Nice marina. Beautiful floating docks. Excellent boater lounge and facilities. Very friendly and helpful staff. Update March 2024-Stayed with Old Port Cove again. Same great facilities and staff! Thanks again!

Expensive for what you get. No bathroom facilities. Rocky location due to wakes. Old docks with no gate. HOWEVER Eddy the dockmaster gave us an excellent welcome. If you want to go to downtown Miami restaurants, it's easy access. Good in a pinch, but we will probably look farther afield next time.

Update! Feb, 2024- Always a great experience. The staff is very accommodating. We love the area, lots of great little shops and restaurants within walking distance of the marina. It looks skinny getting in (we have a 4 ft draft) but if you follow the markers and channel, it's fine even at low tide. One of our favorite hidden gems! Nice marina. A bit off the ICW path but great fuel prices and nice and protected. The staff is very friendly and there are some great restaurants just a short walk away. We'll be back! We came back and our stay was as good as the first time! Great staff and downtown Gulfport is excellent!

Nice stop. The staff was very nice. Great location with easy access to the beach and downtown. The Jolly Trolley to Dunedin and Tarpon Springs stops right off the docks and is a quick and economical way to get around. It's a bit bouncy from boat traffic, but otherwise, it's not bad. We would stop again.

Great stay! The service was great, our slip down on the main docks was excellent and very sheltered. Good services overall. All of the staff was friendly especially the Fuel Dock attendant. Thanks for the use of the courtesy van, we had a great time! Update: 11/2023 - We are on our second Loop and enjoyed another great stay at Aqua Yacht. The team here is excellent, good facilities, and the community feel is wonderful. A special thanks to Charlie & Robin Mcvey the harbor hosts here at Aqua Yacht!

We loved Green Turtle Bay! First I must compliment the service department. We needed to have a prop straightened due to a log hit on the Mississippi. We called ahead and they put us on the schedule. When we arrived, we were pulled quickly, they put us back in the water so that we could stay on our boat, loaned us a van to take the props to the prop shop, and when we got them back next day, put them back on. The price was very reasonable. Great communication from Gayla and David. The facility, even in the off season was great. We enjoyed the two restaurants and took advantage of the Spa facilities for haircuts. The shower rooms were clean and convenient to the docks. We will definately be back! Update: November 2023 - Another great stop at Green Turtle Bay. Again, cudos to the service department for great service. Stellar facility, love the shuttle to town. The only disappointment is that the Tippsy Turtle was closed during the peak of Looper Season.

Great stop! Thanks for the awesome cinnamon rolls! As long as you take it easy going in and follow the well-marked channel, it's easy in and out.

Good in general. Good location to access the downtown. We were disappointed at the lack of cleaning in the restrooms. It is the end of the season, still, if we are paying full price, the restrooms should be serviced.

Excellent stay. The marina was easy to access and well-protected. Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Close to town and restaurants. It's definitely a recommended stop.

Marina Response:
Thank you for taking the time to review our Marina. We are happy to hear that you found our facilities clean and our staff was friendly and helpful during your stay, We are beyond fortunate to have the proximity to town and all the fabulous restaurants and shops within walking distance, glad you were able to get out and enjoy it! Please do come again!

Overall a 5 star marina. Great docks and facilities. Showers and bathrooms are exceptional and very clean. The only reason for a 4 is that this has to be the biggest marina we've stayed at on the loop, and we've had some buggy ones! There is a warm front that came through here in Wisconsin, so perhaps that's the reason. Clouds and clouds of small gnats. Still, we would stay again and recommend it. Much friendlier than Skipper Bob's Marinas who were "put out" that we wanted to stay with them.

Marina Response:
Thanks for visiting. The gnats and bees have really come out in full force the last few weeks. We've been spraying Home Defense and other products, but they keep coming. We plan to increase our efforts on the insect population next season. Hope to see you again.

Our second stay I. Leland. As good as the first time! Harbor is a bit rockie with a south wind. A gentle le rock to sleep. Great town. Try the Riverside House Restaurant for a great meal!

Great little harbor town! This is one of the highlights of our Great Loop trip. Lots to see and do. Even if you come with your own boat, we suggest taking one of the glass bottom boat tours of the shipwrecks. The docking fee was very reasonable. They have an excellent price on fuel (The lowest we've seen in Canada). The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities are not elegant but are clean and functional. Thanks to Carla the Harbormaster for a well-run marina!

Always a great stay at Belhaven. Gregg does an awesome job of making everyone welcome! Clean, well-appointed facilities, protected dock. Spoon River restaurant is a must visit on this stop!

Overall pretty good. The only issue is that the bathrooms and laundry are a couple of blocks from the marina, especially when you stay on the "A" dock. Other than that, a good stay!

Great Marina! The grounds were excellent, and the number of repair trades on site was amazing! Fortunately, we didn't need them, but we did visit the descent-sized West Marina on the premises. The staff was great and worked with us to get in, I think that this is one of the first marinas that we went on a wait list and actually got a callback! We highly recommend a visit!

Great second visit! Easy in, and far enough down the channel to get rid of waves from the bay. Great staff! Came out in the rain to help us tie up. Love the Bull Island Brewery right behind the dock! Clean restrooms and showers. We were the only boat there for the night. We did have a "transient" checking out the boat about midnight, but a quick flash from a flashlight, and they took off. No issues otherwise.

Nice overnight accommodation on the front transient dock. Aside from a LONG walk around to the office to check-in, everything was fine. The slip map on their website does not match the numbers on the power poles, so we were confused and they don't monitor Channel 16 so we were on our own. We went into the slip with the assigned number on the power pole as the other looked too narrow for us. As we were backing in, we had to wait for some manatees to clear out of the slip! They were huge! Very friendly staff at the marina office, and the restaurant was very good as well! We will stay here on our way back for sure, and will make it a regular stop when on the St. Johns River!

Thank you for your feedback! We hope to see you again soon!

Nice easy stop along the Okeechobee waterway. Good if you are just finishing a crossing or are staging for the next day. New docks, new power, new internet. Call them on the PHONE when you are near as they are not on site. Very friendly and helpful. Second stay here, and we got to use the brand new dock! Excellent, 7-10 feet of depth dockside, just around the corner from the lock. Brand new power pedestals and wi-fi system. Highly recommended!

Nice marina. The docks are beautiful and well designed. If you are on the inside there is almost no wave action. The bathrooms and showers are a bit of a hike, but clean and well maintained. The only downside was the incredible volume of bird poop on the boat! We had some pretty good wave action out on the bay, at least 2 ft waves, but the docks stopped almost all of the wave action. Very calm in the marina!

Great Marina! It is convenient to downtown, nice floating docks, friendly and helpful staff. Clean restrooms and showers. Amazon Locker Pickup Location right at the dock! We'll visit again.

Always a great stay. Super dock staff. Very friendly and helpful. If you arrive during low tide, watch the far end of the docks when you turn the corner as there is a bit of shoaling, once in the back fairway, there was plenty of water. One of our MUST stops!

Very nice marina. Beautiful fixed docks. Staff is very helpful and friendly. A little bumpy in the outer basin with a north wind and lots of seagrass. Ask for the inner basin if you can. Lots of great eateries within walking distance, Home Depot and Publix less than 1 mile. Also a great longer term spot! Lots of loopers there.

Nice marina, excellent dock staff! Easy access to town and a great on-site restaurant. The current bathrooms and showers are not the best, but clean and good hot water. The new ones under construction look amazing! We'll have to stop back and check them out.
