marinas in south haven, MI

Municipal marina has issues with power, you can’t use a 50amp splitter anymore.
 
All Seasons is a great location, they don’t always have slips available though, Woodland Marina is nice and usually has availability, great amenities too. Both are within walking distance of hotels and restaurants. If you go, eat at Captain Lou’s, good food.
 
Right on the Black river by the drawbridge

I'm headed down there in a few weeks. From what I remember they didn't have dual 30's? Hmmm...

I just hung up with them. They still have dual 30a so I am covered. @Stee6043 when are you there? We are there for a few days leading up to the 4th...

Very good to hear on the electric. I'll also be down leading up to/through the 4th. I was hoping for some fireworks! Alas...cancel culture.

I've got a slip July 1-5. We're undecided if we stay for the 4th or cruise someplace else potentially. I think it'll also depend on a bit on the weather.

Us as well. We cruise back to our home port on the 4th and should have a good fireworks show there!
 
we made the trip. northpoint straight across to South Haven ~77 miles each way. tied up at the municipal for couple of hours then made the trip back we couldn't stay over. Next time we will though. We filled to the brim with fuel before leaving NP then re-filled before leaving South Haven and only took 27 gallons. Cruised at ~2,900 rpm which us 29mph. Made two or thee stops on the way to swim and mess around. very efficient little boat.
 
Dang...that's a lotta running to only stay for a couple hours.

Crossing Lake Michigan in a single engine open bow twice in one day, no less! Very impressive...

I'm so used to running on inland lakes that when we saw this dead calm water with about as low of a risk of bad weather as you can have on Lake MI we went for it. loved the 3 hour ride of nothing but open water. to be honest more about that then being in the town of S Haven.

Can't blame you for taking advantage of a day like that!
 
Wow! That was calm water, beautiful day
 
@CAPTAINJEH I made a similar run about 15 years ago on a similar day, solo, on my 24' runabout. Winnetka<>Benton Harbor - about 60 miles. Ran over, got lunch, came back. Just pointed the compass to 90 degrees and let 'er rip. Wonderful experience. I wasn't gutsy enough to leave the boat to swim, however.

Highly recommended if you can find the right day. Doing it on a bowrider really makes you appreciate the magnitude of the lake.

And damn, those barges are moving a lot faster than they seem.
