Expansion and Upgrades at Iowa Marina
Published on November 4, 2024A short drive north of Des Moines, Saylorville Lake remains one of Iowa’s premier boating destinations. Owned and operated by Suntex Marinas, Saylorville Lake Marina will soon become even more of a community hub thanks to new improvements to its upland facilities and amenities. One of the larger updates in the new master plan is the complete interior overhaul of a gathering place aptly named “The Bridge,” which opened last October.
Previously, this space within the marina’s store and service building was the Fleetwood restaurant. The Bridge has been reimagined into a new captain’s lounge complete with three shower stalls, a clean-up area for boaters and space for relaxation and games such as air hockey and Foosball. It offers plenty of tables and bar areas for guests, a business center and an outdoor patio complete with barbecue and yard area.
Also on the horizon is a new dry storage building slated for completion and grand opening this December. Other planned renovations include all new docks and platforms in the 100-dock area, including entirely new Circle of Boating slips for the rentals and boat club, a new marine and rental store on the docks, a new storage shed for equipment and towables for the rentals and an all-new restaurant and grill, set to debut next summer. In addition to the restaurant and bar on the dock, a new multi-purpose snack shop will also open next year for guests and visitors to the marina. Other improvements include a covered roof for slips on the 600-dock and electrical upgrades on several docks.
