Colin Redy and his staff are fantastic. They communicated with me early about the reservation and he was very helpful during our stay regarding St Mary’s and Amelia Island. We will absolutely use St Mary’s Gateway Marina again.

This review is from the perspective of a local resident of St Marys.
This is a five-star marina for multiple reasons. The docks are new, comfortable, quiet, and secure. The adjacent boaters house has all the perks and amenities that you could wish for. The town is all within a short walk or you can use the loaner bicycles. Live music, great food, Brackish beer is the local brewer, and lots of festivals or markets, or music in the park, or Alive After 5 nights. The cherry on top is the staff. Colin and his team make you feel welcome even before tying up to the dock. Once there you’re greeted and made sure you’re aware of locks happening. They keep the dock and house immaculate. We were on the dock as a “staycation” just enjoying the different vantage point and amenities that our own dock on the North River has. We also enjoyed meeting our fellow boat neighbors on the dock.

Very polite and helpful team here. We love coming into town and grabbing lunch and walking around. It’s very convenient and it works out very well every time.

We have decided that the overnight trip to St Mary's is one of the local hidden treasures - the peace and beauty of the Georgia marshes at sunrise makes your weekend special

Outstanding facility in a small charming town. We stayed two nights. Great communication from the harbor master prior to arrival. He was on the dock waiting for us to help us tie up. Docks are solid Bellingham concrete floating docks. The house with bathrooms, showers, and laundry is a bit of a hike but very well maintained. Laundry is free.
St. Marys is home to a large submarine base and the ferry launch point for Cumberland Island. There's a submarine museum a short walk from the marina. Several good restaurants also within walking distance. Everyone is very friendly. We'll visit again soon.

Very happy we stayed at St Mary’s Intracoastal Gateway Marina. They helped us get on the dock and made sure we had power and gave us a lowdown on the town. The docks were very nice and clean. The town was very clean and very friendly, will stay here again

Great place and good people.

The marina staff were very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. Although a relatively small marina, the facilities suited our needs very well. Free laundry, pumpout and water. It is right in the town of St Marys so there are lots of things to do or you can relax in quiet and enjoy the nature all around you. We will likely return next fall.

Southern hospitality at its finest. Super helpful dock staff, useful information sent when reservation confirmed, free bikes and laundry, and surprise banana bread left on board. Cute town, volunteers to take you places if needed. Will definitely be on our list of places to visit again for a longer stay!

Great spot! Easy on/off

Very well run marina. Excellent communication, even before we arrived. They txted an overhead pic of the marina with our slip outlined, along with tons of info about the city. Docks are very nice and new, floating concrete type. Staff were very friendly and helpful, even gave us a golf cart tour of the city. And the view in the morning was beautiful! Oh, and free laundry. Did I mention they gave us a loaf of banana bread? Only downside is bathrooms and showers are old, but still, kept very clean. Current goes pretty good through there, recommend coming in at slack tide if possible. Overall, definitely recommend this marina.

This is among the most impeccably run marinas I’ve encountered in sailing full time for seven years. Colin is a pro, the setting is idyllic, the locals are kind, altogether perfect.

Colin and Tristin were awesome! The St. Mary’s Marina amenities were very nice, and the town itself was great. Overall, we had a really good experience and would definitely recommend stopping here.
Always love coming here, brought some boat friends too. Highly recommend booking here with Colin.

We had a fantastic stay at St. Marys Intracoastal Gateway Marina. The staff was welcoming, the docks were peaceful and well‑kept, and the whole town was easy to explore on our scooters. We enjoyed a great local restaurant, met two wonderful boating families with children, and even spent time together at Kraken Coffee — a perfect spot with games for the kids and great conversations for the adults. One of the highlights of our stay was the complimentary ride to Publix to pick up a prescription, which made everything incredibly convenient. A charming, friendly stop along the ICW that we’d happily return to. We hope to find other small towns just like St. Mary's along the way on our trip north.

Highly recommend this Marina!

Fantastic marina and really enjoyed the town. Colin and Tristen were fantastic. Colin assisted my girlfriend with getting her transportation to the airport after her brother passed away unexpectedly. Tristen even carried down to my boat a new starter that I had overnighted, and it was heavy. Enjoyed the submarine museum, and great restaurants with some of the most affordable food and drinks I've come across. I will be stopping in again on my way south this Fall.

St. Marys Intracoastal Gateway Marina is simply outstanding! Colin Redy, the Dockmaster, and his team were amazing. Great communication made our arrival effortless. Dockhands Michael and Tristan were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The marina is beautiful, well-kept, and in such a charming town – you can walk everywhere! Big thanks to our friends Tori and Tony on T&T’s Adventure for the recommendation. We wouldn’t pass through this area without stopping again!

Fantastic service from Colin, super clean marina with complimentary laundry, water and pumpout. Super cute little town with tons of history. Several places to grab a meal and shop just steps away from the marina. Don't miss this stop.

Very nice marina that's walking distance to a charming town with the best food we've had so far on this 3-week trip. Highly recommended!
