Q. Do you have boat sales?
A. Not at this time. We have in the past carried several lines including Boston Whaler, Lyman, and PennYan but do not have a line currently. Lake Erie Marine Trades assoc has a website with all of Ohio's boat dealers listed at boatohio.com
 
Q. Do you have temporary docks for visitors?
A. Yes we do. If our seasonal dockage is full we sub-lease existing customer's docks out to visitors when they are away or out of the water for service on a first come, first save basis.
 
Q. Do you allow pets?
A. Yes we do. We have a large amount of green space and we ask that your pet is kept on a leash at all times. We also ask that you pick up after your pet in traffic areas. Of course pets are not allowed on the pool deck or in food service areas.
 
Q. How did you get the name Romp's?
A. Robb and Laura Romp purchased the property in the 1957 and thru three generations the Romp family has been happily servicing boaters ever since.
 
Q. I see a bridge in the photos, what kind of clearance do I need?
A. The bridge clearance depends on water levels. On average the space is 10-11ft from water to the bottom of the bridge. Unless you have a fly-bridge on your boat or have a radar arch with some large attachment on the top of it you would not normally have a problem.
 
Q. How far are you from the lake?
A. We are ½ mile or about 6 minutes of idle time. Far enough away to be protected from severe storm/wave conditions.
 
Q. Do you have trailer storage?
A. Yes we do, please feel free to contact us for pricing and availability.
 
Q. Do you allow motorized vehicles such as golf carts or scooters at your marina?
A. Yes and No, we do not allow any large vehicles such as golf carts or ATV's and also do not allow any gas powered vehicles other than your car/truck/motorcycle. We do allow bikes, trikes, scooters, skates and skateboards as long as they do not become a nuisance to other boaters. Electric scooters are allowed as well.
 
Q. Do you allow camping; such as tents, campers, or Winnebago type vehicle?
A. We do allow small tents for overnight use as long as the boater is present and the tent is removed when the customer leaves. Winnebago and other large vehicle campers have to be approved and such use is very limited.
 
Q. I also have a jetski, do you have any storage?
A. Yes we do. We have a supplemental dock contract that allows a person to bring a smaller 2nd vessel for fun boats such as jetskis/jetboats and smaller vessels under 12 ft in length. The cost is $150 for the summer and includes use of the ramp and a land storage area.
 
Q. Are Putter Port and Dairy Dock included?
A. Both are there for your enjoyment but are not FREE to dock customers. Putter Port offers a season pass to dock members at a substantially reduced rate.
 
Q. What kind of security do you have? Is the marina gated?
A. We have recording security cameras in key locations thru-out the marina. We are not a gated marina and hope we never have to restrict the open access in and out of the marina. We also have the good fortune to be located in an area with a great record for little or no instances of crime. We have terrific cooperation with the local police who understand the value of the boating community to the cities revenue. We also have Romp's family members living onsite. In the winter we do put up a fence to restrict traffic in and out, and the entrances are monitored by camera.
 
Q. Do you also own the Danny Boy Farm Market or Dairy Queen in North Olmstead?
A. No, the Romp family in North Olmstead are cousins but not affiliated with the Marina whatsoever.
 
Q. What is your policy on dockholders whose boats are for sale?
A. All we ask is you do not place "for sale" signs on the boat. We provide a bulletin board in the main office to list your boats information. This protects your boat, and the boats of others from being boarded when you are not present. We are not involved in any part of the sale or have any other restrictions.
Q. How long is your season?
A. Our "in water" season is from April 1rst to November 1rst. Please note that dockside water may not be accessible during the colder parts of early April or mid-late October, depending on weather. Winter storage starts Oct 1 and continues until the friday before Memorial Day Weekend.
