Nice marina on the ICW. Easy access to the outer fixed dock with minimal current. Nice restaurant near by and close to downtown. Nice laundry and bathroom/showers (could be cleaner) are close by, there's some pet access. They don't have very many transient slips so we were on a wait list but it all worked out. Overall it's a nice place to spend a couple days.

Clean professional marina, conveniently located near historic downtown Venice. Arrived on a Sunday with the intention on spending just 1 night. Weather in the morning was looking terrible and told us to stay until it passed. Ultimately, we decided to add 1 more night to the trip. The right people and attitude can go so far to making an experience great and this team certainly did that. Some wave from passing boaters but very calm and quiet night on floating docks. Located directly on the ICW.

Very easy to pull up to the dock and fill up. The attendant was friendly and they have a nice convenient store to get essentials.

We visited the marina by boat May 5th, 2018 (Cinco de Mayo) and had a great experience. Dylan was the gentleman at the marina we dealt with and was most helpful with docking, H2O/elec hook ups and even a dockside pump out. The marina has everything you need including gas/water/elec, single user bathrooms with shower, and an onsite restaurant (Dockside Waterfront Grill) with excellent choices for food and drink. Downtown Venice is also a very short walk over the bridge, with more restaurants, and shops to chose from. The Seafood and Music Festival was going on while we were there. One of my favorite things about the marina is that it is pet friendly with floating docks that rise and fall with the tide making it easy to access the boat for everyone. The Waterfront Grill is pet friendly as well. All things considered I highly recommend this marina especially if you have pets, whether just passing through or looking for some place different to spend a weekend.

This is a good marina. We were able to do a side tie and dock side folks helped us tie up. Great restaurant. We were in and out the next morning at first light. Had to wait on the bridge. I would recommend to fellow loopers.

Good people, great location! Fisherman's Wharf Marina offers a protected harbor within minutes of the inlet. Their restaurant and tiki bar are excellent and reasonably priced. They also have fuel and a scuba operation on site. Will recommend to fellow boaters!
