They also have a restaurant, Shipp's Dockside Grill, that has casual dining downstairs and full service dining upstairs. They also offer charters along with yacht and engine repairs. They also offer boat and yacht sales if you need that. Overall this is a nice spot to visit and enjoy the experience, sights and food.

I've only used Captain Frady's charter here and highly highly recommend him, his crew, and his Hatteras Sportfisher, "Distraction." For dining, Shipps has two restaurants at the marina, "Lower Deck" which is casual counter service restaurant (opens at 11 AM daily) and "Upper Deck," which is family friendly full service restaurant (opens at 4 PM daily). The Dock Store at the marina offers Yeti products, sunglasses, flip flops, drinks, ice cream, souvenirs, jewelry, clothing, and more. This is such a convenience for last minute things you forgot prior to a boating excursion. I've always enjoyed visiting Orange Beach Marina! In 2008 its complete rebuild was finished post Hurricane Ivan, and it really is a lovely, clean, fun marina!

My husband is the primary boater and just recently turned 70 and has developed knee issues (total knee replacement surgery). We were no longer able to get in and out of the boat safely without falls so the time came to sell the boat. At this point our boat had been at Barber for 18 months with never a problem. We pulled the boat, told the marina we were cancelling and fully expected to get hit with at least one months charges for a "30 day notice". That is not what happened. They told us since we did not cancel at the one year mark the contract automatically rolled over for another year - we were never informed it was an auto renew. My bad for not catching that but still we gave them 30 days notice. They then told us we would have to pay the monthly rate for the time it had been in the boatel AND they kept our security deposit. When we asked them why we weren't getting at least our security deposit back we were told that was the policy since we did not cancel at the one year mark. That's crap. This place is just looking for ways to separate you from your money - go some place else. Lastly, there's nothing out there. No restaurants, no shops, no nothing. Just this really crappy marina.

Barber Marina has lots of good reviews by visitors citing the pristine grounds, the statues, the…read moreclean, pristine grounds... and that is all true. The staff are friendly & professional when you first walk up. But when it really comes down to it, to money, to the opportunity for actual integrity and fair business beyond cheap talk, friendly tones, and smiles, that's when things get a little uglier. I chose their advertised "Bottom Job" at the published per-foot rate -- about $3,500 for my boat, paint included. It was presented as a normal, defined service: prep the bottom, paint it, put the boat back in the water. Nothing made it clear that the price could multiply several times over, or that the boat could, as result, end up trapped in the yard while daily fees just kept running indefinitely. Once they hauled it, they said they would only put ten hours into it. When that did almost nothing, it became $150 an hour per guy. The "flat rate" job was suddenly heading toward $15k-$18k, realistically, if they were to complete their 'Bottom Job like they were supposed to for $3,500'. I brought people in and we put over 100 hours into that bottom ourselves. Still didn't do shit. So I rented sandblasting equipment, fully wrapped the boat in tarps, and was just about to start. One of their guys came over acting innocently curious and interested in what I was doing... then, without saying or implying I wasn't allowed to sandblast, went and reported me. They said I couldn't sandblast because the sand could travel. Fair, but I'd just... enclosed my boat. "Yeah, but liability" Of what... sandblasting equipment is safe compared to other things I've been doing... "Yeah, but, rules are rules". They said they could move me soon but not yet so I had to rent the several hundred dollar / day equipment through the weekend and finally after delays they moved me to their "sandblasting booth" for another $1,400. It was outdoor, three (not four) metal walls with no roof and that let sand blow all throughout the yard, incomparably more than my tarps would have, if at all. I literally watched the sand blow throughout much of the yard on multiple occasions, onto peoples boats. They hurried me out of the spot because someone else was supposed to move in before I was able to finish. I then said I needed to go back in and finish it, and they said I wasn't allowed to sandblast, and that one of them had just let me do it as a favor even though they weren't supposed to. (Someone who knows how to incorporate integrity and fairness into business, who unfortunately was not in the management position.) They randomly said I had to pay $2,500 upfront before they'd blast it. Even though I'd already taken most of the coating off, they still charged $3,500. It was also two weeks before they were able to put me in, when it was only supposed to be a few days. When I asked if they would be charging me for all those daily rates while I was waiting to be sandblasted, they said "of course", like it was unreasonable that I'd ask. They stopped while big sections still had coatings I could easily and widely flake off with my fingers, then said they were finished and weren't doing anything more. Finally, they said they'd finish sandblasting, but only if I bought the rest of the material (+$400). The whole time the $80-$90 a day storage fees just kept adding up. By the end I was looking at around $15,000. That's the best their staff can do as a "favor.", and they had to break the rules to do it. I was already thousands over the original quote just trying to finish the job they were supposed to do, and the "favor" was not charging me even more after they stopped me. This is the real problem: if you authorize what looks like a defined bottom job at a published per-foot rate, and the cost jumps several times higher, you may not be able to pay the boat out, finish the work, or get it back in the water. The boat ends up stuck in the yard -- not because you wanted to store it there, but because the bill got so high you can't get it out. Then the daily fees just keep compounding, way past the original price and past what the boat is even worth. That's exactly what happened to me. From the day they hauled it, I was already trapped. Barber Marina, unlike any boatyard I'm aware of, also does not offer yearly rates, so their daily fee (around $80 for me), which would not have been a problem if the bottom job only took a few days like they said, adds up quite quickly over a span of your vessel being stuck there. These are my raised points of confusion and concerns about their business model, their shady practices, their handling of customers, and their misleading advertising. If you're thinking about doing any bottom work here, just understand that their 'Bottom Job' service, may not render your boat in any sort of condition where it's ready to be hauled, short of a difference up to several times the fixed, per foot rate they advertise.

It was not until I left the dealership in Owensboro , Kentucky armed with a 12 hours audio book on CD for my return trip to Birmingham that I discovered " those are a thing of the past and are not even offered as a factory add on" After grumbling about it for four years and paying Sirius for songs she did not like or want to hear, I finally woke up to having a sound shop install her an aftermarket CD player, but I HATE those add ons with a little wired remote and knew she would too. But since our 21st anniversary was coming up Friday, I stabbed in the dark on Monday and struck SOLID GOLD !! I got Shawn, parts manager at Paul's Sound in Foley. We discussed my dilemma. While I held he found the perfect solution. A quality aftermarket CD player that fits inside the console and is totally controlled through the touch screen on the Cadillac. It was in stock at his distributor in Marietta Georgia. I gave Shawn the green light and at noon Friday four days later , I drove away from Paul's listing to Otis Redding on Abby's CD on her Anniversary present. The quality is excellent, the price very affordable, the service ..PRICELESS. P. S. I expected a one man small sound shop, but was pleasantly amazed that it is a large retail store with marine equipment, custom wheel, huge sound systems, several professional installers and so much more. I would give them six stars if possible !!

Speaking of doing work on the boat, there are a number of very useful professional metal fabricators, a canvas shop, and expert diesel mechanics within a few minutes walk. Grocery stores are within a mile or so, as are Tippy's Tavern, West Marine (closing this month unfortunately), and theres another restaurant called The Oarhouse five minutes away by dinghy. Pelican's Perch was a GREAT find for us, and I very highly recommend it for anyone on a budget needing to do work on their boat.

A red power-steering warning light appeared during the sea trial and was explicitly brushed off by the salesperson. After purchase, the steering intermittently failed--an obvious safety risk. An independent mechanic later discovered severe damage to the steering system, including scorched wiring and a failed pump requiring nearly $7,000 in repairs. I was never provided service records despite requesting them. The boat was also delivered with standing water inside the hull, disabling the bilge system. I found this out during pre-checks and then again on the water. The response from sales was dismissive and unacceptable. Communication failures were constant: * Parts "ready" but missing * Conflicting answers from staff * Wasted trips * No follow-through Escalating to the parent company resulted in a call from the GM telling me it was no longer his issue.
