    Easy entrance if you are a bit careful. We stirred some mud but that's all. Reasonable diesel prices although the service is a bit casual - eventually everything worked out. Best sunsets we have seen in Florida. Nice "old Florida" facility.

    We stopped here for fuel but became weathered in for several days. Shared the fuel dock with other boats all unable to leave because of rain and wind. The owner closed the fuel dock to accommodate us which we considered most helpful. All staff and the owner went out of their way to make our stay a good one.
    Easy walk to town. Restaurant on the property. Showers outstanding. Didn't need groceries so not sure about distance - probably beyond a walk however there is a convenience store across the street and economical bus service close at hand.
    Lots of depth for us - 9 feet or so in the entrance channel just off slack tide.
    Reasonable rates. Recommended.

    Great marina. Well maintained and constantly updated. Boaters have been friendly and helpful.
    Showers are older but clean and well maintained. As mentioned before Sanford has many activities through the year - an easy walk from the marina. Lots of depth (8 feet at this writing) for our 4.5 ft draft. Wifi can be weak but is useable. Highly recommended as a destination.

    A working marina with a very large storage building. Dock crew had other responsibilities but everyone took the time to help us. Close to grocery shopping and West Marine. Showers well maintained and recently renovated. Channel with about 7 feet around slack tide. Fuel dock easy access. Recommended.

    A small helpful facility. Fuel dock channel is narrow but manageable. Everyone helpful and rates were good. Nice spot to stop going up river from the Intracoastal. I would recommend the facility.

    A quaint old Florida marina. Easy approach from the end of the wide spots in the St John's. 9+ depths. Everyone helpful. Showers are dated but clean with lots of hot water. We ate aboard but there are restaurants within walking distance. Not many spots for larger boats but the T finger probably could accommodate two.
    I would not hesitate to recommend this facility.

    Busy when we visited (11/11/2019) so there was little time for anyone to brief us about the marina. The dock hands were quick, prepared and helpful. Depending on the tides coming and going can be challenging, so caution could be very appropriate.
