This Marina is a picturesque 27 mins off of Lake Michigan. Gas and Diesel available with a seawall style dock, making it easy for larger vessels to get in and out. There is a drawbridge that you may have to call depending on your boat height. It opens basically 30 mins after every hour from 09:30 to 21:30. and since you have come this far, it is worth it to spend a couple hours touring around Spring Lake.

Great place to have your boat serviced. The service department was outstanding and Kathy was very helpful. There is a nice pool. Laundry was on an app $2 a load with 2 washers and dryers. Dr Rolf bbq is walking distance and has great food. The marina is pretty far in the harbor.

Fabulous boat yard that caters to the customer. We are Loopers who were hit in the transom while docked in Holland, MI. We called 8 boatyards. Barrett's came out quickly to complete an estimate and were able to get us in within 1 week. No one else even completed an estimate although 2 others came to look. Three weeks later and we are back on our trip. We do appreciate their customer focus. The service department is phenomenal!
