Captain Margery is right – the Dog River Marinas are many miles from the city of Mobile. I second her recommendation of Eastern Shore Marine near Fairhope, Alabama, but both Dog River Marina and Grand Mariner Marina on Dog River are also first class pleasure craft facilities!

Hello again
 LIVE in the Mobile Bay area, I don't just 'pass through it'! Yes there are marinas on the Dog River. I've seen them and my impression is that they are not near much of anything. I highly  ecommend Easternshore Marine in Fairhope, AL on the RIGHT side of the Bay! Dog River was badly damaged in the last hurricane,  so was Easternshore, but all are back in business. My choice of the Fairhope area is that it is SO GREAT! The marina is close to town, they have a courtesy car or if you're staying there you can rent a car. Fairhope itself is a 'destination' for many. After stopping there
I ended up moving here!
There is another suggestion…there is a brand new marina called Homeport. It is on the ICW not far from where it enters Mobile Bay from the east. IT is next door to Lulu's restaurant and is in Gulf Shores AL. IT is more protected from hurricanes there. Lulu is Jimmy Buffet's sister and  Homeport is owned by her boyfriend. It is a 1st rate marina, but does not have a 'yard' as do all the others.

Easternshore Marine   251.928.1283
Homeport Marina   251.968.4528
