Fuel for the afternoon, supplies before launching or help with the boat: Lake Tillery's marinas serve different needs around the shoreline.
Lilly's Bridge Marina serves the south lake with fuel, storage, service and provisions. Cook's Marina is a west-shore stop for fuel, repairs and supplies. The Boat House adds a meal to its fuel and customer-dock services.
The service you need determines where to go. For inland dealers or repair shops, plan a road arrival. For launching your own boat, the public-ramp guide is a separate starting point.
Fuel hours, repair capacity and transient docking are worth discussing before setting out. Let the marina know whether you are arriving by road or water, and ask about any arrangements for the boat.
For rentals, use the rental operator's pickup and return instructions. Overnight mooring and storage also need their own agreement; neither comes automatically with a daytime marina visit.
Compare the services below, then contact the marina about the arrangements you need.
