Transients are placed on the end of one of the T docks here which makes for a easy approach and docking. Docks are floating and have good working pedestals. Very friendly staff will meet you at the dock and get you secured and briefed on the local eateries. Beautiful view of the bay and all of the passing boats. Be aware that the condos adjacent to the docks apparently don't want anyone walking in their grass so be so advised especially if you have a pet. Fuel is available nearby but not at this marina. Be mindful of shallow shoaling waters when entering from the gulf and check out current information from the corps if you have a deeper drafting vessel.

We stayed five nights here and plan on making many returns. We had a transient slip on the end of one of the T docks, and we were met on arrival. Craig is super on-the-ball, patient, and very knowledgeable about the area and surrounding waters. We had a great time. The water is gorgeous, daily pods of dolphins were sighted in the bay, and it's just a very chill atmosphere. Lots of people watching, solid internet, and quiet at nighttime. We totally loved it and hope to be back soon!

We spent one night on the end of the T dock. One of the electric outlets didn't pass our surge protector but the other one did. Boats were making wakes but it died down after dark. The free laundry is a bit of walk but worth it to not have to use our quarters. A lot of signs with rules here - only put clothes in washer, restrictions for trash in dock cans, can't use pool, etc.. Staff is friendly though.

Nice marina. Docked at the edge of the T docks. Walking distance to either of 2 tiki bars. Very Upscale area. No Fuel but were met on arrival...

Floating docks, electric was good, over nighted on the end of the T dock. No fuel so either choose another marina or reposition for fueling on your departure.
