Lang's Marina

8/28/17 - 8/31/17 The marina has got to be one of the worst maintained marina's in the country. The place is falling apart. No power, no lights, no railings, etc, etc. at the west marina, so we had to get a hotel. 20 feet of a concrete floating dock broke away while we were there. Still swinging around a piling when we left. Bare metal bolts exposed on the side of the floating docks, thank goodness our fenders were out before we got to the slip. We had to get a hotel room because no working power and debris was so prevalent that our generator intake required constant clearing. Power pedestals laying down or half way in the water on both the east and west marinas. The east marina is slightly better than the west marina, but you'll need to search around for a power pedestal without burned out receptacles, bring plenty of power cord. The tripping hazards, holes and missing docks at the west dock are too numerous to mention. The dockmaster , Nat, was a nice kind guy, always saying he wanted to help. Cutting deals to get you to stay while waiting the weather out instead of heading north. Made promises of returning dock fees if weather broke and we left early, but of course when the weather broke and we left two days early, he was quick to say they had a policy of not returning and prepaid fees as he pointed to the sign and said he was happy to help with anything we needed. The overnight rate is $1.00 per foot, while that sounds good, it is overpriced because the place is so dangerous. You must really be careful walking around the docks, etc. We were only there by chance as it is the only marina between two large sounds on the ICW and needed a place to leave our boat for a few days until the weather got better. I was there about 10 to 12 years ago under similar circumstances, it was horrible then too. St. Mary's is a nice little town, we had some great meals there this week. People are very nice. It continues to puzzle me and many others why the marina owners do not reinvest in this marina asset.

Cheap price for a dock. The east dock is nice, the west dock is pretty rough. Beautiful location in historic downtown.

Nice enough and a great price. The town of St. Marys is also worth the detour off the ICW in my opinion. Only problems, no wifi it is poorly lit at night some sections of the floating dock have seen better days.
