Scorpion Bay Marina

I kept my boat at Pleasant Harbor Marina for one year and at Scorpion Bay Marina for two years. Night and day difference between marinas. The manager Chris has always cared and made sure to say hello anytime he saw me on the dock. Taylor is also an awesome dude and the rest of the crew that work at Scorpion Bay has always been helpful and friendly. I forgot the guys name that managed Dillion’s and the convenient store but he was also really cool. Dillion’s is good food. For those that say this Marina is known as the «party» marina then I am assuming you haven’t been to pleasant harbor behind the gates. I will leave a separate review for PHM but if your reading this and thinking about saving a few bucks at pleasant harbor marina, trust a person that has experienced both sides and dock your boat at Scorpion Bay. If I ever get back into boating, this will be my marina of choice with out a hesitation.

We rented a boat a little pontoon boat while vacationing in Arizona. It was super easy and a gorgeous lake! Highly recommend this marina and the boat rentals.

An update to my review of Scorpion Bay now that we are boat owners. Great place with great service and a great staff. I’m happy with our decision to moor our boat here.

If you’re looking for a place to park your boat, this is a great spot. Facilities — dock, restaurant, small shop, fuel dock and public and private restrooms — are neat and clean. Staff is helpful to beginning boaters. Atmosphere is casual and sometimes a little raucous with music and drinking, but so far (after ~5 weekends of fun in our new boat) nothing crazy. Traffic getting out on Sunday evening can be busy. Parking lot is partly paved and part dirt, but no spots are long walks — much less of a hassle getting to the dock than over at Pleasant Harbor.

Great little marina in the middle of the lake, they have a good selection of boat accessories, Dillion’s BBQ is right on the dock and staff is always helpful. I am not a member, but a frequent visitor and they’ve even given me a jump for free when I left my stereo on. Check it out if you’re on lake pleasant great place to stock up and cool off.

A great place to go if you need almost anything while staying at the lake. The guys that help with the gas are amazing.

Outstanding customer service. Very accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend renting a boat from them.

I was pleasantly pleased with Scorpion Bay Marina. Known more as the «party marina,» since it’s a public marina, I found everything to be seamless, clean and the staff to be friendly! Scorpion Bay does it all. They do boat rentals, docking for your own boat and they also have a fun restaurant called Dillons. It’s a great place to begin and end your day at the lake!

Nice marina with a great restaurant! Dillions is great in town and better on the lake if you ask me. Great BBQ and the staff isn’t bad to look at either (doesn’t hurt that everyone is wearing bathing suites). The place is new so its nice and clean, ate here twice but have not just hung at the bar yet. The food blows away Pleasant Harbor but its been a while since I have eaten there. Only complaint is that its another 10 minutes to get here over pleasant harbor where I normally drop my boat in the water. Oh yeah the elevator is super slow and you must use it to get large items like ice chests down to the marina but at least they have an option. Those are hardly things to complain about so check it out if you havent and even if you dont have a boat, just come down and take the wife to dinner here. Its not fancy (very casual) but good food and good service… and great view!

Great boats, awesome service, im looking forward to our next visit

An excellent full-​service marina facility. They have everything a boater needs; fuel at a reasonable price, pump-​out, food, convenience store, and great docks. The service is excellent and pretty much everything we have ever asked for has been met with a friendly «yes!» An excellent place to keep a boat, visit for a weekend, overnight, or the day.

I visited Lake Pleasant in April 2012 and rented a boat from Scorpion Bay Boat Rentals. The staff was terrific, they made the paperwork quick and were easy to work with. I called around and their prices were the best I found and they have nice boats (Sea~Rays). They have a restaurant on the dock that has awesome views and good food — what’s not to like about this place.

While my review is sort of one sided I will speculate a little on the other services as well.
The SB is a nice nook of the far side of the lake. There is boat rentals, dry storage, wet storage and even a great place to eat.
The staff on the bay seem really attentive and nice. We do plan on renting something this summer.
If you are just camping and need ice they have it! Or if you need gas they have that too!
Beautiful part of the lake!

I was on a Jet Ski and needed to fill up my sister’s and mine. The guy who met us there helped us out by working the fuel pump and helping us gas up so we could be on our way fast! lol I will go back here agian. Dillons is a whole other story. Food made me sick. not properly cooked or old. but this review is not for dillons though others have posted here.

Dillons is Dillons … the restaurant itself is nothing spectacular (it’s not bad … it’s actually pretty good) but the view at Scorpion Bay Marina is absolutely beautiful. When we went, we ate outside right on the deck on the marina and it has a gorgeous view, literally on the water.

Very good service and good food. Beautiful setting, marina is rght next to the restaurant and open to the public to stroll around.
My only complaint was people feeding the ducks from their table. We left but some older people were visibly upset with all the racket and fat ducks flying up at them.

I concur with Carlos A. It may not have been an obvious option that there was take out food from Dillon’s but nonetheless there certainly is. If it is served at the restaurant, it can be ordered to go. If you are having a party on the boat they will also serve it how ever it is convenient for you. If you would like, they will also put the (for example) burnt ends in a separate tub for you to make the sandwiches later on water. In short what I have learned at Scorpion Bay Marina and Dillon’s as well it that all you have to do is ask. The friendly staff is just happy to have your business. I highly suggest this facility. Go out there and enjoy the views. While there, ask questions to any of the staff members. Their attitudes make it obvious that they love what they do.

Great ribs, great service, great views… and waitresses in bikini tops!

I only know Scorpion Bay as a visitor, not a member. It certainly looks nicer and newer than Pleasant Harbor, that’s for sure. But that’s where it ends for me.
We stopped by to check it out, re-​stock the beer, and grab something to eat. We succeeded on two counts.
Their store is very, very small. They did have beer, and some food, but mostly chips and the like. I was hoping for a sandwich or hot dog — something a little more substantial.
If you didn’t want chips, the other option is Dillon’s. Nice! I’ve had Dillon’s BBQ before at their main location, and found it pretty good.
But I didn’t want to sit down and have a big meal. I wanted to get back on the water. I was hoping they would have a walk-​up bar or something where I could grab a pulled pork sandwich and some fries to go. Alas, table service only.
So we checked out Scorpion Bay, got some beer, and a couple granola bars — two out of three.
