Northern Gulf Marinas

  Marinas online :  
   
 
     
 


Moorings of Carrabelle http://www.mooringscarrabelle.com/


The Moorings of Carrabelle - The largest marina in the Florida Panhandle east of Panama City. Full services, a friendly attitude and well sheltered dockage combined with nearby good dining and a charming community, make the Moorings a real winner.


C-Quarters Marina http://www.cquarters.com


C-Quarters Marina - Carrabelle's newest pleasure craft oriented marina. This facility features 67 wet slips, but only two to three are set aside for transients. There are also shoreside showers, an on-site restaurant and a large ship's store. If you can find space here, C-Quarters can most certainly be considered as a realistic dockage alternative in Carrabelle.


Miller Marine Logo http://www.homtown.com/millermarine/index.htm


Miller Marine of Apalachicola - A good fuelling stop on the Northern Gulf ICW, located in the heart of the old cotton port of Apalachicola. Minimum transient dockage is available, but the facility next door, Apalachicola River Inn and Marina, does offer space for visitors


Apalachicola River Inn and Marina http://www.apalachicolariverinn.com/


Apalachicola River Inn and Marina - Located on the principal Apalachicola waterfront, directly adjacent to the ICW passage.


Deep Water Marina http://www.deepwatermarina.com


Deep Water Marina - A somewhat small, but first class marina within easy walking distance of downtown Apalachicola. This facility is located along the westerly banks of Scipio Creek, downstream of Scipio Creek Marina (see below).


Scipio Creek Marina http://www.scipiocreekmarina.com/


Scipio Creek Marina - A superior facility on the Apalachicola waterfront. Scipio Creek features ultra sheltered, modern dockage, a well supplied ship's and variety store, plus full repair services. It's a walk of some five blocks into downtown Apalachicola from the dockage basin.


Port St. Joe Marina logo http://www.brandymarine.com/

Port St. Joe Marina - A new facility located in the heart of downtown Port St. Joe. This community lies between Apalachicola and Panama City, in a region that offers virtually nothing else in the way of pleasure craft facilities. The waters of St. Joseph Bay, lying about Port St. Joe, are accessible from the ICW via the deep Gulf County Canal. We have now visited this facility and can attest to its first class management and services. It will most definitely be making an appearance in the next edition of our "Cruising Guide to the Northern Gulf Coast."


Panama City Municipal Marina http://www.cityofpanamacity.com/pcmarina.html


Panama City Municipal Marina - It just doesn't seem fair that Panama City should have so many top-notch marinas, but this facility is quite simply one of the best city owned marinas that we have ever reviewed anytime, anywhere. Dockmaster Chris and her fine staff simply can't do enough for you. This is a great spot to spend just a night, or a week resting from you travels. Great dining within walking distance including Bayou Joes and The Pasta Peddler!


Bay Point Marina http://www.baypointmarina.net/


Bay Point Marina - One of the best privately owned marinas in the Panama City region. This extensive facility is located on the northeastern shores of Grand Lagoon, accessed from the Panama City Inlet channel. Trust us on this one, you won't go wrong by coiling your lines at Bay Point!


Treasue Island Marina http://www.interoz.com/treasureisland/


Treasure Island Marina - I know it's beginning to sound like the Panama City Chamber of Commerce paid us off, but here is the web site for another excellent, friendly marina in PC. This one is located on the westerly end of Grand Lagoon. The marina's fuel dock is open 24 hours a day. How's that for full service!


Sun Harbor Marina Logo http://www.sunharbor.com


Sun Harbor Marina - One of the recently improved marinas in Panama City. Flanks the ICW's easterly shores immediately south of the Hathaway bridge


Harborwalk Marina http://www.harborwalk-destin.com/marina.htm


Harborwalk Marina - The only marina in Destin harbor currently offering transient dockage. Nevertheless, both the marina's and their web site's focus is on charter fishing


Shalimar Yacht Basin http://www.shalimaryachtbasin.com/


Shalimar Yacht Basin - One of the Fort Walton Beach marinas offering transient dockage and repair services. SYB is located on the shores of Garnier Bayou, on the Choctawhatchee Bay side of the restrictive fixed bridge which crosses this body of water.


Fort Walton Beach Yacht Club http://www.fwyc.org/


Fort Walton Beach Yacht Club - One of the friendliest of the many friendly yacht clubs flanking the shores of the Florida Panhandle. This club's sheltered docks are located on the western shores of Garnier Bayou, just off Choctawhatchee Bay.


Pensacola Yacht Club http://www.pensacolayachtclub.org/


Pensacola Yacht Club - One of the most prestigious yacht clubs in the Florida Panhandle - located near the mouth of Bayou Chico


Bahia Mar of Pensacola http://www.marinamgmt.com/bahia_mar.htm


Bahia Mar of Pensacola - Owned and managed by the same good people who bring you Seville Harbour and Palafox Pier in Pensacola (see below). Once upon a day, under different ownership, we barely even mentioned Bahia Mar in our Cruising Guide to the Northern Gulf Coast. Now, it is an excellent facility offering transient dockage and full repairs. Conveniently located near the mouth of Bayou Chico.


Day Break Marina http://www.daybreakmarina.com/


Day Break Marina - a nice, high-dry oriented marina on Bayou Chico. If you need dry storage in Pensacola, this is one of the first places to look!


Browns Marine http://www.brownmarine.com/


Browns Marina and Repair Yard - Offers extensive repair capabilities for both pleasure and commercial craft. Good transient dockage is also available. Located on Pensacola's Bayou Chico


Pensacola Shipyard http://www.psmc.net/


Pensacola Shipyard - A good marina and full service repair yard on the upstream reaches of Pensacola's Bayou Chico. Unfortunately, this web site deals almost exclusively with the firm's commercial (vessel) repair capabilities. Perhaps in the future, more info will be made available here for pleasurecraft.


Palafox Pier Yacht Harbor http://www.marinamgmt.com/p_pier.htm


Palafox Pier Yacht Harbor - the newest of the three Pensacola pleasure craft facilities owned and ably run by Marina Management, Inc. Featuring ultra-modern dockage and a well sheltered harbor, Palafox Pier is located in the heart of the downtown Pensacola historic district. When last we saw it, this facility was still under construction, but it's now fully open for business. Please let us know something about your experience after berthing here!


Seville Harbour http://www.marinamgmt.com/p_pier.htm


Seville Harbour - The oldest of three first-class pleasure craft facilities under the Marina Management umbrella in the Pensacola region. Formerly known as Harbour Village at Pitt Slip, visitors will find plentiful dockage,two on-site restaurants and easy access to the Pensacola historic district. There is much to recommend this facility to visiting cruisers!


Perdido Pass Marina


Perdido Pass Marina - A small marina located on the western flank of tricky Perdido Pass Inlet. This facility has a heavy emphasis on charter fishing craft.


Sportsman Marina http://www.sportsmanmarina.com/


Sportsman Marina - A good web site for a fine marina. Sportsman Marina is located on Terry Cove, just inland from Perdido Pass Inlet. This marina offers good dockage and full repair services. Give them a try!


Pirates Cove Marina http://www.piratescoveriffraff.com/


Pirates Cove Marina - Click here to view the still-under-construction web site for the funkiest marina on the Northern Gulf Coast. Pirates Cove guards the ICW's northern flank, just west of the Florida - Alabama state line. There is a backwater quality to this marina and repair yard which is rarely seen in cruising circles this day and time. The on-site restaurant looks as if it has just stepped out of the 1950's, and they claim to serve the best cheeseburgers in the world. We think that might be stretching it a bit, but everyone should visit Pirate's Cove at least once. You may decide to stop here time and time again, or you may never again darken its doorway. This is the sort of place you either love or hate!


Fairhope Yacht Club Logo http://www.siteone.com/yacht/fyc/


Fairhope Yacht Club - An ultra-friendly yacht club with reciprocity agreements in place for visitors belonging to other accredited yacht clubs. Located on the southerly shores of Fly Creek (eastern shore of Mobile Bay) near the village of Fairhope


Turner Marine http://www.turnermarine.com/


Turner Marine - The first facility you will encounter on western Mobile Bay's facility rich Dog River. Turner features plentiful dockage, full repairs and a marine store.


Mobile Yacht Club Burgee http://www.mobileyachtclub.org/


Mobile Yacht Club - Another of the Northern Gulf Coast's many friendly yacht clubs - located on the shores of Dog River.


Dog River Marina http://www.dogrivermarina.com/


Dog River Marina - "THE" marina for larger power craft between Pensacola and New Orleans. This facility was named "2000 Marina of the Year" by "Boat Motor Dealers" magazine. The wet slips host any sort of pleasure craft, and the warm and knowledgeable welcome is all one could ask for. The on-site service facilities, including the redoubtable Middleton Marine, are second to none. Many owners of Hatteras Yachts make a special trip year after year, just to have their craft serviced here. With good dining nearby, there is no reason not to set your course to this absolutely fabulous facility. By the by, are you beginning to get the idea that we are impressed with Dog River Marina?


Biloxi Yacht Club http://www.biloxiyc.org/


Biloxi Yacht Club - One of the oldest and most venerable yacht clubs on the Gulf coast. This club and its dockage facility are located in the heart of downtown Biloxi


Gulfport Yacht Club http://www.gulfportyachtclub.org/


Gulfport Yacht Club - It has been my privilege on three different occasions to make presentations to this marvellous yacht club. Their clubhouse is excellent and their dockage complex is well sheltered and inviting.


Slidell Marine http://www.slidellmarine.com/


Slidell Marine - A small marina/repair yard located well upstream on Bayou Bonfouca (off the north shores of Lake Pontchartrain near the Interstate 10 bridge)


Prieto Marina http://www.prietomarina.com/


Prieto Marina - Web site for the large marina which manages a host of fine wet slips on the shores of Bayou Castine, within a stone's throw of the north Pontchartrain community of Mandeville. Dining and provisioning are nearby, and you won't find a more sheltered harbor anywhere. Say hello to my good friends at the Pontchartrain Yacht Club whose headquarters flanks the entrance of Bayou Castine!


Marina Del Ray http://www.claitors.com/mdr/marina.htm


Marina Del Ray - An excellent pleasure craft facility on the beautiful Tchefuncte River (off the northern shores of Lake Pontchartrain), hard by the charming community of Madisonville. Great dining is nearby, and the town waterfront plays host to a popular wooden boat festival in September.


Southern Yacht Club Burgee http://www.southernyachtclub.org/


Southern Yacht Club - Arguably the most prestigious yacht club on the entire Northern Gulf Coast. The club's headquarters is prominently located in New Orlean's West End harbor.


South Shore Harbor


South Shore Harbor - The newest of the New Orleans "Levee Board" municipal facilities for pleasure craft. A huge gambling casino is located adjacent to the dockage complex


Orleans Marina Logo http://www.marinasinneworleans.com/


Orleans Marina - The other New Orleans "Levee Board" municipal facilities for pleasure craft. This facility is located in well sheltered West End Harbor, and is very popular with visiting cruisers
