Despite other boaters who are supposedly "grandfathered in", and any "wink-wink" agreement, this is…read moreNOT a liveaboard marina. The overall marina is very run down and in shambles, and not likely to be repaired soon since it is in the middle of a sale. Many of the dock were torn apart during a late season storm, which wasn't even close to a hurricane. They only have one gentleman who repairs the docks, and he is overwhelmed with too many repairs to make. The bathrooms are dingy and run down, and the associated restaurant closes at 9 p.m., so you can't even go and watch a game there. The food is overpriced, and happy hour is not very happy! George, the assistant dockmaster (and manager in the restaurant - watch out!), is a complete A-hole and has no business dealing with the public. When the dockmaster, Harley, is off on Mondays and Tuesdays, he harasses and threatens the tenants and acts like he's God, making all the decisions to kick out those people whom he dislikes. Harley is a likeable fellow, but leaves at 2 p.m. and isn't readily available. The guy who is really in charge of it all - supposedly - is COO Joe Rogers, who refuses to meet with the public although he's the one calling the shots above Harley. If the man makes a decision that affects me, I want the opportunity to schedule a meeting and talk to him about it! This is a huge property, and despite them having ample parking with three lots, they are extremely picky about who parks where, and hate having golf carts, scooters, and more than one car per boat. Considering that this is directly across the Cortez Bridge from Anna Maria Island - which is absolutely overrun with golf carts, scooters, slingshots, etc. (they rent them everywhere) - it's absolutely INSANE that they have a problem with this! This marina is absolutely not friendly to boaters of any type, for any length of time, and I'd definitely advise against. If I had the $10 million myself, and the estimated $3 million that needs to be put into repairs and upgrades, I'd buy it myself and turn it into the gem of the island! There are houses and a bunch of property associated with it, so if there are any prospectors out there, it's a great deal at $10 million! Come save us!

Also tried the fish dip which was good, a spinach salad and clam chowder which was excellent!

On Christmas Day, I headed to Bradenton Beach Pier, basking in the sunshine and breathing in that salty air. The best part was there was hardly any crowds. So parking was easy, stress was nonexistent, and peace and tranquillity were the vibes. The real locals were out in full force, the egrets, and other local birds were checking out the people strolling the pier or fishing. Not much was open because it was Christmas, I'm not added to the charm. It felt peaceful, unhurried, and exactly how I wanted my holiday to be. Spending Christmas here during the off-season was a five star reminder that sometimes quiet is the best gift.

I've been on a lot of fishing charters and this trip was the best by far. Next time we go to Anna Maria there is no question we will be hitting up Aaron for a trip or two, you should too!

Captain Donna Carrie General Manager…read moreSafe Harbor Pier 77 12312 Manatee Ave West Bradenton, Fl. 34209 My husband signed a contract with your company in September with a commencement date of October 1. Hurricane Helene arrived to the area 9/26. We made a phone call just prior to the hurricane to ask about access and were advised not to bring our boat as planned on 10/1 as a hurricane was expected, and we would be informed by email when we could access the facilities. The hurricane impacted your marina and access to the Space was prohibited. On 10/10 Hurricane Milton arrived. On 10/19 we visited your marina to see if we could bring in our boat. Maggie's referenced emails we had not received saying the marina was not open. Checked email address and it was correct but, apparently not added to someone's list, so she said she would add it and we would be notified when to bring our boat. 10/24 another visit to marina to ask when it would be open as we had heard nothing. Maggie said it opened yesterday 10/23. Again, no notification of this fact was communicated to us. We asked for consideration for the loss of the first month on our contract because we weren't allowed access. We were referred to Michael Blake who was not in that day. 10/26 another visit to marina. We asked for our contract to begin then on Nov. 1st. as our boat did not have access. This request was denied by Michael Blake. He said the "higher ups" denied our request for some kind of consideration for time we were unable to access the Space. Your contract provides relief in the paragraph 1. License., wherein it states "If Safe Harbor is unable to deliver the Space within 10 days after Commencement Date, Member may terminate this agreement by written notice delivered to Safe Harbor prior to delivery of the space. Also, under Term. Contract states "the "Term" begins on the earlier of the Commencement Date or the date that the member is permitted to occupy the space..." and since you were closed to us on the Commencement date, and we were not permitted to occupy the space until 10/23, our position is that that is when the term begins on this contract. After stating the above items to Mike he still stated that they would not move the start date. I then stated I would take all of them to small claims court for one months rent. Mike, Maggie, the higher ups as well. Please let me know if you plan to honor your contract and we will bring our boat over on Nov. 1st. as first day of the 6 month term. Thanks for your consideration. Sincerely, Edward Dodge On Oct 30 th we contacted the office to see if we could bring our boat in We were told by Maggie that's a Mike question and they would get back to us in a few hours. 5 hrs later we called and put on speaker phone with business manager and all the office staff, we were told they wanted to terminate the contract and refund us all our monies. We accepted this and the monies were returned to us C: Safe Harbor Corporate Office 14785 Preston Rd #975 Dallas, TX 75254 Michael Blake Dockmaster Safe Harbor Pier 77 12312 Manatee Avenue Bradenton.
