Larsen’s Marina

Keith and Jeanie Larsen were great hosts and hard working people that obviously put their guests and customers first. Their staff in both the marina and the café were friendly and accommodating, reflecting the Larsen’s passion to run a family friendly business.
Our family had a wonderful stay at their beautiful space above the marina. Breakfast at their Bay Breeze Café was delicious. We will definitely be visiting again.

Larsen’s will always get a favorable review from me because my dad’s been taking my siblings and I there since we were kids to go crabbing every summer. I have such great memories of being woken up at 6am by my dad, driving the 45 min. to Larsen’s, and then waking up in the car just as we pull into their bleach-​white gravel parking lot for a long day of crabbing. So while this experience may be based largely on nostalgia and the fact that my dad always PAYS (crabbing’s not cheap, even when you bring your own lines!), I will always love this place.
The dock is super low-​key, low-​maintenance; you go in, tell them what you want/​need, and you pay. They give you a tide chart and explain where to do; they’re also honest about the catching conditions, too. If it’s weak, they let you know; if you’ll come back with a good loot, they’ll tell you that, too. If you’ve never crabbed or fished before I highly recommend coming here because the staff is so nice.
Over the decades our boats have NEVER broken down and there are always people on the docks waiting to help push you out & pull you in.
Leave a $ 40 cash-​only deposit (be prepared with cash!) and your ID and you can rent a boat for half a day or a full day. Half days are about 4 hours, full days are 8 hours (keep in mind — full days are only an extra $ 10 and well worth it!) You can pay w/​credit cards, just not the deposit. They sell crab traps (but handlines are much cheaper and way more fun), nets, bunker and all the other stuff you need for crabbing. They give you a bucket for trash, and you should bring extra for what you catch (and a cooler, of course, for snacks & beer). This weekend we rented 2 boats for full-​day (5 ppl per boat max, but 4 is ideal) and purchased some bunker for just under $ 170. Of course we also had 8 hours in the sun and caught about 5 or 6 dozen crabs. Such a good time.
