Adelaide Pointe Marina on Muskegon Lake in West Michigan is the first new marina on the Great Lakes in more than 30 years, setting a new standard for the transient boating experience. With 40 slips always reserved for transient guests, Adelaide Pointe is designed specifically for boaters traveling the Great Loop or cruising Lake Michigan who need a full-service, resort-style stop.

Centrally located just minutes from Lake Michigan, the marina offers easy deepwater access and thoughtful amenities rarely found at transient stops. Boaters can expect a smooth arrival, with daily, weekly, and monthly rates all available for quick booking through Dockwa.


Full Access to Amenities

Transient boaters receive full access to all marina amenities. Every slip is equipped with 30, 50, or 100 amp power, municipal water, EV charging, and high-speed Wi-Fi. A 240-foot self-serve fuel dock, the largest and highest-flow on Muskegon Lake, provides diesel and both 87 and 90-octane gasoline. Additional conveniences include dockside pump-out, clean restrooms, private showers, laundry facilities, fish cleaning station, grilling station, and an on-site dockmaster team available to assist with slip assignments, local guidance, and guest needs.

 

Resort-Level Comfort Between Ports

Transient guests enjoy the same premium amenities as long-term slip holders. The marina features a heated lap pool, 10x10 spa, and a comfortable Captain's Lounge overlooking the harbor. The on-site Ship Store offers snacks, drinks, bait, apparel, boating supplies, and everyday essentials, along with pedal and motor bike rentals available directly from the store.

Dining is easy with the Muskegon Brewing Company on the property, offering locally crafted food and drinks. For recreation, the public Leestma Pier wraps the marina with space for walking, fishing, or catching the sunset. The Muskegon Lakeshore Trail, a 12-mile paved path, connects directly to the marina and leads to downtown, beaches, and parks.

Right on site, the Adelaide Events Center regularly hosts exciting public events like car shows, boat shows, and charity fundraisers, along with private weddings and corporate gatherings. It's a great opportunity for transient boaters to experience the local culture and community during their stay.

 

A Smart, Secure Stopover

Adelaide Pointe is designed to give transient boaters peace of mind. The Muskegon County Sheriff's Marine Unit operates directly from the marina, ensuring a safe and secure environment both on and off the water. Heated, oversized garages with water and power are also available for boaters needing extra storage for gear or vehicles.

 

 

A New Standard for Transient Cruising

With its ideal location, transient-first design, and amenities that rival private resorts, Adelaide Pointe Marina offers one of the most convenient and comfortable experiences on the Great Lakes. It's more than just a stop—it's a smart, full-service destination for today's cruising boaters.
