Huckins Boat Yard lies along the northern shores of the mouth of the Ortega River, just upstream of the Roosevelt Boulevard Bridge.

I wanted to share with the group what a great experience I had with the Huckins Boat Yard up the Ortega River here in Jacksonville, FL! The staff & management were easy to work with, the price was guaranteed, and everybody went out of their way to help you when you needed something! After calling many boat yards between Jacksonville & Port Canaveral about getting our bottom painted we found that Huckins was between 30% & 45% less expensive than any other marina we called. For boats under 44′ the flat price is $27 per foot, for boats 45 to 50 feet the price is $30 per foot. For that price you get:
* To live aboard your boat while they do the bottom job at no additional charge, must have holding tank
* Price includes: haul out, power wash, blocking, sanding, painting, put in. The price even includes shaft-zincs!
* We were hauled on Tuesday morning and were ready to be back in the water on Friday
* They have scaffolding & planks if you want to wax your boat while on the hard
* Courtesy Car
* Publix, West Marine, CVS, and Restaurants all within an easy walk
This is not a marine with all the bells & whistles, it’s a working boat yard that does quality work. They have a great parts department. woodworking shop, paint & fiberglass team, and engine mechanics. I have no interest in the company but highly recommend them to fellow boaters! It was easily worth our time & money to cruise the extra 22 miles up the St John’s River, and enjoy the free dock at the City Landing for a few days before getting hauled! Call Paul Rogers at Huckins @ 904-389-1125 for more info, tell him Life’s2Short sent you!
