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.
