Marina Dock Age

Tailrace Marina in Mount Holly, N.C., on Lake Wylie, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony April 10, three days after receiving the final approvals for many of its boat slips, according to a report in The Lake Wylie Pilot.

The new marina, built by Mooresville, N.C.-based Rowboat Dock & Dredge, includes 191 slips, both covered and uncovered with dockage up to 31 feet. Of those slips, 67 were set aside for the nearby Riverfront residential community, and 124 slips will be leased to the public. The docks include boatlifts and personal watercraft berths, along with security gates.

The marina also plans to have a fuel and ship store, along with a dockside restaurant run by Midtown Sundries. This year the marina expects to add the fuel dock, pumpout station, restaurant, Wi-Fi service, four picnic areas with grills, laundry, showers and restrooms, a pet walking area, and a vessel maintenance program and rentals for pontoons, kayaks, and canoes.
