This is a full service facility with gas and diesel refueling, current weather reports; seasonal or transient slip rentals, a computerized advanced reservations system, and acceptance of major credit cards. You will love the fact that there are restrooms, showers, and a laundry located adjacent to the Marina in the Dock Master headquarters. Fishing Licenses are sold at the registration desk.
