We had an excellent stay and experience at Safe Harbor Harborage Marina. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. * Floating docks! You really appreciate this after spending time tied up to fixed docks. *Harbor area very well protected by breakwater so water in the dock area is calm. *Fairly close to amenities however next time we will be bringing bikes. *St Pete is worth visiting We will be returning!
First time boating to St Pete Marina and staying at the transient dock. The good: St Pete is a great town to visit Dock hands very helpful and accommodating Facilities very nice The not so good: The transient dock is fixed (not floating) and one side tie up. This means you need to leave enough slack for tides. This means you will be swaying and banging the dock all night. This means little sleep depending on your ability to sleep through that distraction. Our boat is 28ft but the neighbors was a new 40ft and had the same issue. Conditions were fairly calm when we were there. Will go back but try a different tie up method.
