Bud n’ Mary’s Fishing Marina has a limited amount of transient (short term) boat dockage. We have direct ocean access for boats with a maximum of a 4.5 foot draft and up to 45′ in length. Our channel is fairly narrow, with a rock jetty on the north east side of it, and a “flat” on the southwest side of the channel. You need to pay very close attention when navigating the channel because there is hard bottom on both sides! There is also direct access to the Florida Bay by way of Tea Table Relief bridge for skiffs, small center counsels, and bay boats. There’s an average clearance of 6′ – 8′ under the bridge, but on extreme high tides there is 5.5′ of clearance under the bridge. Less than 2 miles south is Indian Key Bridge which has over 20′ of clearance.
Our short term in-water rates run $5.00 per foot, per night for boats under 30 ft and $6.00 per foot per night for boats over 30 ft. Price includes water. There is a $1.00 per foot per night discount if you are staying in our accommodations as well.
We do not have a boat ramp on site at Bud n’ Mary’s Fishing Marina, however there is a boat ramp at Indian Key Fill located approximately 1 mile south.
There is no trailer storage on site as we are a small facility, but there are some options for trailer storage nearby. We do not have dockage or marina access for sail boats. We also do not allow customers to live aboard vessels docked at our facility (No Live Aboards).
A Great Place for Anglers A great spot for anglers. We fished for five days and, with one exception, the guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The offshore boats were serviceable, if not spotless, and the skiffs were all very nice. We stayed right at the marina in dated but clean rooms, and there's a great restaurant (Lazy Daze) next door (but the on-site cafe is poor). Everything is on island time so don't expect efficiency, but that's part of the charm. We would absolutely come again.
Grerat day of Party Boat fishing Hard working crew that always seems to find fish. Good equipment very helpful. Been a regular for 2 years and will keep coming back.
Well we got this place as a recommendation to cook our fish that we just caught! Great and staff super nice. The Conch Fritters were delicious. Our Snapper was cooked in a sautéed way. But be specific on how you want to cook "your" fish. We thought it was sautéed but actually came sautéed in a battered egg covering. We just wanted the delicious fresh fish taste which didn't happen.
