St. Petersburg Municipal Marina

If you come here, make sure that you don’t park in the wrong area. Much of this is NOT public parking, Much of it is for Deeman’s landing and those who live here. Otherwise, there is a circle of parking at the end, about 20 spaces in total, that are geared towards the public. You can park here, but watch out for those who are space hogs or don’t understand how to park in a semi circle.
The monument here, for St. Petersburg’s fallen Police Officers is quite lovely, if sobering, The view of the (Now defunct) Pier is quite incredible, and of course there is Albert Whitted Airfield, so you can see planes taking off and landing every so often. It’s a good place to sit and watch the wild life or just take a load off and listen to the lapping of the waves on the break water.

It’s perfect for keeping a boat. The location is beautiful. It’s not far from the beach, especially if you take your boat. You can sail right over to St. Pete’s Beach and party all day. Electricity is a little pricey, but not too bad.

We have been here over a year and really like it. We have a great view from our boat and is a prime location. Lots to do in this area.

Moved my boat here this past month. Should have done it much earlier. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and everyone has been helpful. The pump out boat will come on any schedule you choose, and its free. You can walk anywhere downtown within about 10 minutes. You can see the Grand Prix free from your slip, if your boat is tall enough. Can’t wait for Spring Training. walk to Al Lang field…
Everyone is friendly on North Dock!

It’s a shame this marina isn’t nicer for visitors. They don’t take reservations, and when you get there the transient dock is a fixed concrete dock fairly exposed. We tried docking there on a windy day and it was almost impossible, and we got no assistance from the Dockmaster. And when we did dock, the boat was rocking so much we decided to leave.
I say it’s a shame because the marina’s location is prime if you want to enjoy St. Pete. It’s walking distance from the Pier and all the yummy downtown restaurants. Unfortunately I found it very uninviting as a boater. I’d rather stay in the much more protected Harborage Marina and ride my bike 2 miles to the action. I won’t be coming back.
