With more than 53 years of continuous operation, Holiday on Lake Lanier holds the distinction of being the oldest marina on the lake and, by its own account, the largest and closest full-service marina to metro Atlanta. The facility is located at 6900 Lanier Island Parkway in Buford, Georgia 30518, positioned at the south end of Lake Lanier near Lake Lanier Islands. Buford sits in Gwinnett County, within the broader Atlanta metro area and accessible to boaters from across the region.
The marina’s slip capacity is approximately 1,300 wet slips accommodating vessels from 22 to 100 feet in length, qualifying it as one of the largest floating inland marinas in Georgia. The facility operates under Suntex management and functions across several distinct service divisions. Boat slip rentals are the primary commercial offering, with new slips currently available according to the website.
Singleton Marine provides in-house maintenance and repair services, including towing, giving boat owners convenient access to mechanical support without leaving the marina. A ship store on the property handles boating supplies and convenience purchases. The Twisted Oar, an on-site food and beverage venue, serves marina guests and visitors.
Several partner businesses operate through the marina, expanding the range of on-water activities available to customers. Aqua Sports Adventures serves as the marina’s premier boat rental company, offering family-oriented rental experiences. Freedom Boat Club provides a membership-based boating alternative for customers who want on-water access without boat ownership. Two sailing academies, Lanier Sailing Academy and Windsong Sailing Academy, offer instruction at the facility for sailors at varying skill levels.
A customer portal is available for account management, and Suntex network partner benefits apply to members. Marina maps and boating safety resources are accessible through the website. The facility is listed on Facebook and Google. General inquiries can be directed to (770) 945-7201, and an email subscription option is available for marina news and promotions.
