incompetent and rude front office staff, has consistently lost information on our file. new "security" improvements are easily bypasses and failed to incorporate current clientele with cards. frustrating to deal with.

Nice place to stop for a resupply on the ICW. Plenty of marine businesses and Uber is available

Great experience with top notch facilities. Boat ramp was a little crowded and took 45 minutes to get the boat launched. Otherwise problem free. We were able to get ice/snack/bait/fuel all in one place. Had a great trip on the water and caught yellowfin until my arms wouldn't move. I'm not kidding, the fish boxes were all full and we had to start just throwing them on the deck of the boat!

Bad boat ramp, no parking closer than a mile. Have to park at a lot 4 blocks down and be charged for using it.

Amazing People! Open to the public for launching. Educated staff. Friendly boaters. They always have live bait!!

First of all they are extremely rude the place is filthy and the bathrooms are disgusting- worse than any portapody I've ever been in - do not use them under any circumstances

Do not, I mean, do not rent a pontoon boat from this marina. At first they accommodated us and seemed friendly. We set up an afternoon pontoon rental to go explore and fish. Upon arrival they put us in a room to watch a safety video, which was a JOKE in itself. The safety video was about North Carolina boat laws (ummmmm last I checked, we live Texas.) The lady said North Carolina boat laws are the same, but in my opinion, spend a couple of bucks and purchase a texas safety video. On top of that, there were huge dead roaches on the ground in the little room where we were placed to watch the video (I stood outside the room.) Once we completed the video we walked outside to the boat. All seemed ok until we arrived to our boat. The boat was filthy and I mean disgustingly dirty. There was dirt all over the seats and floor. I looked at the lady and asked her why the boy was so dirty. She stated, "I'm the only person working here and I wasn't able to clean it!" Are you kidding me?! We're paying over $400 to rent a filthy boat?! I mean it was so dirty we couldn't even sit on the seats. I asked her for wet clothes so we could personally clean the boat. She literally searched for one cloth, brought it back, and handed it to me. She refused to clean the boat. We had to personally clean all the seats ourselves. I've never in my whole time of ever renting boats have ever experienced something so unprofessional and dirty. The only reason I didn't cancel: we had family in town from midland, Texas and we drove an hour and half to rent the boat. There's no way we drove that distance not to get on the water. Once we finally were able to leave the marina the boat barely ran. I worked so hard to turn the steering wheel to the left and right throughout the rental. Plain and simple....they should not be able to rent unsafe boats to potential renters. Be aware....the boats are old and unkept. Save your money and headaches and take your business somewhere else. This company deserves a Zero!

Been in this marina for a few years. It's old and been hoping that the new owners would invest in improving the property. The only thing that is good is the dry stack. For covered boat slips, the roof is rusting and you have to constantly keep the rust off your boat. The only good benefit is that it is the closest marina near open gulf waters. I'm hoping that the management becomes more customer friendly and makes some much needed capital improvements. The customer service is poor, so most tenants don't even bother to complain.

Its difficult what to make of this place. I called them to arrange a boat slip with lift. First don't send them a contact me e-mail or leave phone messages because they do not respond. I spoke twice with a lady there. The first time she thought they might have a slip but needed to check with maintenance. A couple of days went by with no response so I called and left a voice message with no response. I called a third time and got the same lady who told me she had not heard back from maintenance. At which point I asked what did maintenance have to do with it, do they have to confirm the boat lift works? I asked, she said yes. I left her my number again and a week later I still have not heard off them. At which point I contacted Surfside Marina and their response and service to enquiries has been outstanding. I guess the Yacht Basin does not need paying customers!.

This marina is a DUMP! GYB seems to continue to go downhill, there is a reason the marina is half-empty and they are offering six months free rent. The bathrooms are filthy, the docks are covered with bird poop, and the covered slips rain rust down on your boat. Management does not care or have any customer service. They will promise you anything to get you to sign a lease then change the rules. Recently when my current year lease expired, I explained to management that my boat was up for sale and I did not expect to have it for another year. They offered me a month-to-month or a year lease while selling my boat. The year lease was $90 a month cheaper with the option to break the lease at any time and pay the month-to-month rate for the months I occupied the slip. After three months I sold my boat, they decided to keep my $540 deposit and say they forgot to mention that my deposit was forfeited. Even though this was all documented in email I was told they made a mistake but too bad. I also was told the pump out and boat ramp was included then later they change the rules. The pump out is now $20 per use and the boat ramp is $1500 per year. How considerate to tack on $1500 per year fee to the $460 per month slip fee. The fuel dock might be open or it might not, depending on the day, don't bother expecting them to be open during the posted hours. Same thing applies to the bait camp, no real hours, just open when they want. Read the online reviews and talk to people who have spent time at this marina before signing a lease.
