Medium-sized marina with multiple piers full of boats, adjacent striped asphalt parking lot with several vehicles, and a few buildings near residential areas.
Sergeant Marina is located in Saugatuck, Michigan, along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, where the Kalamazoo River meets the vast freshwater expanse of the Great Lakes, offering a scenic setting amid rolling dunes and coastal forests in southwestern Michigan. It serves recreational boating and sailing activities, catering to enthusiasts exploring the waters of Lake Michigan for leisure pursuits in this popular Great Lakes region. This area is known for its access to both riverine and open-lake navigation, drawing boaters to the unique blend of inland and Great Lakes environments.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
