Would recommend him for families because he's a family man who has raised kids and wants everyone to have a fun but safe time on his boat.

The dockmaster is a terrible, Napoleon-type dictator who is mean, rude and has no business dealing…read morewith people! He thinks he runs the show and calls the shots, regardless of rules or laws. He's a two-faced liar who ridicules tenants behind their backs, talks badly about them to other people (who can overhear, as I did), and has a personal vendetta against people he just doesn't like, kicking them out despite a lease being in place. The staff here are not helpful or friendly, and they have no security on site. Cars in the parking lot are hit and vandalized, and there is no camera footage or protection for tenant cars. Their docks and facilities are sub-par, and the entire marina needs to be redone with new staff hired. The restaurant looks great, overlooking the water, but the service and food is terrible, and not at all worth the long walk down the dock to get there. Don't bother with this place, and keep on boating instead!

Was told by the dock master that you need to have at least a $150K boat to get an annual slip there.read more
