Tampa Convention Center Marina

The staff at the Tampa Convention Center Marina is always very helpful and professional. We will keep coming back again and again. Rob

Great location, in the heart of everything!

DockMaster Sam at Tampa Convention Center is incredible. He was immediately able to accommodate us when we could not get to our intended docking space because of fixed bridge. And he graciously accommodated us and was amazingly helpful the next day for a second surprise night when our cruise to St . Pete aborted 15 minutes from shore due to radiator problem. TCC is in a great entertainment district along the Tampa Riverwalk. Highly recommended

My stay was very pleasant and I will definitely will return soon.

Recommended stay. Recommended stay. Great downtown Tampa spot—super convenient with floating docks, so tide swings aren’t an issue. We were able to extend without any hassle due to a quiet weekend. Only hiccup was the power pedestal: the male end couldn’t be secured (no threads to screw it in), so we had to go full MacGyver with some hurricane/duct tape; next time I'll bring a longer cord. (30ft min)

Great Location !

Excellent location! Garrett and Sam are absolutely amazing! This is one of our favorite spots to come over to! See ya soon!

very helpful at the dock

Dockmaster was great, super helpful. Facility is 👍

Easy entry and exit into the marina which is right in the heart of Tampa. Sam is great! Very helpful. We will be back.

Great spot easy access to downtown, dock master was helpful!

Dockmaster Sam is awesome. There is a lot of night time light pollution on the north dock..All in all a nice stay.

Location, floating docks

Great location and affordable (compared to others in the downtown area)l we were on the north docks and the only downside was the excessive lighting from the convention center.The dockmaster was gratious and happy to assist. We’ll be back soon.

One of my favorite marinas in Florida. Great location and easy to get in and out. Only two drawbacks. First no real transient facilities for only marina guest. Second one dock is shared with public businesses leaving the marina guest unprotected. Anyone can wonder down the marina by the boats which poses a security risk. Alternate dock's gate is not secure.

Contrary to the Dockwa description and instructions, the North docks are not secure. No locks on the fence gate and the marina backs up the Tampa Convention Center which is a very public area. The TCC needs to fix this! On the 2nd morning when I arrived at the docks, the gate was propped open. Also, the docks seem to not get much use and they have become a bird infested floating dock. Docks need to be pressure washed daily to clean up the bird mess according to the dock master

Easy in and easy out. No lock on marina gate, not good. Location-excellent. Floating docks. No showers, one public bathroom, hardly ideal. Dockmaster helped our docking-excellent, but not on the property. Call if needed. alan

Fantastic location! We will definitely be back.

Sam was excellent and very responsive.

Excellent location. Floating docks. Good power and water. TCCC puts you a 10 minute walk from an endless array of shops, restaurants and attractions. The free trolley will take you to Ybor and stops in between. Dog friendly. Great for people watching and lounging.

lovely marina, lovely location. look forward to the gates having the locks reinstalled.

Great docks in a great location. Security was lacking but I understand that’s being resolved soon

We love staying right here off the Riverwalk. my only feedback would be we would really like to have a lock on the gate that leads down to the docks. This may be something that you guys plan to do because we know the gate just got put on the day before we arrived.

Great location. Friendly staff. Only negative ( minor ) no WiFi.

Sam the dockmaster was very helpful. Enjoyed our stay only complaints no Wi-Fi

Great location and friendly staff. Easy walking distance to many restaurants and the Amalie Arena

Dockmaster (Sam) is excellent: knowledgeable and good with lines, he assisted as we tied to leeward side of dock without incident. This visit, he managed the same expertise with an injured foot in a boot

We love this Marina!

We'd been anchored nearby until we'd run out of water and our batteries were low. The Tampa Convention Center Marina wouldn't let tie and get water for free, and there was no other marina open that we could get to easily, so we paid for a night's tie up. It was Super Bowl night so the waterfront was lively in the evening, but there seemed to be a curfew--anyway, the noise didn't go on late. No sign of the locked gate to the slips that we were told about. The dockmaster was polite on the phone and seemed eager to be helpful. It was nice being right on the River Walk.

Great location. Lots of help coming in and getting tied up. Floating docks in excellent condition

Dock master was extremely helpful!

Dockmaster crew is awesome—location to restaurants is exceptional

The dock hands that came to assist were very friendly and helpful. The problem was that I had reserved the dock for two nights. On the second night when I returned there was another boat in my slip. They said that the dock master, Sam , had told them to stay in my slip. Sam was not available by phone as it was late. We had to tie up on the end with no power.

Great communication with Sam the dock master. Wonderful overnight experience at TCC.

Great place to stay. Sam, the new dockmaster is wonderfully helpful. So many things nearby to do.

The docks are great, Sam (dockmaster) is terrific, great location, facilities are great. We always love staying at the TCC marina.

Great location, dock is very nice, Dockmaster is great and attentive.

Great location to walk, trolley and see downtown Tampa and Ybor City. Walk to Amalie Arena and the Straz. Marina staff excellent!

Very nice and friendly and helpful. Always very accommodating.

Excellent. Sam is a very good dockmaster.

Our stay was fantastic with lots of fun and entertainment. Really enjoyed the bicycle they provided.

Mike the dockmaster gave clear instructions to the slip and got us tied up easily. Lots to do in the area within walking distance. Amalie Arena, Florida Aquarium, Tampa Riverwalk, Tampa Bay History Center, and more. There are two Publix grocery stores about 1/2 mile away in opposite directions. Boaters' bathroom was clean, but the door did not lock (likely will fix this). No showers or pump out at this marina. Transient stay for 10 days at a time.

Easy in and out. Great to be right on the Riverwalk. Very courteous Dock Master.

Good hoping for Gasparilla

Nice marina close to a variety of activities. Nice floating docks easy access. Awesome dock attendant staff!!!!

Great facility in a wonderful location in the middle of town. We look forward to coming back soon.

Great location, amenities and price! As others have said, Michael is a rock star, extremely helpful with reservations, docking and getting settled. Will definitely be back!

Mike the dock master is excellent

Loved the location - Sam was GREAT! We would definitely stay again.

Second time here. Great location, super nice marina and the DockMaster Michael is one of the friendliest, most helpful we have ever met. We love coming here.

Great facility in the center of most everything in Tampa.The Mike’s were very good dockmasters, and just had a really great stay.

Michael, the Dockmaster was fantastic!! The facility was great and central to everything. I’ll be back.

Great customer service!

Great time! Dockmaster was terrific

Nice floating docks. Great location. Fantastic dockmaster Mike!

Was a great time Michael Dock Master was on point. He was always paying attention as your approach ready to catch your lines and assist you with anything you needed securing your boat to the dock. I plan to use this service at least once a month throughout the summer.

Wonderful weekend. Great dock staff.

Great easy in and easy out. Mike, your dock master, was fantastic and a great hand as I was coming in solo on a 30' vessel and had a direct line to him whenever i needed anything. Kudos to him, he was a rockstar. Thank you again...ill 100% be back to dock in at TCC.

great. Right in the center of it. Nice floating docks. Michael the dockmaster was great. Clean restroom.

Great Marina worth the stop. It has an amazing and convenient location. Michael (the Dock-master) lovse his job and it shows in his helpfulness. Only ding is limited facilities, there is a clean restroom, electricity and water. No shower facilities, fuel, basic ships store or pump out available. This is well documented, and having those amenities would make this marina top class. Still a awesome marina.

Nice stay! Great location, nice conctrete floating docks. Michael the dockmaster was so friendly, capable, helpful! Dock area kept clean, all good!

Mike helped make our stay the best it could be.

Had a very nice stay and the dock master Michael was awesome. It would be nice if the docks had dedicated bathrooms and showers for marina folks only. Sharing the bathroom with a bar, not so great. In the am they are cleaning them for over an hour, so one is out of luck if you need one.

Fun marina. Dock master Micheal was a great help.

Dockmaster was great, location was great, Docks in great condition. Just an overall great stay.

Convenient, dock master very helpful. Two night stay was not enough so I stayed four nights.

Always very helpful! All went well, thank you very much. Michael and all your other folks on the dock are always very courteous and respectful. Thank you for taking care of us.

Michael was awesome as usual. Professional assistance and great attitude. Easy in, easy out and the Bolts won!

CJ was very helpful.

Dock master was very friendly and helpful. Communication of security codes and slip assignment was top notch. Did I mention security. No more people walking past your boat in the middle of the night. Close to free trolley and many restaurants and bars. Only drawback is no shower or private bathroom facilities.

Michael was very nice. Michael…I owe you a double tip next time we come to Tampa. Sorry we missed you this morning. Jim “FamBam”

Dockmaster was very helpful. Very convenient to meetings at the Convention Center and downtown Tampa.

Michael the dock master is fantastic. Thank you TCC!

Had a wonderful time at the convention center marina. Michael is a great dockmaster and a great host. You can't beat the location and the price. Highly recommend.

Great location with much to do in surrounding areas. Dockmaster and resources all very helpful and polite.

Would be nice to have bathroom access closer to the North docks.

Great marina. Great location.

We love it here. Dockmaster Michael is the best!

Limited resources but Michael the manager of the marina made up for limited resources. We enjoyed our stay. The Marina is located right near everything particularly if you want to see a hockey game.

The facilities and surrounding activities are wonderful. Mike, the Dockmaster, was also extremely helpful and easy to work with. He added a lot to the stay!

Awesome stay! Michael (The Harbormaster) was fantastic! Super friendly and super helpful! Definitely recommend! We look forward to visiting again!

Might want to put one or 2 100 am outlets on some of the pedestals on north dock. Specifically slip 2. As I recall there is room for it. Breaker tripped numerous times so had to move to pedestal across the dock.

Right in the thick of things for downtown events/options. Easy in/out. Dockmaster Mike was helpful and readily available. Power and water were well-maintained. Floating docks had appropriate edge fenders. Great place to stay to enjoy what downtown Tampa has to offer (Go Bolts!)

Great place to stay!

Great docks, Phenomenal location, and Michael, the Dockmaster, is incredible. My only hesitation recommending the Tampa Convention Center Marina is concern that too many people to discover it! It is a real gem.

Everything worked out great. Mike is the best!

Michael is excellent

Mike the dock master was fantastic.

Great location and helpful staff. Michael was extremely attentive.

Michael, the dockmaster, was great. Very friendly and helpful.

Best dock master around! We had a wonderful stay.

The marina is fantastic and the location is great! The staff were incredibly helpful the whole time. Definitely a recommended spot. Only small downside is that they don’t have high speed WiFi at the marina. A few local spots offer it nearby though.

Dockmaster Michael is great. Downtown for a hockey game and the atmosphere and the location of the marina is exceptional.

Very friendly yet professional dock master. New docks. Easy to get in easy to get out.

Michael the Dockmaster provided excellent service!

Mike was the best. Helpful and knowledgeable

Dock master Michael was awesome.

Great marina. Right in the City of Tampa. But most importantly super helpful dock master. Michael went way beyond his duties to help us and stayed late just to make sure we could get in safely. Thank you!

Michael is the best!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Easy access and floating docks are great. Convenient to venues, restaurants and entertainment.

Great experience. Dockmaster was very helpful and available!

5⭐️ I don’t feel that what I say has to be a certain length. I believe my original 5⭐️ should be long enough for your review

Fantastic staff, excellent location!

Mike was great! Really enjoyed our stay

The service from Michael, the Dockmaster, was amazing- they have done a great job in creating a more "marina" like experience. Location is perfect -walkable to all attractions and great restaurants.

Great as always, guys were waiting to help as we pulled up to the docks. They kept an eye on the boat when we went down the street for drinks. They made sure to keep nosey people away. The security gate being added is a plus for over night stay.

Although it didn’t matter too much to us, the security gate was wide open all night and was chained open. Other than that the staff was very helpful and the facility was very nice.

Dock hands were great. Love the amenities and visit

Love this location and Marina staff was excellent!!

Nice facility with floating docks, capable, friendly and helpful staff. Great location in the heart of Tampa. We'll be back.

It was great! The attendants were very helpful and polite. I will park there again in the future.

Outstanding location. Great service on arrival. Like the fact it is not a huge marina and lots to do walking distance away. Thank you for your hospitality

Very nice and a ton of things to do.

Great location! Right in the heart of the Riverwalk. Helpful and friendly staff!

Great location, close to many restaurants and bars

Facilities are good; staff is good. Left boat at 9pm and returned at 9am to find an expensive hat and pair of Rx sunglasses stolen from under the windscreen.

Nice visit to Tampa - friendly staff!

Great spot downtown Tampa!

great location 12345

Very convenient and staff was extremely helpful on dock.

Great location with new floating docks. No showers but great electric and water.

Dock hands where very good and thoughtful. Process was easy and location was great! Clean secure docks as well.

A lot to do great restaurants. Clean Marinas. Helpful attendants

Facilities were very nice. Convenient to trolley and downtown. Pump out facilities would make it perfect place.

Two great nights then the third a big power boat came in and partied ALL night! Loud music and screaming. No sleep and no security that night.

Nice staff and close to restaurants but no grocery near, and not a place we liked much Tampa

Reservation and payment went very smoothly. Dockmaster allowed someone to pull into the wrong slip causing one of our group, who called to say he would be late, to end up 3 slips away. The boater even knew he was in the wrong slip. I was there earlier this year when the new gate was installed. I am amazed there is no lock or security there. The lack of a shower is another minus.

Right in the heart of downtown but very quiet at night. No rocking no noise. 🤗🤗 Super convenient, power. water and recycling bin on the dock!! Highly recommend.

Had a great time being there for the Lightning vs Hurricanes game. Let’s go Canes!!!

Love this marina. Great stay awesome location.

Great time for downtown events!,

Absolutely amazing stay. Right downtown. Awesome. Staff were so wonderful to meet us to catch us at the dock and send us off. Would be great if there was a place to buy ice though.

I love this marina. The location is the main draw- downtown & the waterfront of Tampa are within easy walking distance. Lots of activity on the weekend. I can't quite give it 5 stars due to its lack of a dedicate shower and restroom for marina guests. The nearby "Sail" restaurant has a restroom, but it's locked at night. Otherwise, it is great.

Docks are modern and excellent condition, staff is friendly and helpful. Location is central and convenient to many entertainment venues and downtown Tampa. Docks have no security, no WiFi, no shower, and no dedicated restrooms. The price is not reflective of services available.

Always a pleasure. Above and beyond. the crew did a great job!

Nice location and helpful dock masters on site. Only wish you had abilityy to buy ice.

Everything was perfect.

Dock hands always helpful and friendly

Friendly staff, but do not use VHF radio! Right downtown, so Uber and public transportation is easy. Casino, restaurants, are a short walk. Security seems pretty tight here also. I have stayed 4 times, and I have booked a return trip. This is my "go to" marina for Tampa, Fl. Limited services- no pump out or fuel, but mechanics can come and go. Land parking is limited until the parking garage 2 blocks north

Great location in the center of Tampa. You can walk ot bike on the river walk or right across the street is the free tram to Ybor. Marina has nice docks. They are low so bring a step to get up to your high freeboard boat. There are no showers. Public has full access to docks and will come up to your boat to look. Great bars and restaurants within a block.

This is a terrific location in the bustling waterfront heart of Tampa. The access is easy, the floating docks are well maintained and the staff are competent, responsive and friendly. However, there are no dockside facilities. The sole marina “bathroom” is a locked restroom at a nearby restaurant to which everyone seems to have the code. And there is NO shower. Surely there is a better solution. But all in all a very fun visit.

The docks are in a great location for access to downtown Tampa. The docks are floating and have power and water. The main negatives are no showers and no security gate. There is access to public bathrooms within a short walk.

Moment of Zen, a 36 by 15 foot power cat, had a first-rate stay at the Tampa Convention Center Marina in mid-March 2022. The approach and docking were easy, with friendly dockhands on hand to help. The location is perfect for a visit to Amalie, the aquarium and any number of other spots, including Riverwalk. Ybor City is a delightful free tram-ride away. There is even a Publix an easy walk away. Because this marina is meant for fairly short-term visits to downtown venues, there is neither internet nor the usual marina facilities like bathrooms, showers and laundry. The staff was unfailingly friendly and helpful with suggestions for visitor parking etc. Will definitely be back!

friendly and helpful staff, great slip, awesome location!

Great time at SEC conference. Awesome location, nice docks and close to everything. We will be back.

Excellent location. Walking, biking distance to most sites or trolley ride. Helpful friendly dock hands. Nice floating docks. We will return.

Had a great 3 night stay at TCC Marina. Staff is very helpful, and location is excellent. Only downside is is the number of people that come down to “walk the docks”.

You can't bear this location. No frills or amenities, not you're right down town. Electric and water worked well. Dock hands were there when we arrived.

Super friendly and helpful staff! Easy in/out, and great location food and entertainment whether you are on foot or bike. The only minor drawback for smaller boats is the fact that they do not offer showers. But the city fuel dock across the bay does. And if you are a smooth talker you might just talk the Marriott staff out of a fitness center pass for a day (or maybe just buyout) and use their shower. Great experience in a beautiful city!

it was a great time, everyone was great help. Dock masters always so nice. Helpful

Great spot. Recommend highly

Lots happening in downtown Tampa and this marina is right in the heart of it.

The dock staff here were amazing. Very friendly and helpful. One big downside was the power pedestals. 3 out of 4 50 Amp pedestals that we tried didn't work. There are no 100 Amp outlets here so we needed to use our own splitter, but it was impossible to find a pedestal with two working 50 Amp outlets. Larger boats beware. Thanks to the great efforts of Amanda, the dockmaster, the problem was finally resolved. Also, lack of showers is a negative.

Great location and fabulous dockhands.

Great place to go! Nice floating docks, great team and tons to do!

The dockhands were very efficient. We decided to stay on our boat for our 2 night stay. We were in town for a Marine Max boat trip. The proximity to Amalie was awesome. We were walking distance to many things as well. The restrooms nearby were clean and tidy. However, we did not feel safe at night. There was no locked gates to enter the dock slips. This was concerning. I would NOT stay at the convention center marina again for this reason. Please take this review seriously. Thank you

The dock hands were very helpfuly when we were docking. The location is great with a free trolley from the convention center to Ybor City.

Very helpful and friendly crew on the docks. Docks are clean and safe.

Dock hands were wonderful!! Kind, knowledgeable and competent! We will be back!

The Marina has a great staff.

Great place to dock!!

Fantastic! We had such a nice overnight stay. Great communication from the marina, super helpful dockhand and perfect location. Can’t wait to stay again.

Great experience. Jason and the team were very accommodating. Will definitely book again.

This was a great spot to hide from hurricane Elsa. The docks are great and the location is awesome. The dock master was waiting for us to grab lines and help tie up. The only negative is this set of docks has no power or water hook ups.

Great location. The staff is very friendly and always looking to help.

Good stay. Unfortunate that WiFi was not working.

Always an awesome stay in downtown Tampa thanks to all of the people down on the docks helping with everything. Jake, Andrew and all of the team working for the various crews downtown are awesome!!!

Awesome experience Awesome experience Awesome experience Awesome experience

The local team there is awesome. So helpful and attentive and keeps an eye on the boats. Really appreciate the staff this past weekend.

Easy last minute reservation right in downtown Tampa. Every time I called, they called me back in minutes.

Loved the marina and Jason was a great help.

great staycation Marina staff the best

In all the years of cruising I have never experienced such a poorly operated Marina. My experience began with a small tour boat, that operated out of the Marina cutting me off while I was beginning my approach to the slip that was assigned and “reserved” for me. It should be noted that there were many additional dock slips empty and available for other Marina boats, none in this area were assigned to the group of various types of aquatic rental equipment at the other end of the dock. Although we tried to get the boat operator’s attention she ignored us, tied the boat and proceeded to unload her passengers. Only when she was done did she acknowledge us and finally move. From there, it only got better. Our slip was next to a 44 ft million $ yacht with what appeared to be a couple of people here to give a seminar or such at somewhere near the Marina. Later in the day they came back with about 20 young, clean cut, well dressed people for a tour of the boat. They left and all came back later, that evening, for a party. They played music (much rap style) incredibly loud and continuously until well after 0300 in the AM. We went grocery shopping in the AM and saw them leaving the dock in the early afternoon. Then to to add insult to injury, later in the day while my wife and I were trying to enjoy some time there with some wine, one of the rental boats, also from the other end of the Marina dock, pulled in with a bunch of people with blaring music, who objected to our request for them to move out of the slip next to us, to down where they rented the boat from and that these were Marina spaces, which we paid for. After a lot of words, particularly from a young female entitled big mouth and an escalating situation we got them to leave. Throughout all of this the only involvement of anyone from the “so called “Marina” was upon arrival and only after the first encounter. Not only does this Marina not provide normal services, like showers, heads or pump outs, any kind of security or controls on what’s happening there, they they ignore ignorant and obnoxious behaviors at a cost similar to the St Petersburg Municipal Marina at which we’ve had great experiences with their complete Marina services and desiring to please professional staff. This Marina was a total waste of money!!!

Friendly staff, convenient location

A great location to visit Tampa!

Nice plain, marina bathroom very clean. However no showers or laundry facility.

We had a great one night stay. So much to do around the marina and staff was very helpful. Some limited facilities (no showers) which we were aware of at the time of booking were outweighed by the location.

Jason the Dockmaster was very accommodating and helpful. And very pleasant stay

Well maintained concrete floating docks in the heart of downtown Tampa. Excellent service from Dockmaster Jason and crew. We will be back!

Jason was awesome in getting us settled and docked up

We booked into a slip at the Tampa Convention Center. The docks here are nice floating concrete docks and you are just steps away from the Trolley and many restaurants. The issue here is a lack of security. We've been here two nights and had people board our boat around 2:00 AM both nights. Night one was a group of 4 young men, who we think were trying to steal items from the center console beside us and jumped on our swim platform. Last night, a couple decided that it would be fun to have the girl lie on the bow of our boat for a photo shoot. (our main bedroom is in the bow). There is no security gate, not even a sign saying private and the dock is shared with paddle boats, rental boats, booze cruise, and tiki boats. The dockmaster is said that the Convention Center is in charge of security, when we called Security last night, they said they would "send someone to check on the docks." We were up for over an hour calming back down, and we never saw them. So, nice facilities, but poor security. There are other marinas in the area, not quite as convenient, but I'd give them some consideration.

Mr Mike was happy and welcoming! We were thankful for the help with our lines and the friendly advice on the area!

Really nice staying downtown...dock hands were great.

Great dock attendant's, friendly. Riverwalk is a must when in Tampa.

Very nice docks and good location. They should increase the number of toilets available to boaters and make arrangements for 24-7 access for boaters.

There are many good things about this marina. The staff is great and deserves 5+ stars. The marina is reasonably priced for such a strategical location. The facilities are well kept. Tampa has done a good job of policing the area and while caution is still required I seldom feel threatened. I hate giving this only a 3 star rating after all it is a downtown location and you can't blame a dog for having fleas but do not expect to get any sleep as this place. It is loud!! Otherwise, if you come to party, or do the night life thing, or as we do to add a little fun to a business meeting and don't mind forgoing sleep this is the place. We'll come again and after we pull out find a nice secluded anchorage where we can saw some logs.

Was crowded that day, but fit me in and helped tie up boat.

Great service from Jason and his team. Plenty of loud music lasting late into the night from surrounding water front bars but that is to be expected in a downdown location on a Friday night. We will definitely be back!

Great place fo a one night stay, all happening around the area,

Thank you for your service!!!

Docks are clean and orderly. No security however in spite of significant activity downtown there were very few visitors other than those for the vendors on the doc. People from the paddle boat rental and a tour boat operator helped us dock as there was a pretty good crosswind blowing us off the dock. Never saw the Dockmaster or any one official or in charge. Went to the Dockmaster's office/booth and no one was there so I Left a card. We just had to guess at how things operate and where things were. It would be good to have a welcome packet with some information, guide to the area and riverwalk etc. I am sure some local restaurants would throw in some coupons to get you there. Still, overall a good experience.

Great stay..........

Excellent marina! It is nice to be able to reserve a slip. Dock hands are friendly and Dockmaster is very accommodating. Good protection, an occasional swell from wind and boat traffic, but not uncomfortable at all. Music plays till 3 am on the weekend and NE wind can blow it right to your boat. But other than that, the vibe is very enjoyable!

Dock staff was extremely helpful. Location was perfect. Lots to do and lots to see
