We were docked near a large dinner cruise vessel which created a lot of pedestrian traffic on the dock. Our slip was very exposed to wind and waves. Dock staff were green and marginally helpful. Upon paying in the dock office the staff told us nothing even failing to provide gate code info but they were happy to collect the high price per foot. They seem to cater to much larger vessels and people who value the retail and restaurants nearby. Did not feel like a Looper marina to me.

This is a first class facility for our 60' with 5' draft. Easy access for fuel and pump out. On site restaurants and many other amenities I wasn't able to take advantage on a one night visit. Coming from the inland rivers there really hasn't been high caliber facilities. This is a refreshing change.

Beautiful marina with full service. Great restaurants, easy to refuel with both diesel or gas. Lots of help on the docks.

Just spent a week there for the holidays. Great staff gave us a "looper" discount. As a part of the Sandestin Resort community , it had all the amenities (restaurants, movies, groceries, bikes, etc.). Did watch one boat that got too far away from dock run aground. Stay in the markers and you should be fine.
