I heard a man in his grandson owned this Marina, and that just sounded good. The lady gave a 5 rating based on one day. I seriously doubt she still keeps a boat there today. If you want to know the truth about marina ask the tenants, ask the livaboards, ask a boat owners what they thought of the service. I asked at least 10 people they all said the same thing. When asked about the dock maintenance, they said if you want something fixed here you got to fix it yourself. The people at this Marina had only negative things to say. I would use direct quotes but I would have to use too much profanity. Many of the tenants here remain due to the lack of slips available at other marinas. He made the worst first impression of any man that I've ever met. He refused a handshake and then never looked me in the eye as he told me a different set of lies than what he told me on the phone. Mike Mann doesn't know what the term "boater courtesy" means. I was seeking service and possibly a slip. My boat had become disabled right outside of the Marina's entrance from the water. He refusing parking privileges in his life it was extremely unprofessional and rude. I gave the man a second chance and offered him $100 for parking privileges so that I may access my boat. He closed the door in my face and barked " your letting my air out"and that he would have me towed at my expense if I parked in his lot. I was appalled at the man's behavior. I am the grandson of the man who built many of the beautiful Chris-Craft boats that are still in service today. In my 51 years on the waters from the Colorado to the Tennessee River I've encountered many personalities. I gave Mike Mann another chance. I needed service and the repair required my boat to be out of the water. I talked to several of the men that worked in the shop. None of them knew anything about boats. I was alarmed. I observed them have a boat out of the water for 3 weeks to do a bottom paint. It takes one man 3 days in about 16 actual working hours to do this job. I asked another man who had the bottom of his boat finished here. He said it took over 2 months. This is a job that I have done dozens of times myself. It takes one man no more than 3 days. You can tell the men were struggling and they didn't know what they were doing. Observation strengthened my first impression. This is a poorly managed facility owned by a man that no one respects because of his shady business practices and disrespectful nature. There are docks in disrepair with sunken boats in the bottom of slips. The marina looks like a place where derelicts come to die owned by a man that doesn't care. if someone hadn't told me I would have never guessed this man to be the owner. Given the poor treatment I received the poor service I observed and the testimonies of at least 10 other boat owners that have boats here.. It saddens me, but I have to give this Marina zero Stars. If if there is an investor out there that's interesting in opening Marina we need you in Tennessee. Every Marina from Blue water to the Chickamauga dam is it maximum capacity. there is a 2-year wait on average to get a slip and up to 70 boats in line and few places that offer service.. i would recommend Erwin Marina at the Chickamauga dam. The marina is very well maintained, the staff knowledgeable and experienced. I'm a carpenter and several of my customers slip boats at the Erwin Marina. My friends at this Marina say it cost a little bit more but that's because it's worth it. I saw nothing that even vaguely resembles a yacht at the Big Ridge Yacht club. I found it to be a poorly maintained Marina ran by man that does not know the meaning of the word courtesy. It saddens me as a boatsman, but I have to give this Marina zero Stars. I can't think of anything good I can say about it. If you want to know the truth about a marina, ask the liveaboards that have been there for a while. They're an excellent source of information and most will be completely honest with you as that is a boater courtesy. I am still anchored out, id rather weather the storms slip a boat at big ridge. I need service. I will not seek it at this Marina. This is an honest and accurate non-biased report of my experience. The boat that is disabled is a houseboat bought as a gift for my mother. My boat is a beautiful Trojan f26 that I live aboard year round completely independent of a marina. I hope this was helpful and saves someone from having a bad marina experience. Live in love and peace-- Captain TJ Dennis Zero 's and two for the Big Ridge Yacht club.

I rented a slip today for the season and couldn't have had a better experience. The owner showed me around and was quite friendly. He was also fair about price and made me feel like I am finally home, as I've had my boat in several different local marinas in the past.
