The people are nice and the docks are well maintained. Why does everything have to be so complicated? Another thing is the guest docks are FAR from the office. Maybe to me 10 minutes.

The marina is located right by the entrance to the Navy base, so we pass it on our way on/off the base when going to the Navy Exchange or Commissary. If one is able, it is fun to walk the docks to just look at the boats and talk to some boat owners if they are out and about. Also, the bay on which the marina is located has some very cool rocks along the water's edge. Fun to take a small dinghy with outboard motor out on the water to do some geo-exploring around the bay. Not too far a ride away from the marina. All around the marina serves as a nice base for some nautical adventuring.

I believe there was street parking farther away, but we didn't look. TJ and Sophia were great hosts to us. Sophia was very knowledgeable and so willing to answer any questions we had. On the tour, we saw a grey whale from a ways a way. Orcas were being scarce today but we traveled near Seattle and pungent sound. They really went the extra mile to make sure we were able to see orcas as this was not close by. The pod had a NEW BABY! Such an exciting experience. Not only that, they were also having fun socializing and slapping their tails. Then we saw some glorious breaching. It was honestly such a great experience. We were in awe!

Moreover, the tandem kayaks were easy to use. A big thanks to Sue and "the other guy" who took care of us from beginning to end.

Despite that, they refused to issue a full refund. When I booked, I expected a reasonable level of customer service and flexibility, especially for something as unpredictable as getting sick. Instead, I was met with rigid policy. It felt like they cared more about keeping my money than doing right by a customer who couldn't safely attend. I understand that businesses have cancellation policies, but there should be some level of compassion and common sense--especially when someone gives advance notice and isn't canceling last minute. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression. I would hesitate to book with them again and recommend others read the fine print very carefully before committing... because even with advance notice, you will not get a full refund if you need to cancel.
