The facility is very nice and the amenities are second to none, however, you pay for those amenities. You can't simply pull in for a monthly wet slip, you must become a member of the club. While I think it's DEFINITELY worth it, it's not for everyone. Great place to keep your vessel throughout the year, and if you do, you'll find that it's more affordable than many marinas, let alone yacht clubs. The perks are worth the membership!

If you're looking for an upper class boating community in Southeast MI, this is it. I'm not sure any member would disagree.

They certainly have some empty slips this season but I've seen the same vacancy at most marinas on the river. If you're still in the state and boating you'll enjoy your summer on the isle here.
There are some shady places to stop in further north so don't let price be only thing your decision rides on!

Definitely a nice place to be on the water. I'd still be spending my summers there if I hadn't moved to East. Lots of boating going on and it's tough to beat Michigan summers, it's true...

Great spot right on Belle Isle! After frequenting marinas in the area there's no question that the Isle is the place to be downriver.
