Snug Harbor Docks

Snug Harbor Marina boasts 54 slips from 20’ to 75’ in length. Both 110 Volt/30 AMP and 220 Volt/50 AMP and water are available in all docking areas. Two extensive walls, 250 feet in length, bordering the west and north sides of the peninsula are prime locations for larger vessels preferring to tie up along the wide landscaped lawns.

Our goal is to provide you the very best in your cruising experience and will do whatever we can to help you enjoy Snug Harbor Marina and the quaint town of Pentwater.

During the summer months when cruising is at its peak it is not possible to take reservations except for the largest vessels.  Owners are encouraged to call the morning of their expected arrival to check on dock availability. We monitor Channel 16 and can be easily reached after rounding either Big or Little Sable Points to confirm your arrival in the Harbor.

Boaters are generally a happy group and enjoy meeting others. Careful allocation and creative rafting on the walls and within the wide wells allow accommodation for all but the latest arrivals.

"Canim" came into Pentwater Port on July12-13 and stayed at Snug Harbor

CANIM is one of eight ships of her class constructed from  1928-1930. All of which are still in service. CANIM is one a series of four 96 footers, designed by renowned naval architect, Ted Geary and built at Lake Union Drydocks in Seattle, WA in 1929 and 1930.
While each of these boats is unique, they share enough similarities and are regarded as sisters. (CANIM’s sister vessels are: “Blue Peter”, Seattle, WA; Electra, Newport Beach, CA; and Principia, Newport, RI.
Geary was already a seasoned Naval Architect when he was commissioned to draw CANIM for Seattle Times publisher, Col. C. B. Blethen. Blethen wanted to go yachting in style and Geary’s design would be the toast of the Seattle Yacht Club.
Built in 1930, CANIM was an immediate head turner. After all, in those days 96’ yachts were rare. The derivation of the name is from the Chinook Indian tribe of the Northwest and means “Big Chief Canoe”, one of the great cedar canoes of the coastal tribes.

Length: 96'4"      Draft: 7'6" Cruising Speed: 10 KNOTS
