In coming tide made it almost impossible to get in the marina. We actually did not stay. Too worried about hitting our boat and other boats. The Owner/ Dockmaster was very nice and helpful, but he should have warned us about the tide when we inquired about staying there. If we had known, we could have timed our arrival differently. We just got a little diesel to get us to our next stop. It was outrageously high.

Very shallow in this area between R110 and G111. We were an hour before low tide which did not help.

Pretty skinny from R4 to just Past G9. Got better half way to R12. We were not even at dead low tide. We saw .08 at one point. Just take it slow.

Free power and water. Nice park. Did not use facilities. Space for 8-10 boats. Only issue was before the double bridges, between the markers we hit bottom. Buddy boat moved over a bit and was good. Just take it slow thru there.

We were on the face dock, which does get waked. But things slow down at dark. Water pressure was quite low. The bar had music till 1am, luckily we were at the end and did not hear it. Another boater told us. Lots of restaurants in the area. Did not go to town or use any facilities. It was fine for one night.

We came in at a very low tide, stirred up some mud but was fine. The staff is all volunteer, but super helpful. Ron was very good at communicating thru email and text. Sent us a map of our slips which was very helpful. We had access to the pool ( too cold for us), grills, bathhouses (did not use). There was a concert for locals, but we hardly heard it, so did not bother us. They have a new portable pump out we heard is quick, but also did not use. Only negative is some slips don't have finger piers so you have to go off the back of your boat. But they are slowly adding more finger piers to accommodate loopers. The breakwater was great. We had very little movement, unlike the marina just prior to here.

Lovely ride up the river. Dock master was great! Very new floating docks. Power, water and pump out available, we did not need. Good sized town, lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance.

Great location and staff. Floating docks, did not use laundry or bath house. Tight fairways. Rolly on face dock until sun goes down. Duck Decoy Museum is nice walk up the Boardwalk.

Protected harbor, with several other marinas and huge mooring field. This is mainly a sales and working yard. But they do have a few transient slips. Don't open until 10, we got there a little early and tied ourselves up. Tight getting in, but decent slips, with water and power. Office staff very friendly. Did not use bathrooms, so can't comment. Several restaurants within walking distance and Frank &Sal's Market is a half mile walk. Great for our one night after a horrible night at Sandy Hook.

Looks like pretty new floating docks. Very nice pool and showers. Restaurant next door but did not try it. Dock master very nice and helpful. Stayed on T-head, yet protected. A ferry runs every 45 minutes, get a little current when it swings around, but not bad or long lasting. Further from town but we were only staying one night and had been before. Not comfortable with nearby anchorages. Plus the price was right at 2$ a foot. Wi-Fi was good as well.

We could not stay here, because they were booked. But we did fuel up and got a pump out. Very good fuel price. Discount for over 300 gallons. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Took all credit cards and did not charge service fee.

HarborWalk was booked so stayed here. Docks need some tlc. Mainly offshore fishing boats. We were on the t head. Pretty rough current, but had a nice night. Took local taxi to town. Lots of cute restaurants. Noseeums and gnats were pretty bad around the marshy area waiting for taxi.

Colin the Dockmaster sent a Nebo Alert. Lucky for us he did. We had planned on staying at Fernandina Marina but it was full due to Shrimp Festival. St. Mary's has brand new floating concrete docks. Power, water and pump out all included plus a 10% discount to AGLCA, MTOA and Boat US members. Colin was very accommodating. The town is quite cute. We missed the Sub Museum. But ate at Locals Restaurant and it was very good.
The reason for 4 stars is we were on the outside dock and it was pretty Rocky rolly until the evening when boat traffic died down.

Came in at low tide, did see 2 ft. but stayed north and did fine. Went all the way to the end. Saw a sheriff, asked if it was ok. He said he could not say yes or no, just don't block the ramps. We got here just before 5, since both sides closed at 5, no issue. A sailing cat came in after us. A bit close but, there was room.
