I have stored my 38 foot sloop at Lighthouse Marina since 2019. It has been an excellent experience, without any drawbacks. George responds to reasonable requests in record time, and his services come at a very reasonable price. On top of all this, the marina is located in the lovely village of Rouses Point. I highly recommended this marina.

Marina Response:

2024 was my first season at Lighthouse Marina. I was absolutely delighted. George is pleasant, accommodating and customer oriented. When he says he has the best prices on the lake, summer and winter, he is telling the truth. The location at the top of the lake is perfect for us, the closest to home and ideal for how we boat. After my 1st year experience, I am a loyal and devoted customer. Thank you, George.

Marina Response:
Ken, thank you for the 5 star review! Lots of boaters are struggling during these financial times and appreciate you reminding them that Lighthouse Marina has the best pricing on Lake Champlain for dockage, mooring and winter storage. Excited to see how much you enjoyed your stay and look forward to greeting you back this spring!

George and Lighthouse Marina are on point when it comes to Shining bright and leading the way for sailors on Lake Champlain. This DIY boatyard has been a great spot to refit my sailboat. George is always there to help, and accommodate in anyway he can. The town is small but has plenty of essentials for parts and food. Id have to say its a 10. 10 Plus. Borderline Eleven

Marina Response:
Always great to hear that we've been able to exceed our customers expectations! Especially impressive when the customer owns two boats and has chosen to use Lighthouse Marina as his base of operations for years. Thanks Drew for the shout out!

My sailboat was under the care of George at lighthouse for the better part of the last decade. The owner of the marina is a very meticulous, knowledgeable and helpful individual who goes out of his ways to lend a helping hand. He will take the time and attention your boat needs and I took comfort knowing he was handling and caring for my sailboat. The installations at the marina are basic but are ideal for diy'ers who love to work on their boats.

Marina Response:
Always exciting to have a knowledgeable, long term customer (10+ seasons) share such glowing feedback. As ever, it's our pleasure to continue to serve all of your boating needs.

Spent a great summer at Lighthouse Marina. Beautiful views, friendly service and peace an quiet. The owner is great, treats his customers like family ( the members that you actually like) and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is happy. He even set up an inflatable waterslide for our children, to make our stay even more enjoyable. Best place on the lake to watch the 4th of July fireworks, and the parade begins at Lighthouse Marina. Looking forward to another great summer at Lighthouse

Marina Response:
While we strive to exceed our customers expectations, we are thrilled when our boaters share that we have created a warm, welcoming, 1st class marina experience for adults and kids alike. We look forward to welcoming your family back to Lighthouse Marina and Rouses Point for the 2025 boating season!

Je suis bien content d’avoir retrouver mon bateau intact après deux ans de pandémie ! J’ai bien hâte de revoir mon bateau enfin flotter au bout d’un mooring a toute épreuve L’été prochain ! Tranquilitée d’esprit assuré !

Marina Response:
Merci beaucoup! Very much appreciate your kind words and being entrusted with your treasured sailing machine on the dock, and safely storing for the winter in our yard. Hard to imagine that we'll be lauching S/V Plume back in the water in less than 5 months.

This is our fourth season storing our boat with Lighthouse Marina. George is a delight to work with and always facilitates our needs. I highly recommend any service that is offered! Wally Zinn

Marina Response:
Thank you Wally for your thoughtful review of our family operated marina. We greatly appreciate you travelling a great distance each year to store/winterize your power catamaran with Lighthouse Marina.

George, the owner, is the most valuable asset of this location. He is always helpful, calm and ressourceful. He doesn't count his time or his efforts to help in the best way he can. I know my boat is safe there, either at the mooring or in the yard. Over that, we love the small village with everything you need at hand. And, for sure, we love the price, too! It is hard to find such a combination on the lake.

Super service for Travelers lifts need to unload boat from trailer to trailer quick response 5 start

Marina Response:
Our 60 ton Marine Travelift was easily able to lift your 33' flybridge boat from dropdeck trailer and safely block in boatyard until Canadian shipper arrived. We shared photos of M/V Janelle as she was being loaded onto hydraulic trailer and prepped for her short trip across the U.S.- Canada border. Glad we were able to take away your concerns and were able to facilitate transport from NYC to Montreal. Look forward to welcoming you back to Lighthouse Marina and sharing what the Rouses Point waterfront has to offer!

Love this marina! Great location, cute little village. The owner, George, is reliable, fair, good vibes, provides excellent splash/haul-out services and is always making improvements on the property. Moorings are very secure – the lake didn't get a ton of big breezes this year but it's good peace of mind for when they do. Prices are GREAT. Having that new dog park just across the road at the community center & fields is super helpful. Can't wait for the BYOR (bring your own rum) tiki bar to open next year! :D

Marina Response:
Thrilled hearing that the upgraded amenities at Lighthouse Marina are being used and appreciated. Totally agree that the Village of Rouses Point is a truly special place and that the new and improved Village recreation facilities (dog park, pickleball courts. tennis courts, etc.) located across the street are the finest on Lake Champlain!

Nestled on Lake Champlain, Lighthouse Point Marina is an amazing marina! Well-equipped facilities turned a challenge into a great experience. The captivating views of Champlain Lake from the marina added a picturesque touch. Captain George made our stay truly special. I wholeheartedly recommend this marina for its outstanding owner, solid values, and the promise of an exceptional visit. Counting down the days until my next lakeside escape!

Lighthouse Point Marina rocks on Lake Champlain! George, the owner, is a total gem—always positive and super helpful. This summer, I had a boat hiccup, and George saved the day with a warm welcome and top-notch equipment for easy launches. The lake views are simply stunning. George's friendly vibes and great facilities made my stay unforgettable. I highly recommend this spot for a fantastic lakeside experience. Excited for my next visit! -Lorianne

Marina Response:
Lorianne- The crew appreciates the 5-star review for taking care of your precious "donuts" cargo. It was a challenge unloading your three boats from a trailer, that itself was loaded on a tractor trailer, but the LMLC crew rose to the occasion. Pleased that we were able to repair your trailer and safely load/strap your boats on their trip to Montreal. We look forward to seeing your "donuts" on Lake Champlain.

Capt. George was great! The docks are real close to a dog park and awesome exercise walk area. Great place for a layover just before entering Canada!

Always great to meet up with kind and thoughtful boaters pursuing their dream of accomplishing the "Great Loop"!

I started keeping my boat here this year – I'm so glad I stumbled upon this marina! The owner, George, is extremely knowledgeable, proactive, thorough, and welcoming, and the location is fantastic – just around the corner from the main drag, so it's quiet but not isolated and an easy 5-min walk along the shoreline to get a coffee, sandwich, or swing by the hardware store. The marina is getting rebuilt after a massive storm a few years back, and from the looks of it when the new docks are in and restaurant are done next year, this already-great spot is going to be 🔥

Marina Response:

It’s an amazing experience! I have been with the Lighthouse marina since September 2019. The marina is located 500 m from the customs (Lacolle). Easy to access and has all the necessary services. Always very good service. The owner is very polite. Very open for any personal inconvenience, especially during COVID time and border closures. Even though the price is already the cheapest on the lake, it suited me even more because of the pandemic. For two years that we couldn't see our boat, George took care of it. Thank you very much for being you!

Marina Response:
Oleg, pleased to hear that our efforts to safeguard your sailboat during the 2 year border lockdown exceeded your expectations. It's been a challenging two years running Lighthouse Marina with all the boats in storage, docks empty and the lake eerily quiet. We look forward to welcoming you, and all our Canadian boaters, back to Lake Champlain this spring!

Just paid for my dry dock but I have nothing bad to say about this place. My boat has been there since 2012 and the owner, George, is very nice and knowledgeable. He will go out of his way to help his customers and others.
