The lists of pros is too long to write, but let's mention a few. Let's start with the price: so inexpensive for the class of marina and for all that they provide. Fuel and pump out services. Brand new floating docks with lots of cleats and plenty of posts for electric (they have 30 and 50 Amps) and water. Very friendly and efficient service: at the office, at the fuel dock, the dock hands, etc. The best WiFi of any marina. Great security, with gates to the docks that open with an electronic card. Clean everywhere: the grounds, the facilities, the docks, etc. Beautiful manicured grounds with an herb garden for boaters to help themselves. Propane grills for the boaters to use with several picnic tables on the grounds. Gorgeous building with all you need to fill at home: lobby with TV, small restaurant with the best ice cream Kawartha, small bar. Large laundry room with new machines and it is complimentary (no marina gives you complimentary laundry) plus they supply you with soap and dryer sheets. The best showers of any marina: 10 individual rooms, each with toilet, sink, vanity and a large and wide shower. Very clean!!!!! The Marina has a good location as there is a 2 block walk into town, where you can find everything you need: grocery stores, liquor store, pharmacy, restaurants, Dollar store, etc. Also right in front of the marina there is the city hall and the library.

Call ahead or just use your VHS radio to call the marina and they will send out a couple of dock hands to help you into your slip. I really can't say enough about this place.

I used the women's. It has two stalls, but one was actually in working order. It was clean. It was nice to walk along the boardwalk and admire the waterfront. There are benches under a couple of wooden structures were you can sit back and boat-watch. If you want a beautiful waterfront view of Port Perry, drop by the marina. (383)

Upon first arriving at the Anglers Retreat, you are welcomed by a beautiful, scenic view of Rice Lake. And then you are shown to your cabin by Lloyd - a very drunk person who won't show you to the boats because he can't see two feet in front on him! He was disgusting! The cabins were not much better. We were given a choice of cabins because there was a plumbing problem with the original one we booked but, not so much a problem that he insisted we change cabins. So, we stayed in the original cabin. Everything (in both cabins) was grimy and dirty - the ceilings, the walls, the floors, the furniture, the beds - everything! The cabins have obviously never been cleaned. We decided to make the best of it. I took out my can of Lysol and used about half of it to clean the germs and get rid of the fowl smell! Looking around the cabin, you could easily see the structure was falling apart and needed some serious work. There were holes in the ceilings and walls and the floors were uneven. We also noticed there wasn't a smoke detector; there was a spot (a base) for one but, no detector. We had booked the cabin for the week. That evening, while down at the dock, I heard and watched out of the corner of my eye, at what I thought was a squirrel scramble in to the second cabin we had been offered. I "hoped" it was a squirrel but, it sounded like something bigger. "Thank goodness we didn't take that cabin!" In the morning, as these things naturally happen, we had to go to the bathroom. After a couple of trips, the toilet would not flush. There wasn't a plunger anywhere so, we went to get Lloyd. He was quite hungover and, after listening to the problem, went back to eating his breakfast before heading out to look at the problem. Others in my group shared that the sinks had also back up during the night. When Lloyd finally arrived, he got annoyed and said the toilet was running. We just waited and thought he was going to fix it. Instead, he started yelling at us! We were two couples in my group. Lloyd said a lot of stupid and ridiculous things! The women got mad! Standing up from the chair I had been sitting in, I took a dep breath and said, "I think we should leave." So we did. We quickly packed all of our belongings and drove into Peterborough - to use the bathroom and get some breakfast. We lost a $250.00 deposit. We managed to find another place to stay for the rest of the week. Anglers Retreat should be shut down and the buildings should be fixed/torn down, the plumbed up-graded, the Fire Marshall should be brought in, a building inspector should be called in, etc., etc., etc.

Things are yellowed and ancient looking. A little rough around the edges. A lot rough around the edges. There's an unmarked washroom in another building to the right. We went to Angler's on a Sunday to rent a boat to fish. With a party of eight, we rented a pontoon at a rate of $120 for four hours ($158 at the end, after taxes and fuel charges). The day rate was $175-180 (before tax and fuel charges), which ends at 7:00pm, but we didn't want the boat that long. The pontoon - with a capacity of eight - fit the eight of us comfortably. Only one person is supposed to be the designated captain and apparently a boating license is not required, but who's steering the boat when you're out in the water is another question (and that's all I'll say). We did have fishing licenses though. The man, who I assume was the owner, taught our captain how to dock/undock and drive the boat. It's pretty straightforward. We also bought a box of worms, 24 for $6. As I never fish, I don't know if that's a good deal. The pontoon was decent. It certainly wasn't new and it definitely wasn't fancy, but it got the job done and we didn't run into any problems. My only issue with the boat was that it had no overhead cover unlike some other pontoon's we've rented in the past, so on a sunny day, you would likely shrivel into the wrinkliest of raisins. Fortunately, we brought a big golf umbrella, so it made lounging on the boat much more comfortable. I genuinely don't think you could survive in the heat and sun without shade for that long on a boat with no overhead over. That's really my only complaint with the experience (and I'm no boat expert, but there did appear to be notches where a cover should/would have been attached.)
