This is about the Marina Jack 2 sunset cruise. A group of us took this two hour cruise around…read moreSarasota Bay from 5 PM to 7 PM. We travelled South to Siesta Key before heading back North under the Ringling bridge. The ship is large with 2 decks and dinner was provided; salad, au gratin potatoes, vegetables, salmon , bread and prime rib were served. Desserts were an assortment of cakes (chocolate, key lime, and strawberry). Given how beautiful the evening turned out, the scenery was revealing- beautiful homes, unfortunately Some destroyed by Helene and Milton- some being restored. Overall, a worthwhile experience that will be repeated. Full bar offered as well.

My wife's grouper sandwich was raw. Waited for another and also raw. So she sent it back and didn't eat. I ordered salmon sliders. They forgot my order? Had to wait quite awhile. Our friends received wrong order. They had to bring the correct one. The manager came and we explained the issues. His response was we have a big party inside. Not our problem! 3 of 4 orders wrong! He said what do you want me to do? He should have said I will comp your meals. Just a horrible manager. Felt bad for waitress.

Loved the atmosphere. They had a good band playing. If you're looking for romantic, you won't find it with the loud music. The others in my group went with beer but I decided to try the Hawaiian. It sounded good, looked pretty, but had no discernible flavor. It almost seemed like they put a splash of Hawaiian Punch in seltzer water. For starters we shared the Calamari. The breading was good and crunchy. The Calamari had a nice taste but was very chewy. We also shared the Coconut Shrimp. The shrimp was cooked perfectly & the coconut breading was delicious. The dip was delicious, had a nice bite to it & perfectly complemented the shrimp. For our meals I had the Crab Cake Sandwich with a side of Coleslaw. The coleslaw was mushy but had a good flavor. The Crab Cake was mostly filler. It did have a nice flavor, but I prefer more crab meat to filler ratio. DH had the Blackened Grouper Tacos. He said it was just ok. The highlight of his meal were the delicious fries that he got with cheese & bacon on them. Our friends had the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos & the Surf & Turf Tacos with a side of fries. They were not impressed with their meals. They said they wouldn't get them again. Will we be back? Nope.

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!

This was a nice marina with great facilities Be warned…read morethere is a pretty strong current in and around the marina and the marina is pretty tight so know how to handle your boat before you go it. I would not recommend this marina if you are not confident is your handling skills. The Marina itself is very nice with lots of amenities. They have multiple large, clean, bathroom/showers. They have laundry service and a business center but I did not make use of those. A nice pool that I made use of while there and a little marina store that sells ice and such. The staff were helpful and nice when I interacted with them. There are a lot of fun restaurants within a short walk of the boats.
