The marina has been in operation since 1974, though it’s had its share of ups and downs over the years. In 2008, the marina suffered damage following a devastating storm. Two disastrous floods followed in 2010 and 2011.
The current marina owners, Lisa and Wayne Breedlove, came on board in 2012 to help pick up the pieces and revitalize the operation to its former popular state. Since then, the marina has grown from 160 slips to more than 260 covered slips that range from 20 to 100 feet. The marina also offers transient slips, a paved launch ramp, a bathouse with showers, diesel and 90 octane recreational fuel, and much more.
Recently, the marina has added new slips at the end of its 120-foot fuel dock to hold its 2017 tritoon rentals. The tritoons can be rented by guests in either four- or eight-hour increments.
During the season, boaters can except to enjoy live music and libations every Friday and Saturday night and on Sunday afternoons in its 350-seat restaurant, Hu-B’s at Kuttawa.
Food For All
Hu-B’s at Kuttawa, formerly known as the Kuttawa Harbor Marina Restaurant, used to have a floating patio, but it was damaged by a storm in 2008.
The expansive menu includes wings, appetizers, salads, wraps, desserts and a variety of entrees — plus its signature Hu-B Burger, an 8-ounce Angus beef burger topped with grilled onions, bacon, cheddar cheese and barbecue sauce, served on a toasted Kaiser roll. Beer, wine and spirits are also available. A breakfast buffet is served from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday from May to September; the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from April through October.
