Jacksonville, Florida
Location & Overview English Landing Marina is a modern maritime gateway to St. Augustine, Florida, located on the San Sebastian River about five miles inland from the St. Augustine inlet. Purchased in 2017 by local building contractor John Valdes and partner CeCe Reigle, the marina underwent a complete refurbishment in 2018 and 2019, adding floating docks, access piers, bath and shower facilities, laundry, and a dredging project that now accommodates vessels up to 55 feet in length. Fronting US-1 and just a 20-minute walk from historic downtown St. Augustine, English Landing Marina puts boaters close to the Nation's Oldest City while keeping them right on the water.
Slips & Dockside Facilities With 44 slips accommodating vessels up to 55 feet in length, 22 feet in beam, and 15 feet of draft, English Landing Marina offers well-equipped docking for boats of nearly any size, including dedicated catamaran slips. Eight-foot-wide floating docks, along with 27-foot and 35-foot finger docks, make vessel access easy, while electrical service up to 50 amps, fiber optic Wi-Fi, and potable water at every slip keep the marina fully outfitted. Fuel and pump-out service are available nearby, and a fire protection system, security lighting, and closed-circuit surveillance keep every slip protected. Boaters docked at English Landing also have access to DS Diving's underwater hull cleaning, keeping hulls free of marine growth between haul-outs without ever leaving the slip.
Live-Aboard & Transient Boating English Landing Marina welcomes vessels in transit, seasonal storage, and live-aboard residents alike across its 44 slips. Live-aboard guests have access to a conditioned shower and bathhouse facility with coin laundry, a covered dockside pavilion for entertainment and socializing, and on-site parking. Whether boaters are passing through St. Augustine or calling the marina home, DS Diving's zinc replacement and monitoring services help protect vessels from corrosion during extended stays in the water.
Provisioning & Local Area Boaters at English Landing Marina are never far from what they need, with grocery stores, restaurants, marine supply shops, and everyday conveniences all within a short walk of the docks. A 20-minute walk brings boaters into the heart of historic downtown St. Augustine, with its restaurants, shopping, and centuries of history, making English Landing Marina an easy base for exploring the city on foot. DS Diving's piling restoration and inspection services also support the marina's docks and access piers, helping keep the waterfront infrastructure in working order.
