The Boathouse Marina

We enjoyed our stay at the Boathouse Marina. Great location. Bathrooms, showers, laundry machines, all clean and great shape. We’ll be back!

People were exceptionally pleasant and accommodating. Location is great. Bathrooms are wonderful. Price was right. What more can you say!

Skip and Marlene were very helpful and gracious. New Dockmaster Lisa. (only a few days on the job), assisted with finding dockage for 2 days, as well as tying us up in a very narrow slip. Pump out at the slip was one of the best we’ve experienced. Palatka is a quaint old town with lots of history. Ravine Gardens is a must see. Plenty of places to eat as well. You really get a glimpse of “Old Florida”.

I highly recommend stopping at Boathouse Marina in Palatka. Skip and Marlene could not be better. They are fabulous people and willing to help with anything. The showers are beautiful they have been remodeled plenty of hot water clean spacious. They have pump out in the slip which was wonderful. I recommend giving them a try. We explored some local creeks in our dingy and it was wonderful.

Nice family run small marina. The bathrooms are outstanding. Easy walk to downtown to restaurants and such. Fixed docks but they are in good shape. Pump out is at the slip. Tom, the dock master, and Skip, owner/manager are attentive and easy to get to know. Highly recommended this marina.

Transient slip is interesting to get in and out of. Dockmaster is excellent. Bathrooms are new, clean and well maintained. Great stop and great food around the corner.

Great marina, best bathrooms we have experienced in the last month cruising Florida.

Stayed for a couple night. Great location close to town. The restrooms/showers were very nice with a washer and dryer for $1.50 each. It is a no frills marina but the staff and local boats are very nice and helpful. 30-amp shore power connections at our dock. Walk to the state park if you can. Would stop again when coming through the area.

This was our third time staying at Boathouse Marina and we’ve been pleased every time. Skip and Marlene are gracious hosts, responsive to questions/phone calls and were on the dock to help us tie up. The new showers are beautiful and laundry is available and inexpensive. We walked into Palatka and enjoyed dinner and a stroll around the waterfront. Will definitely stay again.

Helpful staff when docking and nice. Gave us good info on where to eat.

Easy docking and friendly staff

We enjoyed our stay there. Very responsive staff. Short walk into town for restaurants and entertainment. Great brewery and a pizza joint. Bathrooms and showers are very clean, spacious and new. First class! The dock is fixed so that was a challenge for getting on/off the boat. We could not get access to the wifi. We would definitely stay there again.

Excellent location at a great price!

Nice easy stop, Skip helps guide us in with tie ups! Quiet. East walk into town.

Great people, very helpful. A rustic marina. New Bathrooms and 1 new washer and dryer. Good stop we will be back.

They know what customer service and hospitality means

Nice stop.. new bathrooms…close to town.

The marina is small and has few transient slips, but it is inexpensive and has an owner working hard to improve the facilities. The new rest rooms are looking great!

Great place for a quick overnight stop. they are in the process of updating the laundry room and other areas. one bathroom is done and it is verry nice. will stay here again

Beautiful renovations underway, great bathhouse open now. Very helpful staff late on a Sunday allowing us the comfort of an overnight here to accomplish a long travel day. Palatka is trying to revitalize, recommend Azalea Brewery a short walk from the marina.

Terrific place For sure we’ll be back

Astor always, we had a great stay!

Quiet, clean and secure

Best marina on the Saint Johns for a perfect sunrise and sunset on the face dock. Our Marine Trader docked here for three months in 2024, and after our Loop, we came back to spend a few more weeks. We love the helpful and friendly owners who gave us a lot of time getting our boat set up to Loop, and welcomed us back upon return. Recently, the bathrooms have gotten a face lift and have some of the best shower pressure we experienced on the Loop. There are more plans in place to update the boathouse and docks in the near future. The historical downtown area is a short walk away and a wonderful state park a near bike ride away. Truly, the Boathouse Marin is one of our favorite places to be.

Marlene and family are wonderful people we had a great stay there would highly recommend it place this is a great place to relax and get off the boat for a few days.
