    Great location, very protected and very easy to dock with wide slips and nice floating piers. Staff very willing to help out. Love the location near Hilton pool, good restaurants nearby, very walkable. No showers as noted, but was a great one-night stop. We would return.

  • Marina Review for Safe Harbor Islamorada

    Great marina tucked away among mangroves, very protected. No problem entering through a narrow channel. People working there are fantastic (Jerrett, Kate, et al). We rented bikes for the six days were there and cruised up/down Route 1. Very popular restaurant right on site, also a Marine Max who did some work on our outboards. Couple things they are working on: New electric pedestals still have a couple bugs (tripped breakers), and no bathroom on site - they let you use the Safe Harbor next door which has a pool and tiki bar, but is a 5-10 minute walk partly along the highway. Also no laundry. We would definitely stay again.
