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 Captain John’s.

The North Shore marina is a full service location and favorite spot for those seeking to rent a location for a casual wedding, birthday or other celebration. Consider a lake boat cruise private rental option for a super special event.
On the South Shore, Captain John’s Marina Big Bear is nestled near Meadow Park. This location is strictly for non-motorized watercraft rentals and has limited days and hours of operation. However the views, ease of access and quiet play area make it another family friendly location.
