Telemar Bay Marina

A Waterway Guide User on January 16th, 2023:

Currently staying as a short term live aboard.

SOLID docks. EASY ACCESS FUEL DOCKS for vessels of almost any size.

GREAT AND SUPER CLEAN BATHROOMS WITH NUCLEAR HOT SHOWERS!

Close to Walmart, restaurants and more. Drive distance to West Marine tolerable.

Very open and roomy. Dolphin pods abound.

Staff is knowledgeable and VERY helpful.

Good cell signal too.

Be Aware that a pump out is $40! Regardless if you buy fuel or not. I believe this to be the most expensive place from Norfolk to Fort Pierce.

A Note from the Marina:

12/22/2022. Price has been reduced to $20.00

Rating is actually 3-1/2. Nice marina, a little aged, but sturdy docks.
Reasonably priced. Close to shopping and a few restaurants that we didn't try.
Staff was semi-helpful when getting us in the slip, but there is a "newbie" dock hand that told the Admiral he was not allowed to tie us off. Her reaction was a torrent of words I won't repeat but justified. Tried to convince him that didn't make sense, but don't think I got through. All we need it to get the boat secured and then I adjust according to tides, wind and waves accordingly. I'm a little anal about what the boat does in the slip (not bouncing off pilings allowed!!) Tough to get tied up by ourselves in calm weather (which is what we had), can't imagine the difficulty if it was windy. Using pilings instead of cleats makes it that much more difficult due to the time it takes to wrap and cinch.
Restrooms/showers are OK (no AC in the ones near our slip), clean and functional. Laundry also OK, just a little aged, also no AC.
However, this is the second time I've been here, and I would not hesitate to come back.
Didn't purchase fuel so no comment there

Very helpful staff on the phone and in person. Clean facilities. Reasonable fuel prices.

Absolutely would recommend this nicely sheltered facility.

Very accommodating as we were looking for a slip that same day since weather was good and we were trying to push further south. Well protected marina which was great because a NE blow was coming. Somewhat sleepy marina but very convenient to grocery and good pizza as well as a Lowes.

Pleasant stay. Very helpful staff and clean bathrooms and showers. Quiet. Very protected docking. Restaurants near marina seemed permanently closed except for a pizza joint that was okay. Very slow fuel pump. It is obvious that the marina is in a transition to be more friendly to transients. When they finish, it should be five stars. I'll go back someday without hesitation.

Location and staff were wonderful. Docks need some work. Had a great stay.

My experience at Telemar Bay was excellent! I was looking for a marina to haul a sailboat I was considering buying and then prepping] fo trailering back to my home 300 miles away. I found their location online and called ahead to outline the service I needed. I spoke at various times with Michele, Nate, and Tom and they were all consistently helpful and flexible. My schedule was uncertain and this was no high - dollar job I needed, but that made no difference to them! I was treated as if I were a long time, high - rolling customer. In the final analysis, I made the trip, bought the boat, they hauled and prepped it, and I was back home safely in minimal time. I cannot imagine getting better service than that which I received from Michele, Nate and Tom.

We read several poor reviews on this marina but they were the only marina in the area that took us in with open arms. No one else had space or seemed to want to deal with us and our 24' beam.
They guided us in and had someone waiting to help tie us up. The docks are fixed but there was no real tide so it was not a problem. We hooked up to the 30amp power which unlike the review above was available to us. There is a Publix less than a mile away and the beach along with other facilities are in walking distance.
The Marina is very well protected and very quiet.
James the Dockmaster was very cool and on several occasions offered us rides. It's a bummer about the pay internet but it was good for us to unplug for a bit anyway and it was available if we needed it!

A great location but the facilities need some upgrades. The dock electrical sockets are all 50 amp only; meaning if you don't have a 50 to 30 adapter, you're out of luck. No WiFi provided. As a transient cruiser, you get the feeling they don't really want our business.
