Our goal is to be at the dock as little as possible. However everyone has their own preference and lifestyle.

Pros: Quiet, no 24hr party. Good onsite mechanic at a reasonable price (he and helper are year round so I just drop off a list of items when the boat is pulled and he bangs them out in the off season). We can do our own work such as sanding and painting. Can to also bring in outside help if desired. Reasonable price. Friendly dock mates. Calm as we are at end of channel. Does not nickle and dime us.

Cons: Long cruise (15min) cruise to the entrance to the bay. Small bathroom. Old docks. No paved parking so lot is dusty.

Note we checked out one marina with amenities, it was a complete zoo. Every picnic table and grill had a waiting line, nightclub music blaring until 11. Trash was overflowing. Longggg docks. Not for me
