The Owner Mike met us at the dock on a Sunday afternoon. He seems to save some easy in and out slips for transients. Power, water, free pump out. No fuels. Clean en-suite bath showers. Single washer, dryer inoperative April 2025. Several restaurants within easy walk but no close groceries. Snug little harbor area.

We really enjoyed our two night stay here. Mike (the owner) is great, and personally sees to it, that you are squared away with everything you need. The village of Eau Gallie is a two or three block walk away from the basin, with great eating options, and looking around. If I were through this way again, I would definitely stop again.

What a gem! This marina is a wonderful place to stop for the night or spend a month or two. Their two unisex shower/bathrooms are cleaned every morning. They regularly receive deliveries from Amazon, UPS, FedEx, and USPS. The fire pit is a favorite hangout in the evening. Every Wednesday night a pot luck supper is organized. Mike, the owner, and Dave, the head dockhand do their best to find room for another boat. The Eau Galley Arts district, with a Kava bar, Irish Pub, Squid Lips, and a brewery are within walking distance. Lastly, there are pump out connections between every other slip. Grab the hose and fittings and you can take care of business by yourself. The marina benefits by housing Karen's canvas shop. Karen can repair biminis or design entire enclosures. Her prices are very reasonable as well. Lastly, we have seen multiple rocket launches during our stay at Eau Galley. Give this great place a try. You may not want to leave.

1 13 2025 all the previous reviews are spot on. Friendly and warm place to visit. Fixed docks but little tide here if any. Tight quarters for docking. Good TV reception on our TV antenna. Clean facilities. Mike is friendly and helpful. Just a nice cozy place to visit. Town is short walk with bars and restaurants to visit. Ace hardware a few blocks. We hope to return soon.

A hidden gem for sure! Old Florida style marina with friendly staff, good depth and excellent wind protection. We stayed 3 nights. Nice facilities including clean bathrooms, showers, lounge, and very pet friendly. Easy walk to shops & restaurants. Entry a little snug but doable even for our 47' with 25' beam. Highly recommend! Excellent canvas shop on site!

Stayed one night in quaint Eau Gallie. The marina staff was very nice and the facilities were clean. The yacht basin was well protected and plenty of depth to get into. It was a short walk to several eateries and a pub. Will stay there again.

Small marina. Quiet and well protected.
It's a tight fit for larger boats, but Mike and Pedro helped us dock without an issue.
Side tie concrete fixed dock. There are 2 toilet / shower combos. A nice friendly local community. Walking distance to Ace Hardware and Intracoastal Brewery and other restaurants. Publix is 2 miles away over the bridge.

Stayed here 4 nights and enjoyed the Marina and area. Confirmed they do not monitor VHF, and there is no fuel so plan accordingly. Older fixed docks but safe and stable. No discernible tide change while we were there. Somewhat tight for transients on the wall but not horrible. If you're an art lover this is the place for you . Easily a dozen art studios within walking distance. Eau Gallie is a fun town with lots of personality. Very pretty lagoon setting. The restaurant Frigates is close by bike or dingy with great food.

Nice marina, sheltered with very little tide change. I got assistance docking (and leaving) and I needed it -- they put me in a slip up against a concrete bulkhead that left me very little space to maneuver on the way in or out. I was disappointed to be in the shadow of a large building next to an active parking lot and not near any other transients. (I later discovered that someone I knew from social media was at the same marina that night and I didn't even meet her!) Be sure to call on the phone on your way in; they do not monitor the radio. Very pet friendly. Walking distance from a nice little town with shops, art galleries, restaurants, and a bakery. Quiet overnight. Clean restrooms, nice lounge, friendly, fair price. A good marina stop.

First time here we were transit. Planned on 3 days and stayed a month. I installed my solar panel system. We had a wonderful time here. That was 4 years ago. Last fall we lost our slip at NAS Key West. Being we were in Stuart Florida we took a drive up to Eau Gallie. We now have a permanent slip there. The social life and friendships can not be surpassed. Management is great. Everyone is helpful. On the down side some slips are pretty shallow and I'm paying 2X more than the Navy marina in Key West. Oh well this is still a good deal and we are very happy there. Highly recommended.

Truly one of the best stops along the ICW.
Spent a week in this very well protected, friendly and laid back marina.

One of the best stops along the AICW! Staff and fellow boaters friendly and accommodating. We stopped here to ride out TS ETa and Eau Gallie is a perfect place to ride out heavy weather. I will definitely stay here again!

Albeit a bit basic and difficult to contact, with only 2 transient slips, I am glad I stopped here. It is absolutely worth the stop. Easy walk to town and a 5 minute Uber to Melbourne. If you can reach the dock master, this is a quiet, laid back marina

Fantastic marina with calm water. Restrooms were spacious and clean with plenty of hot water.
The owners father was watching over the place and couldn't have been more helpfull.
There are a couple of great bars and a hardware store a 5 min walk from the marina.
