We are having a wonderful experience at Alton Marina AKA Seahorse Ranch Marina in Alton, Illinois!…read moreFrom start to finish, the service was excellent. At the fuel dock, Jackson and Jill went above and beyond--helping with pump-out, rinse-out, and even offering to take our trash. Fuel prices were very reasonable too. The marina office staff were fantastic to deal with. We were a bit uncertain about our timing and length of stay, but they were flexible and accommodating the whole way through. When we pulled into our slip, our neighbors came right out to lend a hand with docking, which gave the whole place a welcoming, community feel. The facilities are clean and well-kept, with a laundry room (two washers and two dryers at just $1 each!), a beautiful pool area, and a casual snack bar that's perfect for breakfast or lunch. The covered slips feel secure, and the location is excellent--right next to the Alton Amphitheater, where there were live events going on during our visit. Another big plus is convenience: Enterprise picked us up right at the marina for a rental car, which made exploring the area simple. All in all, Seahorse Marina is a gem on the river. Great service, friendly atmosphere, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. We'll definitely be back! Thanks, Jan & Mike, Kwiat Nights III

Impressive! My…read morecousin periodically docks his boat here. Last night, I spent the night on his boat after hosting a bridal shower over at the Cracker Factory. The property is well secured and safe. I was truly impressed with how pristine this marina was maintained. This marina is definitely upscale compared to those up closer to Grafton. Arriving late at night, I didn't have the opportunity to use the built in pool, but I'm sure it is a popular gathering place with the boating community during regular hours. The restrooms for those who are docked in the marina bays were equal to a upscale private mens health club. Ahhhh, a real shower instead of one on the boat. This marina has it all for the true boater. I'll be back? - When the cousin is docked here, I'll be here. When: April 28, 2018 Why: Sleep Over

There is a sign about a reward for the Meramac Giant Squid being $500 & all the calamari you can eat. Also- "full-body massage Ladies free Men $25000 (paid cash in advance)" I was highly disappointed they were out of the $1 chocolate coated bacon :.-( What they did have was $9 TJs pizzas and crock pots of $2.50 precooked hamburgers, brats & hot dogs... We got brave & got the hamburgers.. Bartender gave us the bag of buns & American cheese... My friend asked where the restroom (for washing his hands) was & the bartender said "outside" then to the two guys at "we have never had running water" We said "F it" & wolfed down the burgers and did not get sick (we both have caste iron stomachs... usually) The place has true "river rat" character & characters. (River Rat- people that enjoy living and/or playing on rivers and are proud of the simple life) I would bring my own food & hand sanitizer (like the regulars). Beer, sodas, prepackaged snacks & a place to watch some of the ballgame while taking a break from the river says 2 stars for me. They did have signs to advertise some bands. Side note- they do rent dock space for boating minutes from StL. I believe this was just a "private club" we were welcomed to visit.

You can pull your boat right up to the dock. The only food option is frozen pizza or chips. Most of the staff is friendly but their are a couple of bartenders who are not people friendly. The reason for 3 stars is because of a couple of uncaring employees and the fact that you always have to go to bar because nobody will wait on your table.

Couldn't see it at all. Accidents happen. They send someone to pull us out. He got stuck as well because he couldn't see it either. After towing us in, we were told another pontoon was stuck in the same spot. We were told it "happens all the time". When the last called to discuss the deposit. We were told they "need to make a rule to not go past Cove 5". So if this is already an issue, why is there no mention of it and why wasn't it marked at all? Ok so what. Keep the deposit for something that happens all the time. Sounds like a money trap to me. The staff used to be friendly and perky. Not so much anymore. They are all very monotone and act like they are miserable to be there. Out of the SEVERAL times I have been to this Marina ( also all of the people I've sent there) I have NO desire to go back. I get that things happen but if something is a known issue and still collecting deposits from people. That's down right dirty. Thank goodness the bank is on the ball and fixing the MARINA'S mistake. I hope people keep an eye on their accounts so that this doesn't happen to them.
