By Land: Located just past Tavernier Creek Bridge, Tavernier Creek Marina is a pleasant one-hour drive south of Miami on the Overseas Highway (US 1), Bayside at MM 90.8. When you see five huge blue and white striped buildings and a big American flag flying overhead, you’ll know you have arrived.

By Water: On the Bayside, Flashing Green # 71 On the Oceanside, Black & White flashing buoy. Latitude: 25 02’00” Longitude: -80 31’9”


Hours of Operation:

We are open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, seven days a week.
We closed for lunch between 12:00 noon and 1:00 pm, year-round.

To insure that your boat is ready and waiting for you when you arrive, we ask that you call us one hour prior to your arrival, earlier if possible on holiday weekends. 

With the exception of Barn 5, boat customers who wish to use their boat during nonoperational hours should request a late launch before 4:30 PM.

Barn 5 customers who wish to have their boats placed in the water should call one day in advance. This will allow us ample time to prepare your boat. Wet-slip customers may access their boat anytime. With our rollover lines, we make sure your call is always answered.

We are closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day; however, just call the day before, and we will put your boat in the water at the end of the day, so you can still use your boat on these holidays.
