If you dont need any of the resort extras, this is a great stop. It's a working boatyard, not a resort. They only have room for a few transients, but these are nice folks and the price is way more than fair. The channel getting in here can be intimidating, but if you draw 5ft or less, stay in the middle of the narrow channel and you'll be fine. We came in at nearly low tide and saw nothing less than 6.5 ft.

Very accommodating, friendly staff. We found this wonderful place after requiring an emergency haul out, and Dandy Haven was the closest facility that could haul us on short notice. Both the marina and the arranged mechanic offered honest, fair, no nonsense pricing. Navigation into this tucked away place was tight, but had no problems at low tide with a 6 foot draft paying close attention. They helped arrange immediate repairs and provided a courtesy car. I can’t speak highly enough of this great little spot. They made us feel right at home. It is a quiet, safe yard and well protected during inclement weather. If we are ever in the area again and need repairs Dandy Haven will be my first choice.
