Location & Overview St. Augustine Shipyard sits along the San Sebastian River, just a 10-minute cruise to the inlet, offering boaters a secure, modern, and exceptionally convenient home on the water in historic St. Augustine, Florida. The state-of-the-art facility features a CAT 4 hurricane-rated storage barn built to protect vessels through every season, with 281 dry storage slips and 15 lift slips currently available. Beyond protected docks and streamlined launch services, the marina's prime location puts boaters within easy reach of nearby restaurants, shops, and local businesses, turning a day on the water into a full St. Augustine experience.
Lift Slips & Marina Experience With 15 lift slips on the scenic San Sebastian River, St. Augustine Shipyard offers an exclusive, close-knit marina experience just moments from the Florida Intracoastal Waterway. Ideally positioned for both inshore cruising and quick access to the Atlantic, the marina is designed for working watermen, serious anglers, and boating families alike. The limited number of slips allows for a personalized, high-touch experience in a protected harbor setting, where authentic dockside culture thrives and every return feels like coming home.
Dry Storage & Valet Boating Experience At St. Augustine Shipyard, dry storage is more than protection — it's a complete valet boating experience. Vessels are housed inside the marina's modern CAT 4 hurricane-rated storage barn for superior storm protection and professional year-round care. Ahead of each outing, the on-site team handles fueling and boat preparation on the dock, and upon return, every boat is rinsed with fresh water and its engines flushed before being stowed safely back inside the facility. Professional dock staff ensure seamless arrivals and stress-free departures every time, and for boats that need attention below the waterline, DS Diving's zinc replacement and underwater hull cleaning round out that same worry-free approach to boat care.
Local Access & Boater Essentials Located just five minutes from historic downtown St. Augustine with direct access to Matanzas Inlet and Anastasia State Park, St. Augustine Shipyard makes it effortless to start a day on the water. Boaters benefit from a 7.0 ft minimum approach depth, a 10.0 ft channel depth, and a fuel dock and bait & tackle shop on-site, along with amenities including an on-site restaurant, restrooms and showers, Wi-Fi, and on-site security. Boaters considering a used vessel, or wanting a closer look at existing damage, can also turn to DS Diving for underwater inspections without pulling the boat from the water, with each inspection filmed and provided to the owner afterward.
Area Highlights Beyond the marina, boaters and guests are just minutes from some of St. Augustine's most iconic attractions, including Castillo de San Marcos, the Lightner Museum, the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum, and the shops and restaurants of downtown St. Augustine. Combined with easy access to Matanzas Inlet and Anastasia State Park, St. Augustine Shipyard's location makes it simple to pair a day on the water with the history, culture, and character of the Nation's Oldest City.
