Keith Ott has been working in the marina industry for over 30 years, operating marinas on Portage Lakes, Lake Erie and even in South Florida on the Atlantic Ocean. While the style of boating may differ a little between all of these locations, the formula for success in the operation of a marina is understanding that your product is “FUN.” Says Ott, “That is what we focus on. We constantly ask ourselves how we can continue to make improvements every year to deliver “FUN” to everyone who visits our facilities. We do this by continuously making improvements to our facilities and by adding products and services, such as cottage rental, boat rental, kayak and paddleboard rental; dockage services; RV camping; sales and service of boats and engines; and through the sales of kayaks, paddleboards, bait, tackle, boating, camping and water sports equipment, snacks, ice cream and so much more. We do all this while still maintaining a clean, friendly and peaceful place to enjoy nature.” If you are looking for the quietest place on Earth to just disconnect and relax, the cabin rentals at Leesville South Fork Marina may be just right for you.
