the boaters choice

There is something special about Bay Harbor. Boaters at the marina are attracted by more than the first-class amenities the marina offers – they enjoy being a part of the community. Shared cookouts, dock parties, and day trips make the marina feel more like a neighborhood. Named one of “10 Best Family-Boating Resorts” by Boating Life, the marina is also a certified Michigan Clean Marina. With the expertly trained staff to provide docking assistance and waterside concierge services, boaters can enjoy a stay either seasonally or as a transient guest.

Bay Harbor Lake Marina was once again named a Boaters’ Choice marina by Marinas.com for the last three consecutive years. Thanks to your patronage and positive feedback, we are among the top 2% of US marinas listed on their website. We were proud to see one of our transient boaters naming us “The Hamptons of Northern Michigan.”

Pier B Dock Expansion

Bay Harbor Company is excited to announce a dock expansion at the Bay Harbor Lake Marina, scheduled to be in operation in June of 2022. This is the first change in the 26 years that the marina has been operating.

The expansion will be on Pier B, adding 35 new slips that range from 40’ to 120’, and are currently available for reservations, however the seasonal dockage is going fast. There is quite a demand in the boating industry for seasonal slips, and Bay Harbor has the luxury of having a protected harbor that leads directly into Little Traverse Bay. The marina only offers floating docks, that greatly  accommodate the ever-changing water levels in Little Traverse Bay and Bay Harbor Lake.

The docks are all just steps to Bay Harbor’s Downtown Village which has an eclectic collection of restaurants, boutiques, spirits and wine tasting venues, specialty services, premier events and the Great Lakes Center for the Arts, a world-class performing arts center. In 2022, the Village is completely leased and will be bustling with activity all season long.

Amenities for boaters include a boater’s lounge, restrooms, showers, Wi-Fi, electrical and water hook-up, dockside sanitary pump out and a dedicated staff of dock-hands to assist you on the docks. Boat cleaning services, fishing charters and bicycles for boaters use are also available.

Village Suites Bay Harbor and Bay Harbor Vacation Homes are within walking distance from the docks if needed for special lodging accommodations.

Bay Harbor Lake Marina received the honorable designation of a Michigan Clean Marina by the Clean Marina Program (CMP) Committee. The Clean Marina Program (CMP) is a joint undertaking by the Michigan Boating Industries Association, Michigan Sea Grant, and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. It is the policy of a clean marina to protect the health of boaters, staff, and the environment by preventing the discharge of pollutants to the water, land, and air.

Spent a week on our sailboat at Bay Harbor Lake Marina. Best maintained marina we have stayed at. Super friendly and accommodating staff, they were more than willing to help with any of our requests. The town is very neat, a very different atmosphere then the rest of northern Michigan but only a couple minutes from Petoskey.

Lovely marina and helpful staff. We had a great time in Bay Harbor and really like your slip setup with the angled finger piers and having adjustable cleats on both sides of the boat. Plenty of room for a dinghy...grounds and location are just beautiful.
