Great facility and staff. It's a functioning boatyard with a great reputation. Convenient and they have a courtesy car. Fuel prices were extremely reasonable and pump out was convenient. We were weathered in a few days and Kim was extremely easy to deal with. Their dock store would put most West Marine stores to shame. We will be back.

Pros:Great staff, great service department and great honky tonk bar/restaurant.Reasonable slip , service work and fuel prices. Had some work done and they were very reasonable and responsive. Cons: Pretty isolated location and docks have water over them in some high tide situations as we were on fixed docks with other transients. We hope the new owners replace them soon.

Nice floating docks with power and water. Staff very friendly . We rode our bikes to the other side of this neat community. Stayed an extra day due to weather . Glad the Hidden Harbour restaurant was next door. Highly recommend. Restrooms could use some updating but price for docking made up for it. Will definitely return.

Great staff , amenities and easy access to grocery store and Ace hardware.The complimentary golf cart was a plus. We'd return to eat at Spoon River in a heartbeat. One caveat. We won't return if the wind is forecast to come from the bay at night. We thought the breakwater would mitigate wave issues but it did not. We had storms night we were there and blew out a 3' taylor made fender as we were pummeled against the dock. Even had difficulty getting off the dock to leave due to wave action .

Rustic out of the way place that is perfect for a stop in the middle of nowhere to break up your trip. The owner met us as we came in and helped us with lines when we left. Power and water worked. Beautiful views of the marsh. Watch out for the outgoing tide when you come in as it will push you into the docks. Nothing glamorous but serves its function well.

Left our boat there for a week to so we could go home. The good: great facility, great staff , Publix, West Marine and restaurants a couple of blocks away and wonderful folks that dock there permanently. The bad : come in at high tide . We draw 4.5' . We had 5'9" at high tide going out. We were not so fortunate coming in and saw less than 5'. Also note some of the channel markers were missing when we were there last week. We'll come back but only at high tide.

Excellent marina and staff was extremely helpful in some very windy conditions. Great location to Old St Augustine. It is a bit unnerving watching folks walk up and down the dock but we had no problems. Come in at slack tide. The tidal flow can be brutal.

We stayed on our way to Okeechobie. Easy to dock in front of the restaurant .The marina office is almost 1/4 mile from the marina. We hailed them as we came in and were told to go to channel 14. Went to 14 and nothing— no response to calls on either 14 or 16. Luckily some bar patrons helped us with our lines. This happened to another boat the same day. Then we had to move after all lines ,electricity and water hooked up. It was chaos as three boats were told to dock in the same space. We were blocked in but had good neighbors that left early as well so we could leave. The facility is nice, great location for transit and the restaurant next to the dock served good food. I'd stay again but won't expect any assistance or organization.

Wonderful location. Protected from wind. Facility has nice floating docks. Dock staff are great when they finally respond to the radio. Diesel over $1 more than most places but we were on fumes. Then to add insult to injury they would not give us the advertised 10% discount because we filled two tanks in two separate transactions but the total exceeded the amount purchased to get the discount. They made the decision to pump in two transactions and never mentioned discount until we asked and spoke with manager.

Great staff , facilities and location. Prices were reasonable and restrooms were clean. Convenient to restaurants and entertainment district. Watch out for current. It funnels at the bridge and screams. We had outside tie . Watch out for high north or northwest winds. We had 20-25 mph winds out of the north . Water piles up from the bay into the funnel at the bridge and it can get very rough. We will return but will watch weather forecast before doing so.
