Had to leave the boat for a week and this place was only $175/week. As other's have mentioned, Seafarer's is a no-frills sort of place but it suited my purpose perfectly. The owner came out and help me get tied up which was a big help because the pilings provide awkward leads for my particular boat. I was going to shower there but it was not clean at all so showered on the boat instead.

Unpretentious marina not too far from mouth of St. Johns and not too far from downtown Jacksonville. The owners are quite friendly and accommodating and are boaters themselves. The restroom/shower is clean and pleasant, although not luxurious. Seafarer's is more working-man/sailor than yuppie/yachtie.

The surrounding neighborhood is working class. There's a Harvey's Supermarket about 1.5mi by foot, and a Publix about 2.5mi away. The Jacksonville Zoo is on the north side of Trout River and at times you can hear some of the louder animals.

The Jacksonville Fire Dept has a facility next door (east) where they keep a firefighting boat and a smaller, rescue launch. It appeared to be manned 24-hours/day.

The marina is exposed to about 4-1/2 miles of fetch from E to NNE winds, but there was not a lot of wake action from boats transiting the Trout River.

This could be a great stop. Some of the liveaboards need to go. Lots of late night screaming. Lock everything up. Docks are in poor shape as well. I will never stay here again or recommend this marina to anyone.
