Banana Bay Resort & Marina

Friendly small marina. Perfect for our short stay. 280 Cobia

Our stay was so enjoyable we extended another month for a total two month stay. Daily rates are high, but the monthly rate is reasonable. Pool, spa were nice and well maintained. Shower and toilet facility is good with plans to improve. Hot water was immediate! The Pointe Bar serving wine and beer is open Thursday through Sunday (more days would be better). Views from the point are incredible including the sunset. Dockmaster is friendly and accommodating when possible. Marina also has BBQ area for mariners. Occasional movie nights and sports game gatherings are held dockside. Fuel is available at nearby Faro Blanco Marina.

Our stay this year was wonderful @ the marina,it was our second time @ Banana Bay, our new dock master Tom is amazing ,like a one man army ,helpful ,courteous ,hard-working ,always with a smile and made lots of improvements, other boaters are also very friendly, looking forward to our next stay.

It's like a small town. Everyone is friendly and helpful.. Dock party. The dockmaster called us to make sure we made it to our next destination when we left in a little bit of weather..

Marina is great. Was nice to have our boat on same property we were staying at. We will be back! Chris is wonderful and very helpful!!

Very nice place and peaceful atmosphere

Our preliminary phone arrangements were handled very efficiently. Once we arrived no one greeted us or assisted us in setting up water, electric, or pointing out facilities. We were on our own and never saw or heard from the dock master or employees. Overall the setting is nice but surroundings are run-down. Bath house requires a code, but for the most part, they’re left open to the elements…lots of disrepair 😬 Over and above all that, here is the biggest downside… There are repeat weekenders partying in a slip at the main entrance of the docks. Pop up shade canopy, chairs, tables etc and very very loud music blaring. No consideration for anyone but their party. You have to walk through their “dock takeover” to exit so no avoiding the scene. It was extremely uncomfortable and cringy having to walk through the area. Other reviews have mentioned this and it appears management does not give flying f@%k about it. What could have been a true authentic keys experience was thoroughly ruined by the party goers discourtesy and managements lack of concern.

Easy to launch the boat. Dock-master Chris was a great help. See you next year.

Visit to Banana Bay Marina was excellent. Had slip 10 which is great as we own unit A202 at MKBC Hope we can secure either slip 10 or 12 next year when we make reservation. Dock Master, Chris was instrumental in arranging slip 10 which is really appreciated. Would like to see Banana Bay extend ramp so I could launch my boat and not have to pay $25. each time to launch and retrieve at the public marina. Water was murky due to tropical storm Debby, but still had a good time.

The reservation was smooth from check-in to check-out including the marina, looking forward to many more!

Easy, friendly service.

Docks are nice Easy access it out of the channel

Our 12th year in a row keeping our boat there. Quiet, protective area with everything you may need.

The few long term boats in the marina has a crowd from Miami that comes down all weekend. They setup all over the docks and blast music. It is sad that 2 or 3 slips manage to disrupt the entire place. I do not think that the slip rental should entitle people to setup 10x10 shade tents and propane cookers on the dock.

Wonderful, well protected marina. Doris and Chris are awesome. Never had any issues with the ramp, yes it is tight but very doable. Look forward to going back next spring.

Always an easy process.

The marina has been well maintained, the docks and hardware are in excellent condition. moat importantly the Harbormaster is very knowledgeable. hands on and accommodating, Did not use any of the other facilities, went strictly for the harbor and it was just what I needed,

Hotel was a bad experience, marina was excellent like other times, we had everything we needed

Staff was very helpful

Multiple calls to Marina via vhf and telephone went unanswered. Marina staff confronted us and asked why we were there. Despite have Dockwa confirmation we were told they had no reservation.

Excellent resort and marina Staff are very helpful from the front desk to dock master. I towed my 26ft sailboat there and launched at their ramp and stayed two nights while rigging and getting ready to explore the keys. Ramp is a little tricky to line up on, but got launched fine. Pool is large and warm, they make a lot of effort to offer a nice place. Elect and water is included in dock fee.

Easy access to the marina from the bay, friendly staff and clean facilities. If you are trailering a boat to the hotel’s marina be aware that their ramp access in the parking lot is pretty tight to cut the trailer while backing in, even for a shorter boat. Also, not a very long ramp for your trailer if your boat is larger than 20’ you may have issues at other than high tide.

There was grass all over the ramp to launch and load the boat. When loading the boat, we had to rake our own grass out of the way so it wouldn’t get stuck between the trailer and the boat and stain the boat. We were supposed to receive 2 bags of ice every day but no one was ever down to work the dock and no one said anything about getting it at checkin so we never got it. It’s November so technically season so not sure why no one was there to assist in the marina. Otherwise the place itself was nice and quiet.

Doris the dock master is wonderful. Had a great time staying here. Hidden little marina in the middle of marathon. Would stay again.

Nice marina and great dock master. Showers need attention
