The people working the marina are all so nice. The gift shop and bathrooms were clean. The girls at the counter were very helpful at getting us on a shuttle even though we didn't reserve a spot. We really appreciated the efforts of the staff to take a second boat out to the island to accommodate us. We also loved the flexibility to stay longer on the island. My friends and I had such a great time exploring and making it to the top of Sugat Loaf that two hours wasn't long enough. Our guide, Bryar, who picked us up from the island was great. He helped everyone get situated on the two boats and didnt make anyone wait, even though there was a lot of traffic that day. There were a couple of young kids on our trip back and it made me smile listening to the kids ask him nonstop questions and Bryar answered every one with such a pleasant attitude. We will definitely use this marina again when we find ourselves back in the area. Highly recommend the Sugar Loaf hike to anyone looking for great views. There are a few stairs that can be steep and tough but it flattens out at the top, so don't stop at the first overlook :)

Loved our time here. We took a boat out to Sugar Loaf Mt. The guides driving the boat were super friendly and polite and professional. The nature on the island is top notch and you can tell the whole area is so well maintained by people who genuinely love nature. I highly recommend everyone venture here if you have even the smallest interest in hiking and the great outdoors :3

We rented a pontoon and tube here and had a great experience! The boat was in good shape, staff was all amazing, the price was fair and I really liked that they had a bathroom, sold food and had a deck area with picnic tables! A truly great marina, we'll be back!

The raft city of Fairfield Bay Marina lies at the end of road that must usually be traversed by sturdy mountain goat but has been made to suit these goat impoverished times with asphalt. The parking slant is a short walk away from the beautiful water and rental facilities. We inquired about shore fishing and we're directed to the marina. The fellows of the marina gestured vaguely in some direction away from themselves and mentioned some local landmarks we were unfamiliar with to guide us. We rented a pontoon and it ran perfectly for us! My wife is more of a mariner than myself and seemed well content with the craft. The fuel gauge was stuck at 3/4 tank though and the marinas gas pumps were not functioning. "This one is always stuck at 3/4. Been that way since got it." We were assured by the marina man. The headboy informed us that we would be charged the fuel fee once the gas pumps were operational again. There was a frothing pool of carp and turtles near the door awaiting the discards of sometimes anglers. Horrifying mouths, all agape, sucking and suckling at the surface of the waters. Pouring over one another in a frenzied dance of gluttony, the fish bring ones mind to black Friday in America and how advanced we have become. 3 cheers and 3 stars. The floaters floated, the sinkers sinked, the carp carped. It was just fine.
