I am going up to put in bay the 11th - 14th for a friends bachelor party. We are staying at Islander inn on the island. I have never been before so looking for info on some things. I am bringing my 26' runabout and would like to know the best place to arrange for docking nearby the islander inn? Also, where is the best place to launch/ keep my truck on the mainland (as well as the other vehicles in our group). Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Also looking for any good "must see" type things to do/ places to go boat around. Thanks!

I'll update here also...

The best spot to drop in is Mazurik's

Where to dock depends on what you are looking for...

Do you want the "PIB Party Dock up all night stereo blasting" dock or the "I hope to get some sleep dock?"


Oh and be sure to hit the Casino on Kelleys Island,... It's just a few miles away...

we would prefer the party loud music dock. Anyone who wants to sleep will be at the hotel. Which dock is the party one?

B Dock - Party dock, be good to Johnny and he will in turn be good to you

Bring beer money, stock boat with beer, play music, repeat. That's about all there is to do there. You can walk anywhere you want to go, no real need for a golf cart or scooters.

When you leave the island, there is a lot to do via boat. Hook up with someone there to show you around or go boating with for the day. As mentioned before, once you leave that dock, it may be tough to get back in depending on how busy the weekend is. BUT, tell Johnny what you want to do and tip him well, he will do what he can to accommodate you, good guy.

Drink all you want on the boat, but DO NOT step foot onto the dock with an open container.

You have been warned.

We will also be in the area for a bachelor party. I'll have my 47 on B dock, along with a 357 and most likely a few other boats. B dock is the way to go, however the in and out may be difficult. If you are looking for a slip, I would call miller marina.

I may be there this Saturday also, follow channel around green can if coming from south, shallow rocks to the far left closer to land, guys cut it... Don't follow
Yes DO NOT drink on the public docks
Bring lots of rubbers, if your single and can't get laid there you have issues lol

State park docks are a possibility, cheaper, quieter but a little walk.

I'm going to echo Phragle on this one. I usually forget about the state park since it doesn't work for big boats. It's perfect for a 26.

I drew you a little MAP, but my OSO membership has expired, so I cant post pics.

This should work. Pull up, put money in the drop box, and you're good to go.

Just be sure you DO NOT CROSS Gibraltar Bar from Fishery Bay. Come all the way around Gibraltar island.
