Nice Marina, nice restaurant. (WiFi not so good !)

Marina Response:

Thank you for your review. I'm sorry that our Wi-Fi didn't work well for you. Since our recent upgrade, it had been working well. I'll notify our IT guy now so that he can look into it. We hope you will return soon. Until then safe travels.

Clean, convenient. Slow service at the fuel dock

Marina Response:

Stepahanie. Thank you. Our apologies for keeping you waiting. Our dockhands were assisting a single-handed sailor back into her slip. Thank you for your patience.

Very nice Marina. Friendly staff and well managed. Bradenton is a great small town with the main street just outside the marina. Peir 22 is the perfect place for dinner.

Marina Response:

We stayed 2 nights with 4 grandchildren and LOVED the bathrooms…beautiful & sparkling clean! Additionally, husband lost his glasses in water & unfortunately not a drug store within walking distance, but one of the ladies in the office let him borrow a pair until we checked out…love Southern Hospitality! Will be back!

Marina Response:

Cathy, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and we are happy to assist you with the need for glasses. Safe travels and we will see you next tide!

Dockage was excellent Confirmation should include assigned slip # Dock office closes at 5

by Terry V. - Verified user on May 31, 2023

Wi Fi much improved from our visit a year ago. However pool area not very clean: overflowing trash bins at pool and tables needed wiped down. Ice cream parlor very dirty both inside and out.

Marina Response:

Terry, your visit with us both this year and the year previously was over the busy Memorial Holdiay Weekend. The group at the pool that partied until 1 am will not be allowed to return. Yes, they did make a mess of the tables & left a lot of trash which my staff promptly cleaned when they returned to work next day. It's unfortunate that some can be so disrespectful of others.

by Stuart L. - Verified user on May 30, 2023

by Michael R. - Verified user on Apr 19, 2023

Excellent spot on the Manatee River. We enjoy it for the nice pool, clean and well organized shower/bathroom area, and the proximity to off property amenities. We walked to the Saturday market and a nearby brewery. On the downside, the last two times we've stayed here we've had occasional problems with strong sewage odors coming from the marina office building. Not a deal killer, but a persistent problem.

by Jay F. - Verified user on Mar 23, 2023

Very nice floating docks. Excellent location. Nice shower facilities.

Marina Response:

by Barry C. - Verified user on Nov 05, 2022

Twin Dolphin was easy to get in. Office and dock staff were helpful. Everything worked, water, power, restrooms were clean.\nThanks for an excellent stay on the transient dock. We draw 8’ so one of the few marinas we can enjoy a stay at in the area.

by Bryan F. - Verified user on Oct 25, 2022

by Gerard E. - Verified user on Jun 26, 2022

Great stay. Staff was helpful, facilities nice, good boaters lounge. Only thing stopping me from 5 stars is no Wi-Fi at the docks - only at the dock office. A couple of repeaters on each dock?

by Michael S. - Verified user on Jun 06, 2022

Great marina friendly staff, clean facilities. Walking distance to restaurants.

Marina Response:

by Stephen H. - Verified user on May 30, 2022

This marina is in an ideal location in downtown Bradenton and within walking distance to great hotels, restaurants, and shops. The staff members are helpful and courteous, and all the amenities are updated. Well protected with large fuel dockage and easy access in and out. The marina mostly caters to larger vessels, but I truly appreciate them finding room for our boat (Pursuit 235 DC) over the Memorial Day Weekend. This was our third stay and we're looking forward to returning soon.

Marina Response:

Stephen, Thank you for your kind review. We are happy that you chose to stay with us this Memorial Day Weekend. We wish you and yours well. Until next tide, Cynthia

by Richard F. - Verified user on Apr 01, 2022

New docks very nice, however had slip on ramp connecting floating dock to access gate. Reported incident to marina manager, but was not contacted about my condition or corrective action. WiFi had weak signal at A-39 dock. Could not find recycle containers. Given gate code for dock access, however numbers were worn off entry keypad. Great individual head/showers. Dock staff very friendly and helpful. Good meal at Pier 22 restaurant.

Clean facility with helpful staff. I was briefly concerned that grilling was not allowed on the boat only to learn that two large grills were provided on the pool deck.

This is an easy access marina. Docks are in great shape and in a secure gated location. I loved the area too. It was clean and lots of restaurants to walk too if you want to get out and explore.

Marina Response:

Thank you for the 5-star review. We look forward to your next visit with us.

by Mike T. - Verified user on Dec 26, 2021

The marina, docks and facilities are top notch. One unusual thing to report is that they closed early on Christmas Eve and didn’t bother to alert us. With the help of friendly boaters we just picked our own slip.

Marina Response:

Thank you for your kind review. Apologies for not alerting you in advance that we would be closing early on Christmas Eve. We are open 7 days a week all year round except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve after 12 noon, Christmas Day & New Year's Day. I'm glad our boaters were able to assist you. We do have a great group of boaters and staff.

We stayed here a few years ago before the marina was remodeled. Great location. Easy walk to downtown and restaurants. New marina has nice floating docks. Facilities are the same as before, pool and bathrooms. Bathrooms maybe upgraded a bit. WiFi has been replaced with wired Ethernet at each power pedestal. Great if you have Ethernet cable and router or other to plug it into. (We didn’t).

Marina Response:

Uklelegirl, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Thank you for your complements regarding our floating docks. Yes, our pool was remodeled with new marcite, tile, pavers and pool furniture. We completely remodeled our restrooms and showers with new tile & fixtures & added a boater's lounge upstairs which has a computer with internet access. In addition, we added a new awning, lighting, & landscaping. Since your vessel is a catamaran and a wide beam, the only location we had for you for the holiday weekend was on the T-head of B dock. This time of year, we usually have very limited availability. B Dock is setup more for our long-term customers, and is hard wired for internet, which provides greater speeds and less lagging. The ethernet connection is located on the power pedestal at each slip. We have ethernet cables available for loan if needed. We apologize that we didn't meet your expectations regarding the wi-fi services.

by Kathleen Z. - Verified user on Nov 28, 2021

Staff was helpful at the dock upon arrival and with a pumpout later. Access to the Riverwalk and downtown restaurants and pubs was great. The marina and city are quite dog-friendly.

Docking was easy with help from Andrew. Staff very friendly. Corwins ice cream shop in the marina. Stayed in the pool all weekend due to windy conditions. Love the floating docks.

by Todd M. - Verified user on Feb 17, 2021

The Twin Dolphin Marina is very nice. The facilities are clean and easily accessible and direct access to downtown Bradenton is a plus. Most of all the staff is very courteous and helpful. They were quick to answer on the radio when calling in and provided excellent assistance catching us on the dock. Highly recommend!

by Larry S. - Verified user on Nov 02, 2020

Couldn't say enough above the facilities and especially the staff. We encountered engine issues on the way,and being fifty miles from our home port..I was lost as to who I could get to come to the marina and diagnose and repair the problem. So,up to the marina office I went to see if they could be of assistance..within two seconds after explaining our dilemma, Sean (hope that's the correct spelling) went over to the wall and pulled out a card and said this is the guy you want to call..he can fix you up. I called,and within an hour and a half the technician was there and diagnosed the issue,and proceed with the repair. If Sean had not taken the initiative, it would not of had the happy ending that it did. Now,about the marina facilities. All new floating fingers with shore power and fresh water. Very wide and accomodating,lots of light with great Security. Swimming pool,freshly rehabbed shower rooms, tv,computer,reading room.All very well done. Conveniently located right next to the River Walk,which is a great stroll along the river. Lots of places to see and eat. So..after reading this would you think I would HIGHLY recommend this place..FIVE STARS doesn't do it justice!!

Trans slips were right by the highway so it was Loud. WiFi only worked at pool. No ice bin for boaters. Instead Ice was $2 A bag when the office was open. Pump out service not offered on Sunday. Kind of expensive for the opportunities listed above.

Marina is under construction. Water was shut off. No mention of either until we were tied up at the slip.

by David B. - Verified user on Dec 16, 2019

Really a very nice place to spend a week. Beautiful secure floating docks, friendly knowledgeable dock staff, new pool, spotless independent restroom/showers (6) in a very nice and friendly town. The town has a beautiful 1.5 mile river walk. Two of our favorite restaurants are O’Bricks on Main and Sage Brisket off 14th. Even on a -1’ minus tide we had 10’ of water all the way to the Marina, including the Marina Docks. 5 Star.

Great stay at Twin Dolphins Marina! Pretty much everything is new. Bathrooms are spacious and clean. Great help with lines upon arrival. Donna in the office was friendly and helpful

With the new floating docks and the upgraded facilities this marina is by far the nicest in the area. The service is great, the amenities are excellent and the location can't be beat. We have lived aboard at Twin Dolphin Marina for 10 years and would highly recommend it to anyone. The River Walk and downtown area are an added bonus!
