I hate giving Clearwater Beach Marina a 5 star review because there might not be room for us in the future!! However, they totally deserve it!
I can't say enough nice things about this Marina, it's location or it's staff!
It's location is convenient for shopping restaurants, the beach and medical needs.
The staff is welcoming and very helpful. The water in the marina is lovely and the protection is terrific. Of course, we think it's a blast to watch all the tourist and fishing boats as well.
They will be undergoing a retrofit in 2024 with new floating docks!
We highly recommend this wonderful Marina!
Marina Response:
Thank you for your kind complements regarding our marina, as well as our staff. So glad we could make accommodations for you and your husband. We are all looking forward to the complete renovation of the marina. Please make plans to stay with us after the upgrades are complete. Safe travels

4 out of 5. Docks and bathroom showers need upgrades
by Alex H. - Verified user on Oct 21, 2023
We enjoyed our location but I had to run the generator all night because the marina is old and can’t support 220. We were getting 205. It wasn’t enough to run our AC.
Marina Response:
Good morning Alex, We make every effort to accommodate our transient boats but unfortunately, dealing with an older marina, the drop in power is unavoidable. We made sure to point this out on DOCKWA in the description of the marina, so boaters can plan accordingly. All the more reason we are looking forward to the planned complete renovation of the Clearwater Beach Marina beginning Spring 2024. Please plan on staying with us once the rebuild is complete and let us know how we did. Until then, safe travels.
by Carson K. - Verified user on Oct 20, 2023
Dock person was alone in office so he could offer no assistance in docking, but very polite on radio. Sure hope they spend some money on facilities soon, and pressure washing bird poop off docks would at least be a start!

The communication was great, fuel doc man was great. The reason for 0nly 3 stars is the docs are not great, pretty old.
by James L. - Verified user on Oct 16, 2023
While the marina staff were AWESOME… the marina is dated and we had issues with reliable shore power and thus had to run our generator all night. We had planned to stay 3 nights but cut it short and just stayed the one. (We were told that a major upgrade is planned to begin in 2024 so stay tuned). That would cause us to return.
The location is right across the street from Clearwater Beach and that is a big plus!

The dock pilings are old and covered with oysters that stick out far enough to scar the boat if allowed to touch them. Floating docks would be a nice addition. The guys on the dock were very helpful and attentive.

Booked last minute three nights at the marina the first week of June. We were welcomed by a female employee who assisted us with finding our dock and docking our boat.

Clearwater beach marina was a nice place to stay. There are many things to do in walking distance. The staff was always very friendly and helpful. The marina is older but should be going thru a major renovation next year. The only reason its not 5 stars is the parking situation. Its hit or miss finding a place to park after about 10 AM most days, especially on weekends. Hopefully the renovation includes a parking garage with additional places to park.

We came for a few days and stayed over a month! This marina had the most friendly staff of anywhere we have been! After 5000 miles, that is quite a statement. Fantastic location near an excellent beach, probably the nicest beach we encountered on our travels. There is an inexpensive trolley that will take you around the area for minimal cost. Only negative is the fixed docks (about a 2' tide) and limited parking, if you have a car. They have a planned upgrade that will change the docks to floating. Then it will be even better!

We love this marina and the location. We stopped here last year near the end of our Great Loop and, although the finish line was in sight, decided to stay for a month. We had several guests come and visit us since the location is ideal with the beach and terrific restaurants close at hand. The marina employees are all great from the minute they grab your lines until your departure. Very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay so much that we put a reminder in our calendar to sign up with Dockwa again this past August for the month of March. We are looking forward to having several guests come and stay with us this month as well. Great place!

This is 2 stars at best. They had no staff to help us get to add up at the dock, which can be a little tricky with winds and a lot about traffic many voters and especially the tour boat disregard, no way and your boat will do a lot of rocking so if you’re looking for a nice quiet spot, this would not be your choice.

The location of the Clearwater Beach Marina is what makes it so special - a ton of shops, restaurants, walking/biking paths, & beaches all near the marina. The Marina it self is in okay shape. There are not enough bathrooms and they aren't in the best shape. One thing that was interesting is that they have electronic locks for the bathrooms (and the dock gates after they close a night) that you can control with your phone (via an app) - pretty slick. They also have a couple of nice commercial washers & dryers that are also paid for via another phone app. Overall - a great place to spend a few days! Couldn't give it 5 stars based on the bathroom facilities.

A nice marina, close to the beach and Pier 60 and the Trolley stop is a plus. But the marina is very susceptible to wakes both from the traffic on the GIW and from the tour boats operating out of the harbor. During the day we would be rocking and rolling in the slip. There is also only one shower and one toilet for as many as 20 transient boats that were here during our stay. Too many boats for too little services.
by william e. - Verified user on Dec 02, 2022
Our stay at the marina was fantastic as usual. We have stayed here many times just because it is a short trip from our hailing port in Dunedin. On this trip the dockmaster was a huge help as I was having trouble backing into my slip due to the wind. He jumped into action, my wife threw him a line and he literally pulled us into our slip. Not an easy task given the wind and a 30,000 lb boat. Hats off to you sir. We always enjoy this marina and the great restaurants and bars nearby!!
by James D. - Verified user on Nov 13, 2022
Good marina for location, fuel, washrooms, but terrible setup for laundry! They require you to download an APP that pays for the machines and will let you know when your load is done. The minimum you must put on the app is $25, and this is the only marina so far in some 2500 miles I have cruised, that uses this system. So, you end up paying $25 for a wash & dry. Unless I find another marina on my journey that uses the same system. Not good, go back to using we quarters. There are more complaints about the system than positive comments.

by Brian S. - Verified user on Oct 09, 2022
The location of Clearwater Beach Marina is great, being near the beach and numerous restaurants. That's the positive. On the constructive side, the App they use for access to showers and the docks after hours doesn't work and we finally gave up after numerous attempts with the staff. As a result, we were unable to use the showers while we were there, and we had to \"jump around\" the gate to get back to our boat after dinner. The electric hook-ups were down-right dangerous with exposed wiring being a shock hazard. The 50 A power at Clearwater Beach is only 208V and drops lower as more boats run AC. We had to run our generator at the dock to keep the boat cool during the day because our AC kept throwing low voltage warnings and was tripping out with the shore power. They do mention that in the description on Dockwa, so we were not surprised about the power. The docks themselves are falling apart with no fenders to be found and thick growth of barnacles to scratch your gelcoat. We had a great time with our friends while we were there, but I don't think we will be back...

Although they did bend the rules for me allowing me to stay 9 months, they were happy to see us become homeless at the end of July 2022 since we were unable to find another place for our boat/home. Also the docks are in ill repair, their employees were surly (with 1 or 2 exceptions) and the services supplied (electric, water and trash) were unreliable and unkempt.

Great location on Clearwater Beach. Price was fair for what you get ($66). Bathrooms and shower are fair. Bathrooms do have AC.
Docks are fixed not floating. We arrived after 5 and did not get assistance with docking however and we could have used it as a front was coming through. Staff was very friendly.

When we arrived on Friday it was quite breezy we had some issues trying to get into the slip. We did radio ahead to tell them we were coming in. not once did the doc master or anyone there come out of the office to help us tie up. I always tip them but there was no help to tip. Then we had to go in and ask for Wi-Fi password and codes for the gate and bathrooms and showers. On Saturday a boat was attempting to come in the slip next to us but was breezy so he radioed for help and they told him they were busy pumping gas and that he was on his own. We helped him tie off. No offer of any pump out before we left. Then a lady in another boat told us they did not help them either and that they were useless. We have been going there for years and when John was dock master this never happened. Next time we stay at coachman park marina at least they are helpful there. Don’t go to the municipal marina unless you have help getting into a slip because you are on your own there.

One of the most tired marinas we've seen, docks are very old and dirty. Staff was also tired, at best, or complacent. No help docking. No internet. After hours entry to dock required a proprietary app be downloaded, not good.

The marina was awesome. The parking was a joke. I tried for 5 days to get a parking pass. The parking attendants on site were rude and refused to let me get my pass in person. The online application was horrible and I was denied 3 times. Make this process easier and more friendly for your Marina guests.

Can’t beat the location but marina is getting pretty tired. Short fingers but they were able to get me on a T head which worked for us. Others were climbing over rails to get in their boat. And no Wifi AT ALL so in this age that knocks off at least one star. Despite all that it is still the place to be in Clearwater.

All employees, especially Kristen, were nice and helpful. We were able to meet a lot of other boaters and loopers. We give it three stars only for the boaters facilities. Although clean, there was only one large restroom/shower per gender. The Bait House restaurant (just next door) is a MUST!

The condition of the docks are poor and their App for bathroom access is Terrible!

Most everything went well as we've visited this marina in the past and are already planning another trip later this year. As we approached, I made several attempts to call but the phone number to the dock house apparently was redirecting to a fax line and I couldn't raise them on the radio. It seems a communication mishap resulted in them being unsure as to our request for port side dockage. We tied up at the fuel dock and finally got the proper slip and multiple apologies were offered by the dockhand then they directed us to the proper dock. We love this marina and all the activity and can't wait to go again.
by James R. - Verified user on Feb 16, 2022
Great being right on the beach front. The help did all they could to be courteous and nice. In some ways they are a little understaffed. Most marinas will have a person help you into your dock. It may have just been the time of day that we came in as they were busy at the fuel dock, but they only had one person working so he could not leave to help others get into there docks. The rest rooms and laundry facilities should be enlarged. Now with that said there are trade offs and staying that close to all the restaurants and the beach cannot be replaced.
Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Great marina - location, location, location. Everything is close to the marina. There are at least four restaurants right on the property. The beach is a 5 minute walk - right across the street.

The marina is well located and easy to get in and out of. Nice fuel and pumpout equipment. The docks are older and narrow, but perfectly fine. My only concern was the lack of security. The dock was open at all times that I came through. It is on the same place as the public ferry, the charter fishing, the dinner cruises and other high traffic areas. I never got a sense that there was anything sketchy, it is just something to make note of.

First, all the positives.....the location is fantastic, if you want to be in the middle of all the action. Many tourists on fishing charters and dolphin sight seeing boats, excellent nearby restaurants and of course, the beach. They did answer my call on channel 16 right away and gave me my slip number. I noticed several of the older wooden docks had been replaced since my last visit. It is reasonably priced and convenient to book on Dockwa. Now the negatives....it is challenging to dock there. They are close to the Gulf, so the wind is almost constant and sometimes strong. The docks are at a 90 degree angle to these winds, so you take the full force on your starboard side as you back in. Furthermore, the fixed wood docks have very short finger piers. You must tie a stern line to their single cleat then hold the boat in the slip until your first mate can get a bow line on a forward piling. Of course it would be nice to have some help but nobody from the marina was at our slip to assist. The transients must help each other. When we went into the office to check-in, the guy was cold and unfriendly. He did a very poor job explaining the basics to us and we took the information sheet to figure things out. The WiFi did not work in the evening but it was functioning in the morning. This is a busy, open public marina so I was concerned about security. I was told they lock the gate at 10pm and there is a security guard at night. We were in bed by then, so I don't know if that happens but my impression is that security is lax. We did not visit the showers or restrooms. The fuel docks are next to the transient slips and there was a line of boats waiting for gas and diesel. This is potentially a five star marina, if the employees learned customer service and the City would invest in upgrading the docks and security.

The marina is easy to access and is located within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and beach. It's an older marina and we had some power issues running our boat on 2-50 amp plugs but got through it. No one assisted us when docking and they were hard to contact upon arrival to get slip number. No real customer service but the location is great.

The slip where they put us was crappy. The slip was right next to the opening to the inside of the marina. A lot of big charter boats (head fishing boats, party dinner boats, etc.) coming and going all times of day and night. No outside poles to tie to so boat would just bang against the dock. We had fenders out but they were no match for the wake. We ask why they did not put us in another slip as many where open. Their response was we where too wide. We are 14'3". We are a Meridian 408. There were other Meridians 411 there which have the same beam as us. We travel to about 20 to 25 different marinas a year and we can tell the difference in service from government run marina's vs. private marina's. I first wanted to move because of he smell from the bird poop. Someone did come down and poorly washed off the poop. I asked to leave the hose and I latter did a better job of washing it off. The next day, I saw another boat come in and the first thing they did was to wash the poop off the dock also. We planned of staying for three days. We left after the second day. I did talk to others who have stayed there and they said slips between the bridge and dock masters office were best.

We had a nice stay. We have stayed there several times and my biggest concern was that the docks were always covered in bird dropping and that all the vendors had keys to the boaters bath house. This has been corrected and were very happy. They have a new phone app that allows boaters only to enter showers and it was very clean. Also they cleaned the docks every morning which made it nicer to be there. Keep up the good work. We will be back!

We were less than impressed with our stay. The slip location was was right next to all the commercial boats so we got to smell diesel while trying to enjoy the deck of our boat. When we went into our boat the WiFi was so weak we couldn’t pick up a signal. We then went out to eat and upon returning the M*****F****** GATE WAS LOCKED!!! We also couldn’t use the bathroom or shower due to no key. We received no key to re-enter! The sign said to call security, we did. Guess what?? VOICEMAIL!!! 4 freekin times we called, NOBODY ANSWERED SO I HAD TO CLIMB THE F****** FENCE!!!

It was very difficult to get a transient slip while in route, dockmaster was insistent we use Dockwa to reserve a slip. Dockwa states it could take up to 24 hours for confirmation of a slip, calling the marina multiple times with no results with reserving a slip. Docks are old and marina only supplies 208 amps for power, barely 200 amps, most of the time the power fell below 200 amps, so we were unable to use all our A/C units ( weather in the 100's) without tripping power or A/C's shutting down due to low voltage. We had to turn off A/C's to use hot water heater, microware, etc. Real pain in the A_ _. Really no place to walk a dog if you have pets, there is a small grassy area, but quite a walk for a small dog and over a large busy asphalt parking lot that you could fry eggs on and hurt the dogs paws. We walked our dog late one night after hours and got locked out of the marina, the gates lock automatically and we were not given a key for the gate at check in, we had no cell phone on us at the time and sign said to call the security at a certain number..........luckily there was a worker that jumped the fence to access the gate from the other side to let us back to our boat. All in all, a very old marina, full of old unused boats, large party fishing boats, dinner cruise boats, sightseeing boats, tourist type attraction boats, jet skis, fishing charters, etc . It's not a place to go for a relaxing stay! The marina should be torn down and revamped with newer docks (floating) and power. The poor dock masters are busy with refueling fishing boats and jet skis all day. Our recommendation would be go somewhere else unless your wanting to do tourist type stuff or want to be around drunk fest (spring break) type of people.

The online reservation did not give a slip assignment. By the time it was confirmed and I called the marina they were closed for the day. Upon arrival the transient slips were too small for the boat, ended up tied up on a face dock. No access to marina facilities. Would have much preferred to speak to the Dockmaster to make the reservation than online.

Fixed finger piers not in best of shape. Only single showers. No night security.
Dock hands helpful. Great location.

Not great. Very busy, no staff support, old docks, in a zoo Clearwater beach area. "D-" bathrooms/showers. Would not stay again for the money.

Good stay. Only one dock hand so no body to grab our lines. Never gave us a key for gates, had to call security each night to get back to our boat. New Year's Eve, no security on site, had to wait even longer. Charging more but offering less.

Great location. nice docks. The staff was helpful upon docking and all during our stay.
No charge pump out is included as well.

Docks are old and rickety. Bird crap everywhere. Worst part is that they don’t have enough power at the pedestals to run all my a/c units. For the price I paid I expected more.

Great location near the beach. Bath and laundry facilities are clean. Clearwater Beach is very walkable with available trolley to all points on the island and points north to Tarpon Springs. Publix walkable, trolley or bike. Docks aged but the positives outweigh any negatives. Helpful staff available 7-6:30. Fuel dock w/ pump out. Looking forward t o our return.

As a professional delivery captain, I have been staying at Clearwater Marina for 15 years. In that time, very little has been done to upgrade the facilities. It would be nice to see air conditioning in the showers closest to the office. Can you imagine what it is like to use those showers in the summer time? When I have asked about it before, I was told to use the showers down by the main building but I don't feel like parading past all those people with a minimum of clothing on for showering. I don't think it would cost that much, do you?

Great Marina and good service. Location is good with many restaurants in walking distance. Clearwater trolley system works good for getting around up and down the beach area. Good place to enter the Gulf if you're going North or South.
