South Bass Island in Lake Erie offers several choices for Put-in-Bay docks in marinas, both public and private. When boating to the island, many Put-in-Bay docks are on a first-come-first-served basis, so plan to arrive early on busy weekends and holidays. The village of Put-in-Bay maintains three large boat docks in the downtown area. Two are managed by the Put-in-Bay Village and the other known as “B” dock is managed by the DeRivera park trust. Some privately owned boat docks accept advance reservations and weekends tend to fill up early in the week.
While docking at Put-in-Bay’s public marinas, you may be required to “raft off” from up to 2 to 4 vessels. Plan ahead and bring your boat fenders and an appropriate amount of lines, and always practice courteous boat rafting.
While utilizing the Put-in-Bay docks, golf carts, bicycles and mopeds may be rented for your transportation needs by the hour, day, or overnight for several days at a time from Delaware Cart and Bike Rental, located just across the park. Advance reservations are recommended as you do not want to show up to the Put-in-Bay Docks only to find out golf carts are sold out! Fuel is available for purchase to the west of the Put-in-Bay Docks at the Boardwalk Restaurant & Marina Complex.
