It's a nice spot. I have not had any experience with them as far as docking or storage. Anything on the Tom's River is nice, it is picture perfect and a great storm hole.
What are you looking for? It is a bit of a run to the inlet from there. Up the river and out to the mouth of Oyster Creek Channel will take you about 20 minutes moving along pretty good. Then you have another 10 to 15 minutes to the inlet depending on boat traffic.
Try sending Ray Belanger a PM. Not sure if he is still around but he docks on the other side of the river, he may be able to help you out.

Been a customer for 25 years. Keep my boats there in the winter. IMO, The yard does good work and I trust them. Patrick runs the yard

Do they allow enough room on the winter storage to be able to wash and detail your boat in the spring ?, I drove through at the end of the season looked like they packed them in pretty tight? Thanks again

Unfortunately, that seems to be the name of the game today. I use to be at a place that gave you plenty of room. They used the Travel lift to set the boats up so they could only pack as tight as the lift would allow them. More and more marina's are taking them off the Travel lift and putting them on a trailer and packing them in tight.
The Marina I use to use was sold, and I bailed. The place I am at now, I like the yard and people, but it is tight. Getting a step ladder in is a chore.
