Winterizing Docks To Begin Soon 
It seems like yesterday that we were turning the water “on”. Now, we are preparing to turn everything “off” and winterize the docks. October 31st each year is the official date that the water system is scheduled to be winterized. Due to the mild temperatures we are experiencing this week (November 2nd) – we plan to leave everything on through the weekend. However, don’t plan on having water or pump-out service much longer as the crew will probably winterize next week (November 9th). Please note that after October 31st, water and pumpout service may be shut down at any time without prior notice water and pumpout service is available during the mild weather months of April through October. Enjoy your winter and stop in for a visit if you are near the marina. We miss all our loyal customers during the winter and it is good to keep in touch. Let us know if you need anything.

Stay Warm!

Thank you for your business.
Tom Allen

P.S. I am sorry for not maintaining a routine blog but I will try to post regular entries during the winter to keep you thinking about your boat and about beautiful Dale Hollow Lake.

Safe Boating Day 

Saturday May 16, 2009 was the start of nationwide “Safe Boating Week”. Sunset Marina recognized “Safe Boating Week” by hosting a “Safe Boating Day” which was attended by various agencies such as The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, and Friends of Dale Hollow Lake. Boaters were able to collect information on “Safe and Clean” boating practices and TWRA gave away a free lifejacket to everyone who signed a pledge to wear one while boating. Children were fascinated with “Bobber” the USACE Water Safety Dog. Door prizes were given away and it was a fun day for all who attended.

Sunset Marina Certified: “Clean Marina” 
On Friday May 15, 2009, Sunset Marina on Dale Hollow Lake was certified as a “Clean Marina” by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Bernard R. Lindstrom.

Sunset Marina’s Restaurant Manager Confirmed 


Long time patrons of Sunset Restaurant are familiar with the “Chef in the Kitchen”, William “Zoom” Miller. This year, patrons will be seeing more of “Zoom” in the Dining Room as well. Sunset Marina General Manager Tom Allen confirms that Zoom has accepted the position of Restaurant Manager beginning immediately. Sunset’s Restaurant Management position became vacant in October of 2008 when Brian Mueller resigned after eight years of service to join the staff of Mustard Seed Ranch in Cookeville, Tennessee. Zoom is already on the job and is actively preparing for the upcoming season. Opening day for Sunset Restaurant is Friday April 3rd when the restaurant will begin serving patrons on weekends. The full weekly schedule will begin in Mid-May. For those who are thinking that Zoom’s talents are best utilized in the kitchen, never fear. Zoom’s presence and influence will primarily remain in the kitchen. However, as Sunset’s Restaurant Manager, Zoom will be bringing his wide range of talent to the overall dining experience and he will be much more accessible to the customers and will be responsible for all restaurant operations. Zoom is putting together a staff that will assist him in continuing the quality dining experience Sunset’s Customers have grown accustomed to. Make plans now to visit Sunset Restaurant on Dale Hollow Lake for a unique dining experience. Sunset Restaurant serves lunch and dinner and on the weekends, breakfast is also served. Join us for excellent meals, friendly service, a relaxed atmosphere, and breathtaking views of the evening “SUNSETS”.
