Loved it!!! Easier to get into slip than most. The 360 degrees view of the town, condos and water is breathtaking especially at night. Laundry and showers are very convenient. The restaurant was very good - a lot better than most. Downtown Sarasota food and shops are a very short walk. The mooring balls look very convenient with a place to tie up your dinghy as well. Definitely worth stopping here.

Once you navigate the current and get into your slip, Pink Shell is great. Dave is great help though. We weren't the only ones that made several attempts. Some were more than several. Amenities are great. Sunsets on the beach are beautiful. Although, they try to clean up and take your lounge chair as it is going down. Food and margaritas are just ok. Pools are really nice.

Marina Review for The Marina at Factory Bay

We spent one night on the end of the T dock. One of the electric outlets didn't pass our surge protector but the other one did. Boats were making wakes but it died down after dark. The free laundry is a bit of walk but worth it to not have to use our quarters. A lot of signs with rules here - only put clothes in washer, restrictions for trash in dock cans, can't use pool, etc.. Staff is friendly though.

Great anchor spot. Nice places to dinghy to the beach. A couple boats used the beach to put up tents and camp. We love the scenic view and the beautiful sunset from the gulf. Definitely coming back.

Such a great place. Very quite, there was 2 of us that anchored there and there was more than enough room. 9 foot depth, and low winds. Nice and quiet, we slept great.
