Visiting the Marina

​

If you are interested in visiting the Marina, please call us at 239-495-3222 so we can clear you through the Gate House the day of your visit.

 

Having Your Boat Launched

​

Boats are launched between 8:30 am and 4:00 pm daily.  We utilize an online software product called BoatCloud to schedule launches.  When your boat arrives for storage, you will receive an email link to join BoatCloud.  To save time at the dock, you can request fuel and ice on the Boat Cloud, as well as live shrimp (during season from October through April).  Alternatively, you can call the Ships Store at
239-495-3222 one hour in advance to have your
boat launched (subject to available launch times).

​

Using the Marina After Hours

​

Launching:
Request a launch time through BoatCloud or call the Ships Store at 239-495-3222 before 3:30 p.m. Your boat will be tied to the floating dock for your use.

 

Returning:
Tie your boat to the floating dock; Marina staff will pull your boat in the morning.

 

Holidays: 
For Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Day, please alert the Ships Store the day ahead if you would like to have your boat available.

​

Purchases & Payments

​

Boaters are encouraged to use their Marina account for Marina Purchases. Guests may pay via ACH, with Cash, Visa, or MasterCard. 

​

Storage

​

The length of the boat is determined by measuring the distance from the back of the engine or platform to the front of the anchor or pulpit. Maximum draft at the Marina is 36” (per our permitting agreement).

 

Storage is billed on the 25th day of the month for the upcoming month of storage.

Work Racks

​

There are several work racks for boaters’ use, and can be used for washing, waxing, and repairs to the vessels. Racks are available on a first-come first- served basis. As a courtesy to other boaters, during the busy season please limit the time for washing of boats to ½ hour. All vessels must be out of the water to be washed.

​

Mobile Mechanics

​

For repairs required on vessels, there are several independent mobile mechanics available for assistance. If a vessel is under warranty, dealers are permitted to perform warranty work here as well. All vendors must have a Certificate of Insurance on file with the Marina. More information is available at the Ships Store.
