St Marys Intracoastal Gateway Marina

A Waterway Guide User on May 10th, 2026:

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!

Great little town! The concrete floating docks were great. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We saw what appeared to be a rendering of a marina building, but didn't notice any details or timeline. Good restaurants & some local shops in walking distance. Additionally, there is a National Parks office, and a ferry to Cumberland Island.

Always a great stop for us. This marina has sturdy floating concrete docks with water and power. Colin and his team always provide us with great service and the local knowledge to make a visit enjoyable. I highly recommend checking out this historic town.

Great experience!

Tristan and Colin made our stay very comfortable and we will be back for sure!

Great marina with super friendly staff. Restrooms are actually a house with two full bathrooms, lounge area and free laundry in the garage. The town is beautiful and has nice restaurants. The marina gives you a free ride to the grocery store nearby.

It was a last-minute decision to visit St Marys and we are SOOO glad we did! The town is beautiful, people very gracious and welcoming. The marina is nice and very well run with knowledgeable dockhands. It's city-owned and a unique setting. Dockmaster took us on a golf cart tour of the area. Plenty of great restaurants a short walk away. Easy in and out of marina on a face dock. Just a short distance off ICW. I will definitely be back!

I stayed here for 2 weeks and could not have been happier. Great town within walking distance but marina has free bicycles. The staff are friendly and helpful. The docks are new and very nice. Free electricity, water and laundry.

We would come back. nice floating docks and extremely dog friendly marina and town. Staff person Bob gives a great golf cart tour of town. Marina office is at the ranch style home across the open yard/park. Free laundry machines and courtesy bikes available even after hours. Lounge with huge TV is in what would have been the living room. Two full bathrooms. Harbor host Karen available during day to drive for provisioning.

This is a small, but mighty Marina. Their promptness, information of the city and hospitality were outstanding. First off, before even getting to the marina, they sent us a picture of where our slip was at the dock and also provided us with information about the town and surrounding area. Tristan and Conner couldn't have been nicer. This town is great. They have a couple of museums and one of the best city parks that we have seen while doing the loop. There is a good choice of restaurants also! We will definitely return to this Marina.

A very pleasant stop in a town that continues to improve. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. New, very clean floating docks. Great help with docking and proactive with arrival, and they helped us with untying in the morning. Facilities are quite a long way from the docks. A great tour of the town by golf cart. We really wanted to give this 5 stars because of the superhelpful dockmaster and dockhand but the security gate has not been repaired since the freeze in January and the pump out is not working. Great views and sunsets over the river and waterfront. Highly recommended detour off the ICW.

We had a great stay at St. Marys Intracoastal Gateway Marina (7 nights). As mentioned, the staff are helpful and friendly. The two electrical pedestals farthest from the dock head of the dock are the ones having issues with 50 Amp power. The rest of the pedestals worked fine. Floating docks that are fairly new and are quite wide. Several very good restaurants in town.

A Waterway Guide User on April 9th, 2025:

Easy in and out - Cumberland sound can be chopping in windy weather. Docking on the N-S portion of the dock can be a bit of a challenge when the wind and tide are working together. Dock hands are knowledgeable and assisted in landing. Local Yacht Club members and marina staff can provide short distance transportation for resupply trips. Cabs and Ride share options are very limited - so longer trips are a bit more challenging

Pete on April 4th, 2025:

St Marys Intercoastal Marina was excellent. Collin and Bob were very helpful and friendly. When we arrived they took us on a golf cart ride around St Marys (which is a lovely town) and pointed out the things to see and places to eat. Our only complaint is the power pedastels are having a GFCI issue that causes them to trip easily.

A Waterway Guide User on March 17th, 2025:

This was such a great stop. Collin, Bob and Tristan are so helpful. Upon arrival Bob and Collin were at the dock waiting for us. The winds were at 18kts right before slack. We were thankful for the extra help. Bob immediately took us on a quick free tour of the downtown area and added in some local history. The restaurants were great and a happy hour at one of them with $1.75 beers. The marina office is a house with facilities, showers, laundry, bikes and all at no cost. The local yacht club members will run you to Walmart for provisions if needed as a courtesy, but a tip is customary. Also, the marina will send out messages daily letting you know what activities are happening in town. We will be back to this marina.

The wife and I were planning on staying two nights but with some weather rolling in we ended up staying for a week. Colin, Bob and Tristan are the absolute best, they go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great stay. The local yacht club also gave me a ride to the Publix so we could get stocked up on groceries. This is a place we will go out of our way to stay again.

Awesome staff. Well organized, well built marina. Walking distance to cute little town with a lot of history. Worth the visit! We stayed for one night, but wished we have time to stay longer. Guys at the marina were super friendly and helpful. Provided all information, offered help, free bikes, tour of the town. Unmatched hospitality!!! Thank you!

Awesome staff. Very friendly and helpful. Loved the town. Went to Cumberland Island on ferry and it was magical. Great food and pizza. :)

Mark on January 22nd, 2025:

Great people and an awesome town. All amenities, just a little walk. Floating docks and deep water. A definite must stop.

Joe on January 18th, 2025:

The dock master took my wife and I for a tour of the town on the city golf cart. This is a place I will return for another visit, it is charming. Good restaurants near by and the docks are in excellent conditions. Five plus stars!

Wonderful town, super friendly people! Nice quiet stop a short way off the ICW. Came for one night, but ended up staying for three because it was so pleasant.

A Waterway Guide User on December 9th, 2024:

The BEST marina we have ever been to!! Great new floating docks, pumpout at your boat. Easy in and out with deep water. The town of St. Marys looks like a Disney movie set. We expected a Hallmark Christmas movie to be filming at any time lol. Great owner who is making this place great.

Hidden gem! Quiet and serene. Deep water. No bridges. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at St. Mary's Intracoastal Gateway Marina. It's a small city-run marina with brand new floating concrete dock, well lighted, with security gate. They have loaner bikes that look new and are garage kept (not the usual rust buckets with torn seats). You can rent a golf cart on premises. Since we always use our on-board facilities, didn't check the baths, but heard they're nice. Free washers/dryers! They also have a comfy captains lounge. Unfortunately, the weather was off/on rain for days so we didn't take advantage of the nice bikes. Very pet friendly with over 2 acres of mowed lawn and disposal bags adjacent to the bulkhead, so only a short walk. Bob and Collin went above and beyond to get us docked, set up and feel welcome. I even got a text message saying "Hey, i have a golf cart available today if you want to borrow it." In fact, we used it twice at no charge! They were always checking in to be sure our power was on and everything was OK as they'd had some lightening strike damage. We had no issues with our 50amp pedestal. We took the cart into the city for dinner on a Monday and The Firefly, a taco restaurant was open. Food was way better than i expected. Very creative and you could order mix/match tacos to try out the different options. Full menu and bar. Drinks were excellent, too. It exceeded expectations, for sure, and our waitress was wonderful. Even though it was mid 80's, we were comfortable on the large covered patio with it's overhead fans. I think this restaurant is fairly new, as it looks it. St. Mary's is a lovely historic town and worth a visit. The marina is small, pretty much a long double-sided T-head, but there were only two of us tied up there during our stay. Be sure to make reservations as space is limited. In the past we've stayed at Oasis Marina when in Fernandina, area but decided to venture out and try St. Mary's. You won't be disappointed. TOP NOTCH service and facility. Highly recommend. OH, and the slip fee INCLUDED the power and a free pump-out. You can't ask for more, folks.

Very impressed, very clean, and they met us at the dock

Shannon on July 28th, 2024:

We loved visiting this marina and town. The staff are super - great communication with us on the day of arrival, very helpful with catching lines, providing info on things to do/eat, a tour of the town on their golf cart, and more. Great location for dogs too. The location is amazing (no factories next door). We missed out on the great bread we heard about, but the Farm to Market store in town has great items (including several varieties of bread). At the dock we couldn't pull the full amount of power we usually do or it would trip the pedestal breaker, but the dock is brand new and they are working on getting it right. We had enough for some air conditioning, so it wasn't a big problem. They have bikes to use for free, laundry, and lounge. We wish the golf carts were free like they are at Jekyll Island marina, but it is very convenient to be able to rent them at the marina. Thanks Colin and Bob for being great marina hosts! We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

Saint Marys is a great place.

Bob did excellent job of making us feel welcome. Even got a tour of the town.

Paul on May 30th, 2024:

Bob stayed when we called to say we were running late. Got in after 6 and he was there to help us tie up. He and Colin both are very welcoming. The docks are great and right downtown. Had a good meal at a restaurant 5 minute walk. All in all fantastic experience. We'll be back to be sure!

John on May 30th, 2024:

First class docks and staff. The town of St. Mary's is like Maryland's eastern shore towns..but without the overcrowding.

Superb docks, excellent staff and a beautiful town!

Bill on May 21st, 2024:

Small Marina, but docks were new, clean, and well managed. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Restaurants were plentiful and the food was excellent. We will be back.

Lorin on May 19th, 2024:

Wonderful hospitality! Looking forward to the new facility down the road!

John on May 5th, 2024:

We had St. Mary’s on our go to list for quite some time and now we have an outstanding new deep water marina (October 2023) with an impeccable dockmaster. Colin met us and gave a golf cart tour of the town. The marina has a house on property that offers bathrooms, laundry, coffee service and a TV lounge as well as bikes. Several nice restaurants are in walking distance along the waterfront. If you extend your visit, you can take a day trip to Cumberland Island on the ferry.
