What Is a Marina?
A marina is a waterfront facility where you keep your boat in the water at a slip or dock. Marinas range from small docks with a few slips to large full-service resorts with fuel, pump-out, power, water, showers, and on-site repair.
Why Choose a Marina Slip
Keeping the boat in a slip means it is always in the water and ready to go. That convenience is ideal for frequent boaters who want to walk down the dock and leave without scheduling a launch or towing a trailer.
