Great location, new docks, great restaurants.

Terrific Floating docks. In slip pump outs, but typically only on Thursdays. Laundry not working as of 2/27/26. Dock restroom/showers a long walk past restaurant patrons. Staff seem very preoccupied with drystack, tour boat and rental boat customers. Not near anything to walk to on land. But can dinghy to beach side dinghy dock.

Fantastic area, great Marina staff and plenty of choices for food. Marina restaurants are extremely good and lots of activity on weekends. Would highly recommend stopping in here!

The dock was very nice. No dockhand available to assist upon arrival. The woman running the marina office was grumpy, rude and of no assistance. During the day the entire marina is filled with very loud sound contamination from 3 or 4 different music sources. Not pleasant.

We made a reservation for two nights. We arrived at approximately 1:30 in the afternoon saturday, January 24. Hailed on 16 with no response. Noticed the marina was monitoring channel 17 posted on the columns. Hailed on 17 no response. Dock hands did not have handheld VHF's. Dock hand Yelled from the dock that they were full (apparently with day boaters visiting the restaurants). Yelled back that we had a reservation. Finally got the dock master on 17. They had to move a number of day boaters out of large slips in order to accommodate us. We had to float around in the current and traffic for the better part of a half an hour.

Nice facilities. Floating new docks. Pump outs on docks. Walkable into town. (1.3 miles). Would love to see one of the restaurants have breakfast. Would go again. Thanks!

Fantastic stay! We unfortunately, have a ground issue with our boat and new pedestals so we did not have power, but ran our genny as needed. The electric charge was removed from our cost and all was good! We hailed the marina on 17 and the dock hands met us to wave us in and catch lines. Tied us off and we were done! $5 pump out before we left and easy out! Busy Christmas weekend, but restaurants were good at the marina.

Always amazing at Salty Sam’s. Excellent floating docks and top-notch deck hands. Clean facilities. Two restaurants on the property. Safe, protected harbor.

They are learning their new slips. Reserved slip for 22' beam power cat. Came in with strong side current. Slip was 24' at the end but had a piling in the middle so narrowed to 21 foot. We stuck out 15'. All ok in the end, but broke 1st rule of boating "Thal shall not proved fee entertainment for others" As we came in just before Christmas boat parade WE were the pre parade entertainment! Fist time docking new boat (52' power cat)in strong side current into narrow slip with huge crowd watching. Dock hands very nice and helpful, but not knowable of there own slips.

We had a great stay at Salty Sam’s. We were passing through Florida on our way to our home in the Western Caribbean and found everything we needed. Great restaurants, very friendly service, fuel, and provisions very close by. I want to give a shout out to the entire staff, every single person we encountered at Salty Sam’s was kind and very helpful! Excellent marina.
