You’ll find boat services and storage, dock building and repair, boat slips, moorings and a launch as well as watercraft rentals and environmentally friendly lake boat tours.
As the only eco-friendly marina in the area, we also maintain a lakeside beach, a picnic area event location, BBQ and horseshoe pits for visitors who rent at Capt. John’s.
For the water sports novice or enthusiast, you’ll find specialty water sports lessons, more intensive clinics with well known professionals in water sports, along with water sports fitness classes such as paddle fit and floating yoga, and many community oriented events.
