I chose Two Georges for three reasons: (1) Low fuel price. (2) Some friends were already docked here. (3) Reviews of other marinas in Destin had me turned off about dealing with possible noisy crowds on New Years weekend. Two Georges is a well-maintained facility with a friendly staff. I stayed for a total of 3 nights, mostly to avoid anchoring out in bad weather on the first full day. Although I was on the outside of the end dock, my boat was secure with minimal rocking during the worst of the storm. The docks and pedestals are in good shape and fully functional. Garbage is removed regularly. There's a dock guy whose job seems to be walking around the docks, checking in on people and boats. The docks are not gated, but I felt secure. (The surrounding area is residential.) The restrooms were clean but they were not heated. There was only one shower stall in the Ladies Room with no changing area. (I wound up showering on my boat, which I prefer not to do.) There is ample area to walk or exercise dogs. Two Georges also has two Travelifts and a good sized dry dock area. There's a repair/maintenance staff on hand. I asked them to adjust my boat's packing nut; Ranger Tugs says it should drip once every 10 seconds and it was dripping a lot more than that, giving my bilge pump a real workout. The service guy completely stopped the dripping and when I told him it needed to drip, he did not agree. It took a call to Ranger Tugs support to convince him, but he did make the adjustment per my request. There's also a marina shop on the premises that sells many items boaters might want or need. I was able to buy 4 gallons of diesel oil for an oil change on my Volvo Penta D4; I don't know if they carry the oil filters (because I already had them) but they did not have the fuel filter. The marina is within walking distance of several good restaurants. I liked the Aegean Restaurant with homestyle Greek food. There's a Publix supermarket 1.5 miles away by foot or bike. There's no courtesy car or shuttle at the marina, but Uber is available; figure $8-12 to Publix and $12 to $16 to Walmart, including tip. Overall, I liked the marina and would recommend it to anyone who wants to be away from the hustle and bustle of more crowded marinas in Destin.

Thank you to this marina for allowing us to hang by fuel dock until windy conditions settled as we were passing through the bay!

We had planned to spend a night at Two Georges, partly based on their good fuel price. Before we arrived we developed a vibration on the starboard side. Called and spoke to Roy, the yard manager, who said they would take a look. Within 3 hours of our arrival we had a mechanic on board to look and come on a sea trial. They squeezed us into their busy yard schedule for two short hauls, tying us to the service dock wall in the interim, and came for two further sea trials. Communication throughout was first class, and the marina and yard staff were friendly and professional. Highly recommended; with praise and thanks to George, Roy, and all the staff.

They accommodated our need for a side tie by putting us on the backside of the fuel dock, but warned us ahead of time that is where we were going to go. Not a bad spot, we had power, water, and good WiFi there. It was a little far from the showers, but no worse than a lot of other large marinas. The women's and men's restrooms each had a single shower in them. Not fancy, but OK.
