Good Words for St. Petersburg Municipal Marina, Tampa Bay
What a good description of one of the finest municipal marinas I have ever reviewed in my many years of cruising guide authorship. As Skipper David notes on Cruisers Forum, this SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR is a great liveaboard marina located on the western shore of Tampa Bay in downtown St. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg Municipal Marina is great for liveaboards. It would be a 30-45 minute drive to downtown Tampa, depending on the time of day. The facilities are very good including laundry, showers, and a captains lounge. Vinoy Park and the Pier are on the same property. Downtown St. Pete is just across the street. There are resturants, clubs, gyms, banking, groceries, and parks within walking distance.
I pay $505 for a liveaboard slip for boats under 34′. Larger slips are about $100 more up to 45 feet, I believe.
Good Luck,
David
Last time I checked there was a several year long waiting list to get a liveaboard slip. Has this changed?

A phone call to St. Pete Municipal gave these waiting list results:
“A” Slips, 44-55ft, 6-8 months wait
“B” Slips, 34-44ft, 8-10 months wait
We enjoyed St Pete municipal a few years ago. Lots of walkable places of interest to visit .

We are currently enjoying a weekend at St Pete Municipal with the Tampa Bay MTOA. 2 years ago we visited most of the local marinas looking for a place to spend the summer. There are a number of options but no other marina has the walk – to attractions as does St Pete.
