Wonderful, well-protected marina within walking distance to downtown St Petersburg's shopping, dining and museums. Sean and his staff are super friendly and eager to help with anything we need. The facilities are very nice and we enjoy having a cup of coffee in the Captains Lounge. Bonus - two to six manatees hang out just behind our slip everyday!!! This is a great place to stay for a day or a month!!

Nice marina. Our buyer's broker, Captain Z, works out of there a lot. We roamed the docks and looked at several boats there. Nice facilities & nice staff.

Very friendly line handlers. Deep draft marina. Floating docks but it is kind of pricey in our opinion. Pool is nice and clean. Not a lot of grass in the immediate area for big dogs, but close to parks within waking distance.

Good stay overall. The marina has floating docks which we all know is just fantastic. Very calm night, very quiet, and the Dock Masters are really helpful. About 12 blocks from town, but not a bad walk for good food and entertainment. Very secure and clean facilities. Pool looked great, but didn't get a chance to use it. It's a location worth experiencing.

Nice marina with large floating docks. Long breakwater but still lots of rocking if a strong east wind. $3.50/ft plus $20 for electric and tax equals $192 a night for a 46 foot boat. Small pool looked nice. We were turned down for line handlers when we asked for assistance on the radio. Lots of great parks and trails to take a dog on a walk.

I had one of the first slips here in 1988, my first boat was a Pearson 30 sailboat which I kept for 5 years. My next boat was a Cal 35 which I kept for 3 years. I left the Marina after selling my boat in 1996. I purchased a Hunter 376 in 2015 and returned to the Harborage Marina and have been there until the present. As far as I'm concerned, they have the best amenities and service along with the safest location in the area. Since I live about 2 hours away I feel confident my boat is secure with the floating docks. It has easy and fast access to sailing in Tampa Bay and beyond. The pool, close by shopping and restaurants make this location ideal for permanent and transients as well.

This is our new "favorite" St Petersburg marina! A superb place to spend a week or a month, with all the sought after marina amenities that long-term cruisers desire, including reasonable dockage fees.
We'll be back!

Really an excellent marina! Easy, deep water access with easy docking. All the docks are floating and well maintained. Each dock comes with a dock box. Best of all, it is well protected from swells and wakes so you rarely even feel a ripple.

The boating community there is very friendly and open. The staff are readily available and very helpful. Amenities include clean restrooms/showers, inexpensive laundry, fairly good WiFi, mobile pump-out, fuel dock, and a Captain's Den with coffee and widescreen TV.

St. Pete is within walking distance, as is the library at USF (with free, VERY fast internet access.) St. Pete is a great city with lots of entertainment, restaurants, shopping, etc., and has an excellent public transit system. And some of the best beaches in Florida are just a few miles away.

I think this is the best marina in St. Pete!
