St. Augustine Municipal Marina

The St. Augustine Municipal Marina sits on the Matanzas River just inside the Bridge of Lions, run by the City of St. Augustine. It takes dockage for vessels up to 200 ft and mooring balls for vessels up to 120 ft, and it services and maintains three mooring fields — San Marco and Menendez either side of the bridge, and Salt Run behind Anastasia Island.

The marina lists a fuel dock, a pump-out boat, a laundry room, boaters shower facilities, free Wi-Fi and a launch service out to the mooring fields.

Contact the marina office on VHF 16 or VHF 71. Boats coming through the Bridge of Lions request an opening on VHF 9. The office is at 111 Avenida Menendez and the number is 904-825-1026.

Daily dockage runs $2.99 per ft for vessels up to 49 ft, charged at a 20 ft minimum, then $3.49 per ft from 50 to 99 ft, $3.99 per ft from 100 to 149 ft and $4.49 per ft from 150 to 200 ft. Catamarans up to 99 ft pay $3.99 per ft.

By the month it is $29.90 per ft for 30 to 49 ft, and $20.00 per ft up to 29 ft, charged at a minimum of 20 ft. An annual rate of $29.90 per ft is offered for vessels up to 49 ft on the South Dock only, and enquiries go onto a wait list. Shorter stops have an hourly rate of $5 per hour for up to 4 hours, first come first served, and a pump-out costs $5 by appointment. Whichever rate applies, the city limits it to a maximum of three months within a six month period.

The city sets three limits on where a boat may lie at anchor here. Not within 100 feet of the mooring field boundaries; not within 50 feet of any other marine structure; and not in the marked channel at all.
