Completely run down facility. Nobody available, lift, boatyard, restaurant, snack bar, and lounge area is permanently closed. Docks are falling apart and dangerous. The owner is not willing to do anything about it. I wish they would sell this to someone else that knows how to manage a marina.

Visited by car 2/2024 while scouting out marinas for a planned cruise down the Texas coast.

This place shows signs of overall decay and neglect. It just looks run down, with damaged docks and roof damage in some of the covered slip buildings. Construction caution tape, barricades and rusting construction equipment on site.

There is one new floating pier, that is clearly recent construction and in good shape. Other work was going on, so perhaps there is hope for this place. When in better shape, it was clearly a nice place. With work, it could be so again.

I talked to the on-site manager. Transient boats are usually put into the slips directly in front of the office/store. Those are OK looking, but leaning pilings are a concern. The marina's pumpout station is broken and not in operation. Many slips are 18 feet wide, with possible ability to accommodate wider boats. Power and water at each slip. 50amp is available. Manager reported 10 foot depths in the marina, and no trouble coming in off the ICW. I saw good sized sailboats in slips, I'd guess boats with draft up to six feet.

Marina Manager reports that the onsite restaurant closed around end of 2023, and that the space is vacant. They are trying to find a new restaurant operator, but no luck so far. There is a small onsite store with snacks & fishing supplies. Looks like fuel is available, but not self-serve. I forgot to ask if the fuel station was actually in operation. No other on-site services.

I was quoted $1.50/foot per night for transient space.

People are very friendly and helpful. Ladies room was clean and had enough room but only one shower stall. Dining room upstairs with good food. Casual dining downstairs with live music. On site grocery store practically empty. Stores are a long walk away but transportation available.

Great place to stop for an overnight if passing through. They are in the middle of a remodel to the piers. Mingo the Harbor Master is really nice! Right off the ICW. Restaurant on site. No access to get to the other side of Freeport if you wanting to go to the beach or other restaurants. Fixed docks and Floating docks available. Hoping that they can get the work done the potential is there.
