Dec/Jan, 2023 We really enjoyed our stay at Seafood Shack MARINA. HARLEY, the dock master and operations manager is TOP NOTCH! GEORGE, restaurant manager, is helpful with local knowledge and a great guy. The marina is clean and safe. The bathroom and shower facilities are clean, but they need updating. We love the use of a code and not a key or fob; this makes it so much easier and user-friendly. Suggestion: install and washer/dryer for boaters The marina is close to Anna Maria Island shops, restaurants, beaches, and bike trails Thanks for a great long-term stay!
REVIEW DECEMBER, 2023 We really enjoyed our stay at Gulfport Municipal Marina. This is our 2nd stay at GMM. The staff was helpful. Thanks TEZ for all your help! GMM is located close to a great town with many shops, restaurants, pubs, and a beach. There are many events in town to enjoy. It is also very close to the Pinella’s Bike/Hike Trail, just a short bike ride to downtown St. Pete. Suggestions: Our first stay, we were lucky enough to stay on the floating dock which is within the marina’s gated area. This time we stayed at a long finger dock, which was gated, but the gate was at the end. We had to leave the fenced-in area every time we left the dock. Now this may not seem like an issue, however, we only had one fob. This means: -we always had to have the fob with us to go anywhere (bathroom, shower, laundry, office, etc.) -you needed the fob to get out! This was ridiculous. We both had to be together to let each other in/out of the dock or bathroom area. VERY frustrating. -the gates are on too tight of a spring, closing on your back if you are trying to get something off the dock. -when we left, we had to walk our fob back, then a staff member had to walk us back to open the gate for us to walk on our dock -we did not like the fact that we had to “leave” the marina to go to the bathroom, etc. The fence needs to be a couple feet further so ALL docks are within the gated area Now, all this does not mean we will not stay again. We really LIKE GMM! We plan to come again. It is a safe and clean marina. Unfortunately the best dock (the floating one which is close to office area and within fenced area) is used for bigger boats (ours is a 36) Hopefully these suggestions will be considered and modified in the future. Thank you GMM & TEZ! REVIEW from DECEMBER, 2022 We really enjoyed our stay at Gulfport Municipal Marina. The staff was very helpful. Thanks Tez! The WiFi was good, docks and all were very good. Bathrooms were very clean and private stalls! One of the best we've been to. It's located very close to a great town with many shops, restaurants, and pubs. One suggestion: washers had a flat rate, dryers were 25 cents/5 minutes (I think). Prefer a flat rate. LOL Would like to have extended our stay. Thank you GMM! ~ Horizon Bound
Hidden Gem! PIER 98 MARINA in Panama City is so welcoming. Owner Buck and staff Steve and Clay go above and beyond! There’s a Tiki Bar, Grab & Go breakfast and lunch sandwiches, Rodeo Steak Pit & Seafood restaurant is right near docks. Walmart, Winn—Dixie are near by. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Pier 98. They plan on expanding and renovating with completion in April.
Bull River Marina is a nice spot just 8 miles from the Savannah Historic District, about a 15 minute ride share. WILLIE, the Dock Manager is so personable & knowledgeable. He knew exactly what to do when our boat was docking against wind and current. He was WONDERFUL. CHRIS & JENNIFER are FABULOUS dockhands. They are ready, willing, and able to assist with your boat. SYDNEY, at the desk, is informative, cheerful, and kind. The bathroom suites, while older, are always clean. The showers are hot and have very good pressure. The town has so much to offer, as well, with history, museums, shops, restaurants and pubs. We highly recommend Bull River Marina as a great place to stay just outside of Savannah.
Jekyll Island Harbor Marina is a lovely spot to stay and relax. JAVON, CHRIS & EMMANUAL are FABULOUS dockhands. They are ready, willing, and able to assist with your boat and answer all questions. They are efficient, kind, and personable. VICKI, at the desk, is informative, cheerful, and always has a smile on her face. The town has so much to offer, as well, with shops, restaurants and beaches. We highly recommend JIH, a great place to stay.
THANK YOU WILL! Will was very polite, kind, and helpful. We appreciate your assistance. ~ Horizon Bound
WOW! This Marina has got it right! The staff is absolutely fantastic. They all go above and beyond. Thanks to Jeremy and Jacob. Jeremy is the best of the best. He knows this river. Extremely helpful with upcoming navigations. Jacob was very helpful at the docks. The Harbor Hosts Sam & Bryce were knowledgeable and always had a smile on their faces. Loved the pool and other facilities, as well. THANK YOU for a GREAT STAY!!
