Marinas in the Lake Charles, LA area?

[Coastlife247]

So I currently live in Delcambre on a 30' C&C. I have had a temporary job in new Iberia since April. Had an interview today for a promotion in Lake Charles.
Are there any marinas you would recommend that could house a 30' with a 5.5' draft and 10' berth?

Not a lot of options for long term with years of hurricane damage in the area. Bridge Point Yacht Center is about it and it is going down hill. The Casinos and Municipal harbor are nice, but transient only. Pleasure Island Marina in Port Arthur, TX is a few miles down the road, but as nice as you will find in the area for long-term. Bridge Point is a better hurricane hole, though. We sailed in there last spring and the area has a lot of potential for a good marina when the economy comes back.

Love L'Auberge Du Lac Casino. A little rolly at times, but nice docks and great facilities for transient.

I wrote a quickie cruising guide for Louisiana (for us but made it into a book for everyone) and found several marinas in that area.

Bridge Pointe
Nalmar Landing
Bord du Lac

I deleted my wiki site for it, but I can private message a link to another if you need to save money. https://www.createspace.com/4412544

Curious if you found something acceptable in Lake Charles. I'm in Shreveport and looking to buy a sailboat that might need work. Bringing to Shreveport is at best an expensive option. New Orleans is about a 5-hour drive. It dawned on me that Lake Charles might be the closest option for storing.
