We've been traveling aboardour boat for the last 4 months. As you might imagine, we've stayed at a lot of great marinas. Our standards are pretty high. However, Son Rise blew the competition out of the water! From the moment we arrived we could tell Son Rise was a special place. Despite its size, they make every customer feel known, and important. The attention to detail is unparalleled! The docks are clean and very well kept, along with every other inch of the marina from the parking lot to the swimming pool. Son Rise offers many extra amenities such as: a community room with coffee available

Nice marina. They have lots of water for your boat to sit on. Get your dingy out, save gas, watch snakes, & drink margaritas

Not the best customer service, have been storing (winter) for years, this year and after many attempts to reach them, they gave away my spot, actually seemed to enjoy telling me Im out of luck, I would consider going Else where, definitely if your looking for a part of the family experience, facilities are great, price slightly high but its the total lack of caring that will keep me away!

Nice large marina with views of Cedar Point. Has a pool for swimming nearby. Has shore water and shore power and fuel (I believe).
