A landmark at the headwaters of northern Michigan's Inland Waterway, near Harbor Springs and Petoskey. Windjammer Marina is the oldest marina along Michigan's pristine Inland Waterway. We offer a ship's store, full boat and watercraft service, a rental fleet and everything else a boater might need.

We still maintain the professional service our customers have come to expect over the past century. Stop in off the water or start your adventure here - either way we will be here to serve you! - Jack & Anne Johnston, owners. We are a full-service Yamaha Waverunner and Cypress Cay Pontoon Boat dealer, and we service all makes and models of boats and watercraft.
Services
Windjammer Marina is located on Crooked Lake, part of Michigan's Famed Inland Waterway. Every day you can boat in a different area that has a flavor all of its own connected by rivers to other lakes. You can journey all the way to Lake Huron from our boat house.

Depending on your journey, you can boat through traditional draw bridges, locks, and unique swinging bridges - all of which are still operated by people whose families have lived on these unique waterways for generations.
Windjammer Marina has the longest continuously operating service department on the Inland Waterway. We have been taking care of vacationers and residents for over a hundred years. We make your boats as trouble-free as possible so that you can enjoy your time on the water without worry. Our goal is to give you turn-key service.
Yamaha WaveRunners - Yamaha's NanoXcel ultra-lightweight, high strength material reduces the weight of the hull, deck, and liner by 25% and provides performance gains in acceleration, fuel savings, top speed, and handling. Additionally, the NanoXcel material offers a shinier, gem-like finish which reduces surface tension on the water, providing a more nimble, responsive ride.

From start to finish our experience with Windjammer Marina was wonderful. We rented a pontoon boat for a day; the staff was always very pleasant and extremely thorough and helpful. The boat was immaculate, the weather was gorgeous......we hope to do this again next summer. Thank you for a lovely day!

I would give it 6 stars if I could! Easy on line boat rental! Staff was exceptional and so was the quality of the boat we rented! Thank all of you for a wonderful day on Crooked Lake!

All the reviews say these are the nicest people ever - and they are all correct! Loved our day out on the water on a beautifully kept boat. The owners did a great job walking us through all we needed to know, and we had a super relaxing day on Crooked Lake.

I called in Feb to inquire about parking my truck and trailer there while we experienced the inland water way for the first time in. Talked to Patty. She was very helpful. Informed me it is under new ownership. I missed the fact that I needed to call in the spring to reserve a parking spot. Thankfully Anne was able to get me in and it all worked out. Very friendly place and will go there again and next time with a reservation! Thank you Anne!

We rented a pontoon boat big enough for 10 adults. Boat was all clean, had full tank of gas, beautiful lake to explore. Prices were very fair, we rented from 6-9pm. Took our own coolers, food, etc. Great experience!

This marina has great rentals and great staff. Patty at the desk was great when i was deciding to rent a triton a few months back before our vacation. I was in between choosing a different location in Michigan and she objectively described the pros and cons of each. Not pushing Crooked Lake, but instead a true caring person who wanted me to get the most of my vacation. She steered me to a great tritoon that fit all my needs for my mother in law and friends who were with us. Large canopy, restroom, and powerful engine for fun. When i arrived she immediately described all the great things on the

Just wanted to say a huge "THANK YOU" to the staff at Windjammer Marina! We rented a pontoon boat for a family trip on the Inland Waterway. The pontoon was clean and well maintained. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our day on the water. We will be recommending Windjammer Marina to all our family and friends!

Rented the 20' pontoon boat for 4 days, as others have noted, prices are a bit high but the service was fantastic. Patti marked up an inland waterway map for me for places my son and I should check out, how long it took to get places etc. They also helped me out by getting the boat to and from where I was staying since I was the only legal aged driver.

These people are great. Some of the best customer service you can find. The boat we rented was super clean (12volt outlet did not work to charge or phones). They made it super easy to rent and return the boat. Thank you, thank you, family had a great time.
