A true midwest Osais! LOVE CLINTON MARINA…read more We started coming to Clinton Marina roughly 7 years ago, back then, it was a nice marina with a good ship store. Wasn't special by any means but it was clean, well taken care of, and had a friendly staff. It was exactly what you'd want out of a lake marina. The ship store had what you needed and made some pretty good pizzas. However, the couple that took over ownership have decided to turn it into a destination and boy howdy have they done a great job. The whole atmosphere has become electric. Yes, it still is VERY well maintained but the changes they've made have been fantastic. The expansion on the back side, is amazing. First Fridays are killer, the ship store is awesome and the pizzas are still off the hook delicious. I hope, as do the new owners, this place turns into the epic getaway that it can be. They're making all the right moves to turn Clinton Marina into a little paradise just outside Lawrence. My only concern is parking. On busy holidays, beware, parking can get a little tough and require a bit of a walk. Outside of the parking lot issue, Clinton Marina is a great little Oasis smack dab in the middle of the prairie.

Requested they look at a few other things and call with a price BEFORE proceeding with other work. They were released to carry on with the winterization. 3) Mechanic proceeded with all (winterization and others) work WITHOUT calling me to discuss the additional work. 4) Mechanic called to let me know boat was done (Dec 2015) and my total was now ~$460 5) Talked to Larry and explained that this was unacceptable, he understood and we agreed we would work out the details once I came to pick the boat up. 6) Additional fiberglass work was identified stemming from a previous accident covered by an insurance claim. 7) Insurance company coordinated work with Lakeside and agreed upon a price to preform the work. 8) Work was performed and I was called to say the boat was ready for pick up (Jan 2016). 9) Arrived to pick the boat up. Told my total was now ~$570. 10) Asked for an itemized print out of the charges. I identified that I was being charged 100% of the sales tax for the insurance work on the fiberglass work portion of my bill. I explained that I had already paid my deductible and wasn't responsible for any additional charges on the fiberglass work. Response from Tom: "Insurance companies don't pay sales tax". 11) After tense discussions, manhours were removed from the bill for the additional unauthorized work associated with the winterization and sales tax was removed from the parts ONLY on the fiberglass work. Final bill was ~$430. Further, part of the additional work requested was to troubleshoot why the trim switch on the throttle was non-operable, stern auxiliary switch was still operable. They stated they had installed a butt connector to correct the electrical issue. After repairs were completed and I picked up my boat, the trim switch on the throttle is still non-operable and the stern auxiliary trim switch is now ALSO non-operable. I will have to engage another marine services provided to correct the issue. I don't feel this was handled in a professional manner at all and I will not be returning for additional service or purchases of any kind.

When I brought the boat in Linda had a mechanic come out and show me how to start the engine and even took the time to check the oil in the lower unit. Another boat shop might have said to park the boat in the lot and come back in a few weeks, but Linda and her mechanic went out of their way to get me and my boat back in the water. Thank you so much Arnie's. You and your staff are top notch and a pleasure to do business with.

They called today and wanted to setup our agreement just in time for me to pay through the winter. The guy was a jerk and rude when I asked, knowing it was non-refundable, for a refund. I think a reasonable company would say, we didn't hold up our end of the deal. We will give you a refund on your deposit. Instead I got excuses about the extenuating circumstances, covid, a drowning, etc. Covid wasn't new this winter, so that isn't a good excuse and what a horrible person to use a tragic drowning as crutch to get around his side of the deal. By the "letter of the law" they did nothing wrong but it sure reveals their character. So, he wants me to consider extenuating circumstances, but he doesn't want to grant the same to the people that expected to use the lake this summer. This review won't hurt them as the waiting list was very long to get in the slips but I hope it at least alerts people to the type of people they are working with.

My family has camped and kept our boats at North Shore Marina for three years now. The kids love being close to both the beach, parks, and the marina. AND.. My husband and I enjoy summers with our family without going broke. This marina offers: free boat launching (with a small fee if you want them to launch), boat repair and parts, gas, convenience store, nice campingsite, covered and uncovered boat slips, along with storage of your summer toys for the winter. AND probably other misc things that I have just never needed before It has been my experience that the owners and regular campers are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The only reason that I knocked off a star is because the campsite needs some maintenance. However, the new ownership has made a huge difference in only a few months. So, I expect to be able to give it 5 stars by next summer!
