I cannot recommend this marina enough. Cleave and his team helped me in every aspect both mechanically and with patience. My hub on a boat trailer came off 17 miles from the marina. Shawn helped me locate a trailer company who promptly arrived and I was able to limp the trailer to the marina. Then Cleave helped me locate a lower unit for my 99 Evinrude 115. Furthermore, his mechanic team was fast and efficient. Lastly, I had to ditch the boat trailer. Cleave was very helpful in saving me a 7hr round trip plus gas. He was able to remove the trailer for me. The boat slip had a big drop off, so that is the only negative from this place. Thanks again for everything, Cleave and Shield Marina Team.

Great STAFF! Everyone we interact with, from the store to the marina and docks to the service department is professional and pleasant. We have our boat dry docked and love the arrangement. Restrooms are spotless and well stocked. The ships store has plenty of what you need and a lot of what you want. Anytime we want to travel overland with our boat, they have gotten our boat and trailer ready for us. I love that many Shields live right at the Marina. The area always feels safe and secure. As long as we have a boat, we will keep it at Shields! read more

The owner helped me and one of his customers with an outboard purchase. He was very patient answering my questions. I don't think they were even open but he took time to help us with everything. Seemed like a great guy. read more

We have truly been enjoying Shields Marina since we became customers of their's with a wet covered boat slip just a month ago. I can't tell you how relaxing it is not to play boat launch roulette each time we want to go in the beautiful Saint Marks River or nearby bay. They have ice and gas facilities and a very well-stocked shop full of everything from sun protection clothing two headache pills. I like the fact that they're open until 7 PM as well. The staff is very friendly and committed to keeping the place will run and clean. read more

Rented a pontoon boat for the day. Really enjoyed taking the boat out to the gulf and anchoring at the sandbar for a few hours. The boat has 5 seats and any additional passengers will be given lawn chairs. The boats have no radios so bring your own if you want music. A whole day of boat rental plus gas out to the sandbar and back was $235. read more

Great marina, I've had my old boat dry slipped for years, and now have my new boat wet slipped. Love the marina, ship store is awesome, and the staff is great! Their service department did an excellent job on my boat restoration and outboard installation as well read more

Do not rent a boat from this marina. Not worth it! These rentals barely float. There aren't enough seats to fit the number of people who are on the boat (they put 2 beat up tailgate chairs to make up for it). The 2-stroke motor leaks oil into the water! - I get that 2-stroke motors do that, but they can replace the motors they use on their boats. NONE of the electronics work - no depth finder, gas gauge, or radio. If you're offering beat up, crappy boats, don't keep raising your prices. TERRIBLE marina. They don't deserve your money. read more

My family has been shopping with Sheilds Marina for over a decade. The staff couldn't be more helpful and their rates are very reasonable. I highly recommend them. read more
