Destin Marina - Destin, Florida

Where do I even start?!

This place is a freaking gem and if I lived anywhere close to this Marina, I'd be there every single chance I'd get.

The owner, Chris, is a genuine guy that's passionate about his little slice of paradise. It's been in his family for 50+ years and that's definitely something to be proud of. He allowed me to drop my kayak into his marina, gave me a lot of great pointers, and also even helped me get my stuff loaded into the back of my truck once I was done for the day! Not to mention the fact that he supplied the bait for the single best day of fishing that I've ever experienced while out on my yak! And he may or may not have pointed me in the direction of some killer fishing too!😆 One stop shop, for sure!

Chris' help around the marina is second to none as well! Bryce, Ewan, and Christina were all a great help! From helping me load my yak into the water, pointing me in the direction of a specific species of fish, and also helping me fillet some fish up after getting back from one of my outings. Honorable mention goes to Silas, the next Generation, that was running around the place like he had owned it already! 💪😎

All in all, this place is incredible, and if you're looking for a place to drop in, grab some bait, or some tackle, a case of cold ones, or all of the above, do yourself a favor and consider Destin Marina!

Can't wait to stop back! Thanks again for all the love, everyone!

Beautiful but not very welcoming. I guess the city is focused on building more hotels because the only formerly public beach on Noriega Point was closed for construction. Or maybe not?! But who would know for sure because there was NO SIGNAGE! 🪧 🏖️ No land markers, no parking signs, no beach access signs - nothing! I don't care if it's my first time in place, I still want to double-007 my way in and out. Google maps was very little help. It was like entering a dead zone and there was signal, just no info. Almost not worth the frustration, but we lucked out with a paid lot near the Marina. Enjoy the view, but try to forget the journey.
👍If helpful, thanks! 🙏

We went to enjoy a weekend with friends and wanted to utilize the ramp for our boat. Not aware that no one was working as we called the number and it went straight to voice mail. When we tried to put our boat on the trailer the ramp was so bad it scratched our trailer. The left side of the ramp was so slanted that it was more than half a tire deeper than the other. Would not recommend for boats and should be better quality for 30 dollars.

Absolutely awesome experience. We are not boat experts and the first day we came in the winds and waves were rough. The dock attendees were so helpful and cared about our baoting experience. They walked the boat off the trailer for us and they tied us to the dock. It is only 20.00 to park and launch and to leave your trailer for the day. We came back everyday. They are directly across from Crab Island. I highly recommend coming to Destin Marina when you come to Destin.

Some of the BEST fights and arrests I have ever seen have happened on this dock. 5/5 stars

Found this ramp after leaving another that was too overcrowded. Only issue was reading other comments we thought it was going to be $10 to launch but we were charged $25

Wild fights, and some wild nights here. Never seen so many of God's creation in one place.

The staff was professional and friendly. It was my first time docking my two new jet skis, one of the young men assisted me throughout the whole process. I am truly greatful, he was very helpful. I will definitely be using this company again for my next trip to Crab Island.
