HarborWalk Marina

We rented a slip for 5 days and they put us in the gas pump/store slip. A few times we tried to go into our slip and other boaters were in our “rented” slip. This was not the boaters fault, as they were just getting gas or going into the store, they was no sign or anything saying the slip was rented . We fell like we paid a lot of money to RENT a slip, other boaters should not been able to use it. We put bumpers up, and lost one of them, as I am sure they were being used by the other boaters. The boys that work there FORD and PEYTON, could not have been nicer, more respectful and helpful, they rock!

Great!! Very helpful

Great facility in Destin Harbor, friendly & helpful staff

Easy to park out front. Attendant came out and helped tie us off. Very convenient if your staying on or near the boardwalk. Transient slip was a bit pricey though.

Staff was very accommodating made the stay easy and very enjoyable. Definitely recommend going there and I’ll be back. Miss B

All was well Really friendly. The only problem was the 50 amp was not working properly and would not service the power required for the boat. We had to stay on generator. I hope they get it fixed as we would stay often. They comped the whole stay though. We will go back soon, if they have 50 amps!

Great service! Lots if activity!

This marina and their staff are absolutely the best. Their kindness, attention and professionalism is incredible.

What an amazing location and an even more amazing staff. This was a first trip to HWM for us. We have visited several times staying in hotels and thought we’d make the trip via boat this time. The marina is an active one with several charters and restaurants so if you’re looking for a quiet docile environment be prepared. We enjoyed the people watching, walking, shopping and dining. We rented a car one afternoon and took a trip up to 30A. We loved the spa access and the parking pass provided. It was an awesome 4 night stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a great marina visit. I have to say it again… the staff was incredible we can’t say enough about them.

High traffic area. People don't obey the no wake zone. Every 15 minutes a massive tour boat comes buy and blows the horn at Harry T's. On Thursday's, Harry T' has Kareoke into midnight. So loud and the worst screaming i have ever heard. My boat got beat up. The dock is high and it's difficult to tie off. There's no cleats on the dock itself, only on the posts about 6 to 7 ft above the water line. There's no boards to put bumpers on at the dock, they boarded on the inside of the posts instead of the outside... they do that everywhere. Terrible design and no one seems to care to do better. I had to share a hose with my neighbor who actually fixed it himself. It took a day to actually get shore power. We were supposed to have access to the spa showers which closed at 5. We went at 4:45 and they said it was too late. Then the next day we went at 4pm. We waited 15 minutes while the lady was on the phone. Then she told us they were closing early. I ended up buying an inline propane hot water heater, strapped it to my boat and showered in the bay. The rest rooms are public restrooms... they're for everyone. The marina doesn't have dedicated rest rooms. The pump out was the worst. The dock is about 10 ft above the water line. The cleats are even higher on the posts. Ihad to do the splits, hanging off a ladder trying to pump out my boat. Got sprayed full of sewerage. Its the dumbest setup i have ever seen. Parking is a mess. There's definitely no place to park a boat trailer. The destin boat ramp is in really poor condition and tiny. My trailer scrapes the ground because the ramp is so short. The boat doesn't come out straight because the ramp is not level left to right. It's so uneven that the left side of my boat hit the trailer wheel well. Some teenager kept trying to grab my boat with a massive metal hook with no padding on it. It's ansurd actually. Not sure why the locals don't get in there and fix it. Destin is great, pity about the set-up. The only good part is the lady that owns the storage place right next to the marina. Great place to leave your trailer but very expensive for what it is. Wont be coming back to this marina or the ramp. It was terrible and definitely not relaxing. Loved destin. The views, people, beaches, fishing, ... all great. Boating amenities are really third world compared to pretty much everywhere else I've been... including third world countries. $150 a night... just terrible. I've paid half that and had much better facilities.

We had a great experience here and the BEST people watching! Walkable to plenty of restaurants and shops. Dock attendant when we arrived was a great for helping us tie up.

HW Marina is one of our favorite stops while in the area. Very helpful staff, premier location and a lively community is always found on the boardwalk.

Great location close to Restaurants and shopping

Harbor walk is nestled in the heart of Destin at Margaritaville. It's location to many stores within walking distance. Alot of foot traffic in the area. Music is constantly playing at the Margaritaville restaurant just outside your door. If your looking for a fun filled stay this place if for you. If your looking for peace and tranquility, perhaps drop anchor in the harbour. Justin if very professional and knowledgeable and is an asset to the area. Highly recommend adding this stop on your adventure.

HarborWalk offers a spot on the Destin boardwalk for any cruiser ready for entertainment options next door to Margaritaville and all kinds of shops and amusements. You just step off your boat to take walks. Fuel, water and pumpout are right there too. The staff are all competent and very friendly. The ambient boardwalk music shuts down early enough to sleep. We had a really nice, 3-night stay in December. I'm sure in the summer it could be louder for longer because of all the live music and ocean view seating down the boardwalk, but you probably couldn't snap an empty slip during high tourist season anyway!

Blaring Christmas music from 7:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Boardwalk lights shining straight into boat all night long. Dock pickings are awkward and had a hard time getting on/off boat!

Very convenient place to dock your boat when you stay at emerald grande. Great for anyone looking to go to crab island or fishing. Bait store is right there.

Parker was amazing!!!!! Dockmaster was on his game and helpful in every way!!!! Nice place to stop, but can be busy and somewhat loud in season and possibly weekends due to location. Nice place to stop.

Noisy and we had drunks trying to board our boat after dark!

Very professional and friendly

Everything was great! Everyone very friendly and helpful!

Would have liked to have known we were immediately next to the bar/restaurant (back and side of boat). Was a bit load until 10:00 when the band stopped. The marina crew were nice.

Great and convenient location for my small boat. The customer service at the marina was fantastic.

Loved the location. Staff was very helpful

Good location and easy to get in and out of. Water and electricity were handy.

Great marina. Dock hands were very good and professional.

great place right in the middle of everything

Slip was well kept and the staff was very helpful

Very nice place helpfully staff nice store for drinks etc had a hose to wash off and flush skis if you park here for day and has fuel

Loved the location. Steve was very helpful and answered all questions after hours. We will be coming back this summer. Dustin

We had a wonderful experience. We will be back!

We stayed one night at Harbor Walk. Staff was waiting dockside to assist when we arrived. We were tied up in front of Margaritaville. Several other reviews mentioned loud crowds late into the night. We were fortunate as the evening was fairly quiet. We did enjoy some fresh raw oysters in the area along with a great sunset.

Great spot! Very friendly and helpful staff. Good communication on arrival.

Nice stop over, little tough to dock , but was a good place to dock. I would do it again.

One of our favorites so far! Easy to book, they called to check on us! as we approached, dock support was amazing. The price is premium but the location is primo, and we had no problems being their 2 nights. Outstanding, a great place!

When I see an attendant come out with a brace on his leg to help when so many other places can’t be bothered to look up from a phone, much less send someone out to help a ship come aboard, I was impressed.

Right in the heart of it all. Slips backup to the boardwalk, so can be very noisy. Ours backup to the Margaritaville restaurant, literally 5’ from it! If you’re looking for a party scene this is your spot otherwise choose another marina. It was quieter than usual when we were there. Docks were high, but power and water was right there.

O.k. too much like a county fair. Probably would not stay again.

Enjoyed our time in Destin. Could not have had a better place to dock. Right in the middle of everything. The dock master has been very helpful and courteous. He has gone up and beyond his job to make sure we were happy with our stay.

Fun place. Great accommodations. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great spot for a one night stay. Dock hands were friendly and helpful. Right in the heart of the boardwalk..very convenient location..We’ll be back soon..

excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent

Excellent. Dock hands were very helpful and always had a great attitude. I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience.

We had an awesome time! The marina is very accommodating with great service and outstanding location.

Everyone was very helpful and very professional!

Very nice and accommodating.

Had to run generator all night because power output did not work on dock. Same thing happened 4 months ago.

Very professional and helpful.

Great!!!!!! Never had one issue and the staff was really nice.

Staff was really helpful and courteous. David took good care of us at sign in. Thanks !

Great Staff and Stay!!!! 4th of July Fireworks were great!! Lots to do & everything is very close. I was next to the pump-out so I didn't have to move to get pump out but I found it odd that they do not pump you out. You have to do it yourself. I knew it was a very busy area but its very very busy starting at 5 am. Lots of fishing boats leave early. Take this into consideration when you book.

Great marina, great service, the floating docks for jet skis could use some work which is all we used while there.

The marina was great. You can’t beat the location. The only issue and it has nothing to do with the marina itself but people in boats across from the marina with music insanely loud. It disturbed everyone including restaurant people. Law enforcement needs to have people keep it at a respectable volume.

Excellent customer service, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The marina store has plenty of supplies needed. The management is very flexible to changing situations.

Absolutely amazing marina!!! You moor your boat right in the middle of all the restaurants and shops. Perfect spot to get underway early for fishing, then afternoon at the Crab Island sand bar. When you get back, drinks from the multiple bars on the pier. Note that there's some sea grass in the bay that did clog our AC's strainer, but not a big deal, just clean it before going to sleep. Can't wait for our next vacation here. P.S. the marina crew were awesome too.

The jet ski floating ride-up dock was ultra convenient…just a few steps from the Emerald Grande at Harbor Walk where we stayed. There was always a dock attendant available for fuel or other service. I was initially worried about my boat’s security, but the dock had attendants all day and cameras at night. No issues here! We had a great time in Destin and was able to conveniently explore the waterways!

Great stay .. a lot to do and see Will definitely be back again Marina in the center of all attractions

Upon arrival we moored up in our slip. Upon returning to the slip one afternoon, they gave our slip to another larger boat and made us move all while trying to convince me that I was in the wrong slip for three days. They moved us because the other boat captain could not navigate the slip.

Awesome time and awesome staff!

Easy & very helpful staff.

Awesome time! Really enjoyed having our boat close by!

Great accommodations! Wonderful views and amenities.

Outstanding experience!!! The marina staff were very helpful with our 43’ Hatteras. From the time we first called via phone, contacted via VHF when close, and on deck to help grab our lines, fuel, pump and dock. Friendly and able to answer every question. Beautiful sights of dolphin swimming, crab island and tiki boats going by. We needed a minor repair and they were able to recommend a local shop that sent someone out to repair our windless. Overall outstanding experience and would highly recommend.

Slip was tight next to fuel dock and pump out. Used the convenient opportunity to rinse and chemically treat my holding tank and then pump out again next day. The wharf is very touristy spot, but there are a ton of good restaurants walking distance. Also a westmarine and hardware stores nearby for repair supplies. Dockhand was nice and helpful. Also good spot for dinghy ride to see dolphins. Recommend.

Great customer service and right in the middle of of restaurants and attractions. Not for everyone as it can get loud but we enjoyed our overnight stay. Showers available at the Spa.

Staff were helpful, but marina grossly overpriced and not in that good of shape. No laundry, no showers, bathrooms close at night. You’re right in the heart of a lot of restaurants and shops - but also a lot of noise. Bad & loud music was blaring from public speakers at 6:30 am. Not a good value in our opinion. If weather was good, would just anchor in the bay and dinghy to shops & restaurants.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. It's a happening marina in a boardwalk atmosphere, not your typical marina with restrooms and laundry facilities. Lots to do and see and yes, lots of people. We were outside the Margaretville restaurant (convenient eating spot). The view from the back of the boat was amazing. We watched beautiful sunsets, dolphins swimming and pelicans flying by. This was not a typical stop for us, but we enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our stay, but a map of where the slip is located would be a great benefit. Especially since the number on slip 40 is missing.

Very nice staff and helpful

Amazing location amazing stuff

Steve and all of the staff were very helpful.

Service was spectacular! The team was very accommodating and attentive to every detail. Will definitely return. Couldn’t ask for this to have been any more perfect.

Had a great stay at Harborwalk Marina on the M/Y Southern Star dockhands and marina manager were awesome. Will be staying there again next time we are in Destin

Harborwalk marina in destin florida is a topnotch marina although the staff is very young they do everything possible to accommodate your needs an a sample of that was when I forgot to bring my 50 amp shore power adapter they provided me with one and save me the day...I strongly recommend this marina to any one that is looking to have some fun since everything you need is just there restaurant shopping live music., you don't have to step out for anything they have it all.. however if you have small cruiser and you want to relax this marina is not for you a lot of tourists and inexperience boaters don't respect the no wave zone and is a constant battle with the waves.

Very helpful staff. We stayed two nights and crew checked in us a few times each day and made sure we had everything we needed. Our spot was right behind Margaritaville and close to everything. We will be back soon!!!

The staff members were excellent and made sure our needs were met. Crissy was amazing!

Helpful staff resolved any issues we had. Close to many restaurants and entertainment

Great staff! Stephanie greeted us at the dock and helped us tie up and explain the amenities! Great spot just in front of Margaritaville!

Amazing place!! Great staff

The staff was super friendly.

Great deck hands, and Bruce the Dock Master were awesome! Cannot wait for our next trip!!!

Only one transient docks has 50 amp service When we hooked up to 50 amp power, our first line showed 150 amp, which is to much on that line. When we inquired with the office, we were told they adapted the power to accommodate high power requirements. We had to run electric from another electric tower. Could not use our own water hose because the hose hook up was rusted on the faucet adapter. No showers. Great location for entertainment. However, the transient docks are right by Margaritaville, loud music from noon to close. Probably would not return by boat.

The staff were helpful and friendly, but the "marina" was not what we expected It's in an amusement/entertainment complex filled with noise, blaring music, screens and tons of people that were not boaters. The only restrooms available were those open to the public within the complex. No shower facilities at all and we never got the info regarding a wifi password. The dockage fee of $149.00 seemed outrageous based on the lack of amenities. The atmosphere and constant noise were not suited to us and then a large houseboat, the infamous Tommy Girl (being delivered to a client in Miami) docked next to us and ran their generator all night. If bars, glitz and noise are to your liking, stop here. Otherwise seek out a different location.

Great service!! Dock hands were very helpful. Shannon made sure we were taken care of!!

Great area to keep the boat. The trailer storage area for Emerald Grande needs to be addressed. Definitely not enough room. Will find another place to store the trailer next time.

Friendly staff. Awesome accommodations.

Wow! Great place in Destin Shannon was a great manager and took care of our needs. Her staff was very friendly and worked very hard. We will visit again in the future! Sincerely, Life’s A Journey.

Very easy to book. No complications. I would definitely use the marina again.

The location was good but there is no parking available. You have to pay $10 every day

Great marina! Staff is awesome. Always met at boat on arrival. Ship store has plenty of boating supplies! Transient manager provides thorough information about local boating knowledge. Deep slips! Great location to Destins premier Harborwalk! Minutes from great restaurants, bars, shopping and events. Fireworks all summer! Would recommend 10/10.

A little worn but more than adequate. Great staff was super helpful with docking and fueling in high windS and blowing rains. if you like a lot of tourist shops and chain restaurants, you have plenty right at the docks.

Great help getting boat docked and the location is perfect

Excellent place to stay, from the staff to the night life ... will not be a disappointment !! Again excellent staff

Location is great! Shore power was out of phase and played havoc with the security system, deck air conditioning and the entertainment systems on the entire yacht for the duration ! For these reasons I would not recommend or return

No ropes and original slip was way to small!! Had to park at gas pumps over night

service was awesome

Everything was great

Someone was in our prepaid slip when we arrived. They were docking there while we used the restaurant. We were accommodated on a fuel dock next to a glass bottom boat. Tourist going on boat rides filed up and down the catwalk for their tours. The harbor walk near our slip had music blaring 25 hours a day. For $3.50 per foot, we got robbed. Not recommended for others.

The staff member who greeted us and tied us up was very courteous and new how to tie us up properly. For the price ($150 roughly) for 1 night it was a big disappointment. Very difficult to get on/off boat, no private bathroom or showers for boaters, noisy with music right above us. We stayed at The Wharf in Orange Beach for half the cost and way nicer facilities.

Great stay and dock was perfectly located to everything, will be a yearly vacation from now on

staff was friendly and helpful

Shannon and Staff were great help! Lovely spot!

LOUSY DOCK IN FRONT OF MARGARITAVILLE WHICH WS FORTUNATELY CLOSED DOWSTAIRS,

Shannon was the best.

Excellent staff and great location for seafood festival

Love this place!!!! Great location!! Fun friendly staff!!!!

I arrived late Friday night to the marina where I did not have a slip to dock my boat for the night because the only slip they had available had there broken down boat docked in it. I had to dock my boat by the gas pump. The next day still no slip same thing. Ended up docking my hole time at the gas pumps. They told me they would come me a night and haven’t seen that either. Very high priced marina to dock your boat. I would not recommend docking here to anyone. Terrible experience. The staff was very friendly and polite but they didn’t actually do anything about the problem. Sorry Harbor Marina I will not be back again!!!

Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Slip was supposed to have water & electric. None found on our slip. We paid $1058.40. Then, if that's not bad enough, we were charge $10 per day to park!!! Ridiculous. No one has reached out for us regarding compensation for these problems. Probably not coming back anytime soon... Sincerely, Disappointed

we were given glorified courtesy slips for the Margaritaville restaurant to stay in. The people eating in the restaurant were 2 feet off the back of my boat. Also the pier I was on was also the loading site for a charter boat so there was always a lines of folks coming and going right next to my boat, no security at all. We felt like a zoo exhibit all day and night. We could not wait to get out of that place. We spent $200 for one night slip rental on a 38' boat (the most expensive for our entire trip). Next time in Destin I will just stay anchored in the harbor and call the water taxi to get to the board walk...

Our slip was directly in front of Margaritaville. At first I was unsure about the slip location but turns out it was perfect! We basically had free live music to listen to all evening and all that the harborwalk has to offer at our fingertips. The staff was awesome and very friendly. We will definitely be back again.

Very helpful in the reservation process. I had to delay a couple of times due to weather. Also very accommodating when helping me in (I singlehand). Also had let me us a 30 to 50 amp converter at no charge). Tku! I will be back!

Extremly expensive and without any service, tied up at the fuel jetty.

At $4.50/ft/night I would expect showers and wifi but neither were available. It's not that they were broken they don't exist.

We were very disappointed with this facility. We were on the gas dock where folks just constantly come up to look at our boat. In addition the lack of facilities ie showers laundry etc did not justify the dockage fee charged. We will not be returning to this marina.

not a full service marina by a long shot but we like being right in the middle of the action in destin.. we will book the slip again

The staff was excellent! If you are a party person this will be a great stop. Lots to see and do. Great restaurants all around. It is expensive for not having a typical marina facility, no boaters areas, no pool, The reservation process was TERRIBLE! What could have been accomplished in a 5 minute or less phone call took 2-1/2 days with emails going back and forth then when I called the day of my arrival to let them know I might be late the dockhand on duty couldn't find my reservation , he had to call his boss and call me back. 10 minutes later he called and everything was fine it just hadn't been put in his book.

We paid for a boat slip, and I was told we'd have one. All that we got was parking next to the gas pumps. My boat was moved multiple times, and not by me. One of the times the boat was moved, they didn't use the buoys to protect it from beating against the dock. I now have cracked and scratched gel coat. Thanks a lot for nothing. I will make sure I leave a review on every social media platform to get my point across. $900+ for a slip that we never got. Not to mention we always had to wait to leave or come back in because of other boats using the gas pumps. Total BS, waste of money, and disappointment.

Loved the proximity to all the shops and restaurants. Very helpful dock hands. 42ft. Motor yacht.

The staff at harborwalk marina are very professional, and were always so nice and helpful. Suggesting the best local restaurants, their fishing knowledge and wonderful personalities! Definitely coming back!

Very friendly staff. Great place for a night of fun.
