4/3-4/10 Great location in the north Miami Beach area (Aventura) Access via deep water canal. We were here as we knew someone that lives in the condos. Walkable to West Marine, grocery and other shops. Barbara and team were fabulous!! Greeted us with smiles and help for the lines. Explained the area and full access to the club was a bonus. Mobil Fuel and pump out dockside. Very well protected. Watched some big boys (100ft#) come and go. Fascinating!!

Nice marina with good service. Not a hard Marina to get to but the ICW around Miami can be crazy and you have to watch out for other boaters. The facilities were very nice including showers free laundry gym and more. If you have to be around Miami this is a good place to stay.

We stayed here for a week and it was fantastic! We successfully installed a new anchor windlass and 240 feet of anchor chain that we preordered at the local West Marine store. Luckily, our friendly Lyft driver was willing to transport this gear (it was heavy!). Other stores (Dick's Sporting Goods, Publix and Costco) are also nearby.

The marina has many upscale amenities, including a nice restaurant, spa, indoor + outdoor pools, tennis courts, 2 gyms, and free laundry. The personnel are really friendly and helpful.

The only issue was that the dockside internet was not accessible from our slip.

This marina is more expensive than others we have stayed at but it was well worth it.

We stayed here for four weeks. It was excellent. We were moored next to the mangroves, and enjoyed the resort amenities greatly. We used the pool, took many long walks, and enjoyed the dog park. I especially recommend and call out Barbara for her good service and help. We used their business facilities for several conferences because we're working along the way. We also enjoyed the workout gym during the month that we were there. The only thing that was not optimal, was the dockside Internet but we understand that is it in the process of being upgraded.. We look forward to coming back again next year and staying for a month or 2. We took several day trips down to Biscayne, Haulover inlet, and No Name Harbor. This marina is nicely located for day trips both by boat and scooter. This is a beautiful garden destination for loopers who are looking to take a break from the pressures of daily cruising. Private, quiet, no boat wakes.

Just a short note to review Williams Island Marina. Barbara's attention to detail is a pleasure when checking in and making a reservation easy to understand ,Bill the Harbor Master is quick to respond any needs you might have. Ken was quick to meet us at the dock when we arrived thank you Ken. This facility is top of the line.
The main office has a gym showers office rooms at your disposal a coffee room laundry facilities everything is cleaned daily and it shows this is one beautiful location and to top it off you get to use the facilities for the swimming pool & bar Just ask Juan or Derek at the pool for drinks and food .The tennis courts at Williams Island Marina will please any pro although I did not play on the courts I did have a bite to eat at the restaurant and it was a pleasure To watch the courts below. Dock side fueling must arrange with office. This is a secure facility with monitors at the gates.

Great place to be. Protected and very close to the intracoastal. Every store you need close by including West Marine. Expensive though! Top rates.
