Not fancy but at $1 per foot the price was right. Clean bathrooms and showers. Friendly staff. Narrow entrance, but not a long one.

I was super stoked to spend Birthday weekend at Astor Bridge Marina this weekend. Unfortunately the hurricane headed our way had different plans. So assuming with a hurricane coming cancelling my reservations wouldn't be a problem that's what I did. I spoke to Julie an she said no problem, she never said anything about a cancellation fee. Keep in mind my mom cancelled her room the day before. We were making plans to reschedule, but my mother woke up this morning to find $100 charge to her account from Astor Bridge Marina. How disappointing and what a poor way to do business. There is a hurricane coming u think they would be understanding.

Unless you name them a co insured on your insurance, and fax it to them, you have to dock outside the marina, which is not a good spot if you are a boat over 25 ft. Plus, inside is $2 a foot, not the $1 as advertised.
Inside slips are nice, good power, but way overpriced for the area.
