“Love using this marina, the entire team is ALWAYS helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. The location of this marina also makes it very special, it is in a very protected canal area, other marinas on the lake have to deal with serious wave action at the docks that can really damage your boat if they dont get it out of the water quick enough, you will not have that problem here. We have been very happy with our decision to keep our boat at Marina Bay Harbor.”

Jody Winter

“We are new to boat ownership and all I can say is choosing this marina was a perfect decision! Everyone there has been so pleasant, helpful and informative. From meeting one of the owners, Hunter, to Helen in the office, Billy, and the new GM, John, each person has been more kind and helpful than the next. Tons of upgrades/renovations occurring presently as well, including new docks, gas pumps, fork lift, etc.. so we must be a little patient for a short while is all with the construction. Highly recommend Marina Bay Harbor!”
