Marina Review for City of Tarpon Springs Municipal Marina

Rating: 5

Charming little Marina right in the heart of Tarpon Springs. Impeccably maintained marina is a testament to the pride Mic and John demonstrate in maintaining their little slice of paradise. Floating docks and the cleanest marina bathroom you will find await you in this must visit little town. Walking distance to the spongedocks, and some great Greek and seafood restaurants.

Anchorage Review for Chino Island

This anchorage is conveniently off the ICW. Good for overnight stop, however offers little in terms of protection save for easterly winds if you tuck up close to the island. Had a fair amount of bugs when we stayed (Late Feb 2024). Holding is excellent, and plenty of depth for larger boats.

Hard to find a spot to anchor many of the vessels are liveaboards. Expect wakes from dawn to dusk from boaters both in the channel or navigating around. Nice view of the sunset.

Easy anchorage great holding. Very open space no other boats on anchor. If outdoors after sunset mosquitoes are a nuisance. Northerly Wind protection

Gorgeous great snorkeling, beautiful sunrises, sunsets and Star gazing.Good holding, marked channel we draft 3.5 feet but had a boat next to us that drafted 6 without any issues. Fort Jefferson is a must see you can join the Ferry tour guide they were very nice and informative about the history of the fort.

Marina Review for Fisherman's Wharf Marina of Venice

Reviewed by: Robert Herrera on Aug 17, 2022
Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 37'
Draft: 2.8'

Rating: 5

Clean professional marina, conveniently located near historic downtown Venice. Arrived on a Sunday with the intention on spending just 1 night. Weather in the morning was looking terrible and told us to stay until it passed. Ultimately, we decided to add 1 more night to the trip. The right people and attitude can go so far to making an experience great and this team certainly did that. Some wave from passing boaters but very calm and quiet night on floating docks. Located directly on the ICW.
