We cannot say enough good things about Frank, the dockmaster. He was awesome. Laundry & bathrooms were older, but functional and cleaned every day. Secured entry & nighttime security. Access to downtown restaurants, shopping & the Pier could not be easier. St. Pete is very walkable & has dedicated bike lanes. Publix, CVS & a liquor store are a 10 minute walk from the marina. Great stop for the money!

This is a great stop after crossing Lake Okeechobee. The price is right at $1/ft +$7.50 50 amp single. The older dock is narrow, but electric, water & wifi were good. Gated for added security. One older bath/shower for everyone. Bob, the owner, is there to help with lines if needed. Great stop for a night or two. Also wonderful bike ride along the Caloosahatchee.

This marina is a hidden gem! If you are looking for a quiet, quaint, friendly old Floridian vibe, this is it. The wifi & electric is good. Baths and laundry are old, but my understanding is they will be renovated in the near future. Docks are older but in good shape, and very convenient in slip pump out. Easy, short walk to a very eclectic downtown with humor in Eau Gallie's history boards throughout town. Great stop to add to the cruiser's destination list!

One of our favorite places to stop! The docks, bathrooms and laundry are excellent. The staff and other boaters are very friendly, and you are a short walk away to a beautiful historic downtown!

One of our favorite stops! The dockhands are very knowledgeable and helpful, docks are in excellent condition, and they have a mobile pumpout. Great location to shops & restaurants, and laundry is great & on the honor system. We highly recommend this marina!

This is a great stop on the ICW. The docks are wonderful, in slip pump out, great bathrooms and laundry. Rural setting, but restaurant on site, and 2.5 mile bike ride to grocery store, banks and pharmacies. Gated marina in a residential area. The dockhands were awesome!

Wonderful stop with great docks, clean bathrooms and very knowledgeable and courteous dockhands. Easy short walk to historic downtown Beaufort, and easy access back to the ICW.

Waterside Marina is a wonderful stop. The docks, power & water are great, and it is right in the downtown area. An easy walk or bike ride to Harris Teeter 1.5 miles away through the historic Ghent area. Dockmaster James and staff are truly great. Very knowledgeable on helping with lines during docking, and were checking on us when the remnants of Ian blew through. We started out with 2 nights, but ended up with 11. We would highly recommend this Marina and wonderful staff!!

This is a beautiful hidden gem on the Chesapeake. We would recommend the marina as a stop over. Dockmaster Craig was a great help with our lines, getting us settled and providing information on the walkable town. The docks are new and in great shape, electric was excellent and three separate baths with their own entry code-very new and clean. The town has alot of history and several great little shops and restaurants. We rode our bikes on beautiful country roads 2.5 miles to a Super Walmart to fill a prescription. This was one of our favorite stops this year from the Bahamas up to Boston!

This marina is SO worth the 15 miles up the Rappahannock River! Wonderful newer docks, excellent electric, very clean bathrooms. Andy and Amy are so friendly & helpful. Great restaurant on site & nifty little town with shops, post office, grocery & liquor stores all within 10 minute walk. If you want a serene, friendly rural stop in your cruising itinerary, Urbanna is it!! We will return someday...

This marina is upriver from the other marinas, tucked into a beautiful, peaceful cove, away from wakes. Baths and laundry facilities are very good, and the ships store is great! Very cute, quiet park setting, and easy bike ride to restaurants, hardware, grocery, pharmacy and liquor stores. The staff is very helpful and friendly.....a wonderful stop. We enjoyed it in the summer and returned on our way back south from Boston!

We LOVED this marina! Great docks, power, baths and laundry facilities, all in a gorgeous resort setting. On site restaurant was also great, and complimentary shuttle into nearby town for provisions. We would highly recommend making this a stop over in a wonderful rural area!

This marina was an awesome place to stop for several days. Even though it is large, it was laid out well. Beautiful pool area, gated, large and clean bathrooms & showers. Restaurants within a very short walking distance, and the biking/walking trail nearby is incredible-it takes you for several miles through the woods and over the marshes on wonderfully wide and well maintained boardwalks. Power, water & docks all in great shape. We would highly recommend this marina to other boaters...definitely a great stop!

We stayed here for several nights on our way to Boston in July, and decided to return on our trip back to the Chesapeake. The marina is right next to the very cute and quaint downtown. This is a hidden gem at the end of the channel, so no wakes. The docks are in great shape, the area has beautiful landscaping, showers are close by and very clean. Dock hands are very friendly and helpful. This marina is now one of our favorites, from Sarasota, FL to Boston, MA.
