The renovations at John Henry's have truly transformed the marina! The slips are now spacious and conform to wider standards, making it enjoyable for boating. The staff was welcoming, and even though the store had fewer items in October, it was still a pleasant experience overall. However, it's clear that the fuel dock will be quite busy during the summer season due to its unique location.

I had a great experience at John Henry's after their renovations. The new marina slips are impressive, offering plenty of space and easy access. The staff was friendly, though I noticed the store was a bit lacking in stock during my October visit. Overall, it's a nice spot, particularly for boaters, but expect it to be busier in the summer with limited items in the shop.

I was really impressed with the recent renovations at John Henry's; the reconfigured marina slips are stunning, especially with their wide approaches making docking a breeze. The staff was welcoming, which added to the positive vibe. However, I did notice that the store was a bit understocked during my October visit. It's definitely the go-to spot for fuel in Pender Harbor, so I can only imagine how busy it gets in the summer.
