Madisonville, Louisiana has a rich history on the river. President James Madison, itโs name sake, stopped by on his way to New Orleans. Lake Pontchartrain is a quick boat ride down river from the Marinaโs boat launch if you are looking for open waters. If you are taking the boat out for a weekend of fishing, sailing, wakeboarding, paddleboarding, or even just a leisure cruise on the lake, Marina del Ray is a great place to start. We hope you enjoy your time out on the water. Read more

This is a great Marina to dock your boat at. It's very safe doing hurricane season. They are in the process of renovating their docks to cement docks. They have tight security and security cams all over. They have one of the best maintenance man over there keeping ing the docs in tip top shape. Name Lewis he's one of the best out of all the marinas I have seen maintenance band. You almost could call him a harbor Master

Nice marina on the beautiful Tchefuncte River in Madisonville, Louisiana. Awesome staff. Very friendly, professional, and always helpful. From Reagan in the office, to Kari and Alex on the docks, to all the other staff, great service from all!

Clean, well maintained marina where you can keep your boat safely. Make sure to check out The Blind Tiger bar/restaurant while you're there.

I visited The Blind Tiger by the Tchefuncte River today and it was a great experience. As I enjoyed a refreshing drink, I couldn't help but be captivated by the breathtaking view. The spectacular sunset over the river was nothing short of magical, and to top it off, a near full moon rose from the east, casting its enchanting glow.
While I indulged in the beauty of the moment, I ordered a Cheddar Bacon Burger for my son. Let me tell you, he was not only delighted but also in absolute awe of the magnificent views. The friendly service added to our memorable experience.
The Blind Tiger is more than just a place to have food and drinks, it's a destination for those also seeking the wonders of nature.
Highly recommended.

Located in Madisonville off of Highway 22 this Marina can facilitate storing your boat. Has a restaurant open Wednesday through Sunday with a great atmosphere

The marina is a great place and has a ton of potential.
The only downfall is how poorly it is managed.
I cancelled a slip on August 2nd of 2020,
having paid through August so I gave plenty of notice.
I spoke with 3 different people about that being my last month.
To this day I still get billed every month , over 2 years later.
I've called multiple times and emailed.
Still no success on getting it taken care of.

The bar was not open when I was there. Which would have been nice since I was working there I would have liked to be able to get a cold glass of ice water or a drink. They use to have a swimming pool that was open to renters of boat slips, but ida messed it up so it would be nice if they could rebuild the pool so renters could have access to it again.

Visited this little restaurant/bar for the first time 8/1/2021. Hands down the rudest, most unfriendly staff Iโve ever encountered. Not sure if it was me, what I did or if this is the general demeanor but felt more than unwelcome. Never going back. Shame because it could be a cool little hang out.

Good place , well located, and I like the floating dock. The price I a little high but you get access to showers, pool, and a bunch of other amenities. There are a few boats for sale if you are looking for that.
