no masks. I will watch the reports for the next week plus to see if we must quarantine because of our book visit to Bay Harbor.

Always beautiful and clean.

Lovely marina and helpful staff. We had a great time in Bay Harbor and really like your slip setup with the angled finger piers and having adjustable cleats on both sides of the boat. Plenty of room for a dinghy. One annoyance, though - our slip was occupied by another boat and we had to wait an hour for him to leave, therefore setting lines and fenders twice. Not the marina's fault that boater didn't check out on time, but perhaps there's a way to "encourage" boaters to adios if you know another boat is coming in. Realizing what it's like on the other side of things, we will always check out of our transient slips on time! I didn't use the facilities so I can't comment on those, but the grounds and location are just beautiful. Thank you!

Great entry thru Marina lake, and clean grounds. We come back every year for several days visit! Will be back again next year

Wonderful marina and a great staff. Came in during a thunderstorm storm. Dockhands met us with smiling faces and the best part is they know how to tie knots!!! Thanks Bay Harbor for a great stay.

Extremely easy in and out, and polite staff. Will be back!

Great visit to Bay Harbor Marina! Staff and facilities were excellent!

Beautiful marina, great dock hands

Nice facility but staff a little disorganized. Very polite kids but harbormaster never around. We had our slip given away while we were out and had prepaid for the week. List our electrical but the boat that took our slip. Took all week to get a similar replacement And was given a small discount for our troubles but would have been happier if it had never happened. Problems coming in at 8:15 no one around and bad weather kept us from getting in earlier. But we survived with the help of other boaters.

Great location, friendly staff, pumpouts at the slip!

Helpful, friendly staff. Great infrastructure. Good proximity to the activities we were looking for (restaurants, golf, etc)

Martin and his Harbor team are first rate!

Outstanding!!!!! We have stayed at more than 70 marinas in the last 4 months - - this is one of the top 3

Beautiful surroundings, very well protected, nice amenities and helpful staff. Only negative was live music playing from noon to 10 pm on weeknights outside the bar. Really spoiled the ambience imho

Very nice marina and helpful staff. Need to improve on cleaning the bathroom facilities more often, they were out of toilet paper and paper towels. Was quite noisy due to a wedding reception and a disagreement between a couple of boaters on the dock.

Spent a week on our sailboat at Bay Harbor Lake Marina. Best maintained marina we have stayed at. Super friendly and accommodating staff, they were more than willing to help with any of our requests. The town is very neat, a very different atmosphere then the rest of northern michigan but only a couple minutes from petoskey to get back to that feel.

Great people working the harbor

Great place and great staff... Thanks again for another great stay

Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Very nice area and easy access to other area Marinas, shopping, restaurants, etc. Beautiful area.

Quiet, nice dining at Knot just a Bar, pleasant live music, nice staff.

Its like they took a giant subdivision and placed it in the most beautiful part of Michigan. I guess its better than a quarry ,but I will never go there again.

We always love our stay in bay harbor! We've been coming since 1999, and every year we have a great time! One suggestion-have 1 or 2 grills available for transients. We stay there anywhere from 4-6 days each year. While we love Knot just a bar, the new grille restaurant, it would be great to be able to grill out and enjoy dinner on our boat. We are looking forward to our trip back next summer!

Bathrooms were filthy, clubhouse was below par, there was no informational map to the grounds (i.e. you are here......this store is located here,etc). Dockhands were great- polite, willing to do anything,etc. No bikes or vehicle to get around. They said some are coming but a $25/day charge. At the price you pay for a Pvt marina you would think they would offer equal or more than the municipal marinas in the area.
