Location & Overview Plaza Marina Jacksonville, also known as Berkman Plaza Marina, sits in the heart of downtown Jacksonville on the St. Johns River, about 21 miles from the Intracoastal Waterway and 26 miles to Mayport. The location makes it a convenient starting point for exploring Northeast Florida's waterways, with easy access to downtown dining, entertainment, and nearby parks and nature reserves along the river.
Monthly Slip Rentals Plaza Marina Jacksonville's 52 slips sit on floating docks with water and electrical service (30 and 50 amp) available, with all vessels secured behind locking gates for added peace of mind. Monthly renters who keep their boats in the water long-term benefit from DS Diving's underwater hull cleaning and routine maintenance inspections, keeping hulls, running gear, and through-hull points clear of marine growth and giving owners a filmed record of their boat's condition between visits, without needing to check on it in person.
Transient Dockage For boaters passing through, Plaza Marina Jacksonville also offers short-term slip rentals by the day, week, or month, with or without water and electrical service, and a convenient downtown location near the Jacksonville stadium, Daily's Place, and a range of restaurants and events. Transient boaters visiting for a game, concert, or weekend in the city aren't always familiar with the currents and traffic of a busy urban river, and DS Diving's underwater damage evaluations give them a way to check for any hull or running gear damage picked up along the way before heading back out.
Downtown Jacksonville on the Water Docking at Plaza Marina Jacksonville puts boaters within walking distance of downtown Jacksonville's restaurants, entertainment, and riverfront attractions, along with easy access to nearby parks and nature reserves for those looking to get off the water for a while. Whether staying for a season or just a weekend, the marina's central location makes it a practical home base for exploring the city from the water.
