Marquette’s 5-Star Fishing and Cruise Charter
News
We’re gearing up and getting ready for 2026, but there has been a delay.
The Cinder Pond Marina sustained heavy damage this winter and will not be open until late May at the earliest. We are actively working to find another spot to serve customers. Please stay tuned.
