Considerations

Some boaters note:

Depth can be as low as 4’7″ in some areas (5-foot draft vessels should confirm availability)
“Skinny water heading from the river to the bridge” at mid-tide for deeper drafts
Marina does not provide recycling (Jacksonville does recycle; nearby residents may assist)
Slips can be tight in some inner corner locations

Most guests conclude these are minor considerations given the overall quality, with many saying “you’ll probably enjoy the marina” and rating it “Best Marina in Florida.”
