Light House Marina, a family business, will get my business in the future. Todd, the owner and chief mechanic was thorough and explained in detail all that needed to be done, including some custom body work, and mechanicals. They also sell valvetech gas, which has the additives in it for extended fuel life. The cost for parts was spot on with what I could purchase on my own, which I appreciate the minimal markup, if any. I got very lucky, and they were able to get me in the same day for the mechanicals, and done quickly. The price for labor seemed reasonable to me, as my work required two people. They were also able to accommodate me bringing the boat in off the water, and on to one of their trailers for the work. Just a really nice experience all the way around. And sadly, there are some bad marinas on the chain. Thank you to Todd Scott and Dick.

Place is clean & it looks like it just got remodeled. Beautiful water view. Am I coming back maybe. But if I have to wait that long to order my food. NO THANK YOU!

How does one review a marina?…read more As of late, I've been including a lot of Wikipedia definitions in reviews. I have been doing this for a number of reasons: 1. knowledge is power, 2. the more you know... (star trail, sing song xylophone, dun dun dun duuuun!), and 3. context is king Clearing up any misconstructions/understanding proper definitions of things (foodstuffs, etc.) creates a better climate in which to appreciate a review and properly understand context. (See my Cempazuchi review in which a Mexican torta is clearly defined via Wikipedia. Some folks might not have had a torta ever in their lives, you see? Maybe the torta they'd experienced was of the French variety... which is a very different thing, you see? You see what I mean, you see?) --- Marina, from Wikipedia: A marina (from Spanish, Portuguese and Italian marina, "coast" or "shore") is a dock or basin with moorings and supplies for yachts and small boats. A marina differs from a port in that a marina does not handle large passenger ships or cargo from freighters. The word marina is also used for inland wharves on rivers and canals that are used exclusively by non-industrial pleasure craft such as canal narrowboats. --- So now, a review for Skipper Bud's Marina, of which I had the distinct pleasure of hanging out at/on this past Sunday afternoon. Skipper Bud's, in a nutshell: they'll take care of your boat for you. They house a crapton of boats, from smaller four-person vessels to giant-sized super-rich person yachts. They have three storehouses, and tons of heavy loading equipment that will scoop any size boat of the water and gently place it into its designated housing area. Boat storage at Skipper Bud's is crazy... they stack boats three high on super industrial boat-holders/pallet-type things. They have three storehouses, each holding somewhere around 150 boats. Math! They put them in the water, they take them out of the water. It works like this: you reserve dock space for any specific date/time, and Skipper Bud's takes care of the rest. It's water camping, ostensibly! Seems like the staff knows all of the boat owners/inhabitants on any given day. They're friendly, helpful, and funny. Notice I'm not reviewing Barnacle Bud's. Notice I'm not reviewing the water itself. I'm reviewing the staff and facilities as Skipper Bud's Marina, a very different thing (although together they create one very unique spot in MKE that you won't find anywhere else... that's for sure)!

They use a shady, heartless, sociopathic towing service that refused to return needed medicine to…read moreus. While visiting Milwaukee for the first time on Memorial Day, and trying out Barnacle Buds, we were towed from a line of cars not blocking anything. That's fine, we will pay. The towing company Best Towing, towed our vehicle but wouldn't allow us to get it, they were actively towing but you were unable to get your vehicle. My wife's Lupus medicine was in the vehicle and they wouldn't let us get it until the following morning at 8 am. My wife needs her doses every morning and evening. We explained the situation to Stephanie, the dispatcher, and she told us to "Go to the ER." We flagged down the drivers and they refused to talk to us, just drove away as I pleaded for my wife's medicine. We just needed the medicine. We had to ask SkipperBuds's drydock managers to call Best Towing while one of the employees, actively drinking, berated us, and they still weren't sure if their towing company would allow us to get the medicine. Bear in mind, this is Memorial Day, doctor's offices weren't open for my wife to get an emergency refill. Best Towing company finally gave us their address after a third call and we Ubered there. We waited outside the gate for a tow truck to return and pleaded again through chain-link. They finally they gave us our medicine (though we could not pay for our vehicle then, that would have to wait until they added on a forced overnight fee). Though we weren't blocking anything at all, not even the closed main office of Skipper Buds, we were towed on Memorial Day. I understand that, I'm willing to pay. But to take our belongings, including vitally important medicine, and refuse to give that medicine back is sociopathic. These are bad people, SkipperBud's employees know these people by name, they continue to use them.
