4-5-24 Like most marina's in this area, it's hard to get a slip, but if you are lucky enough get in, this is a great marina. The fixed docks are weathered, but the staff is always working on improvements. Roy and Charlie are always available for questions or help. Pump out at your slip weekly. The Dockside bar and grill has music every day, and the food is good and reasonably priced. Everyone is very friendly! A Publix is less than a mile away, and if you have transportation, Marathon has a lot to offer. We'll definitely be back.

Docks were in disrepair. Had a piling break in half with electric cord and fell in water. Electric went out several times. Long term neighbors were nice. Convenient to dinghy around Boot Key Harbor and to the beach. Music was loud depending on where you were.

Modifying my original review on 6/22/2021.
This marina has declined significantly . The docks are dire need of repair and we even had a finger pier give way and almost dumped us into the water.

This is a very well protected dock and one of the least expensive marinas in Marathon. This is not a resort; this is a dock. The docks are fixed, and you can expect a maximum of 2-foot tide most days. The staff is very helpful and pleasant, even going above and beyond to bring our packages to us at the boat. They also pump out your boat for you once a week at no cost. The docks are in good shape for the most part. This is a marina where all the slips are owned by individuals. They lease them out when they are not using them. There is a small liveaboard community here that stay year around. Some people just own the slips and do not have a boat in them, so they are available for lease all of the time. You have easy access to the Atlantic via the main entrance to boot harbor or a short-cut to go North in the Atlantic through Sisters Creek. There is a nice restaurant right in the middle of the marina that has live music almost every night. Ample parking right in front of your boat and a 9-hole golf course across the road. Publix and Winn Dixie are less than 1/2 a mile from the marina. The only thing that this marina lacks is a pool, but if that is not a deal breaker for you then this is the best marina for the price in Marathon.
