    Nice quiet marina with a helpful, friendly staff. Restaurant serves up a nice steak and has a full bar. Cozy clubhouse with a tv and clean showers. (towels provided)

    Sailing in 2 trailerable Compacs, the dockmster tied us up at the free docks. He was genuinely friendly, helpful with suggestions were to eat and shop. Given the the docks were free, we were surprised they included a pass code to the showers, the wifi password, and free use of bicycles. We spent 2 days exploring Washington, eating breakfast, lunch, & dinners in town with stops at ice cream parlors in between. The bikes allowed us to shop at the West Marine store too. Washington is great town with a good variety of restaurants.

    Marina quoted 4 days to pull the boat, sand and paint the bottom. It took several weeks and after picking it up and moving it approximately 15 miles to my dock, the paint was already completely gone at the water line. Marina never returned my calls or emails. Also, they took my dock lines off my boat and had them securing another boat.
    I will not go to them again and have warned all my sailing buddies about the new owners.
