Maximo Marina - Saint Petersburg/Tampa

Maximo Marina holds the title of largest covered marina on the Florida Gulf Coast, with 220 wet slips plus high and dry storage tucked into a well-protected harbor in South St. Petersburg. You get easy access to both the Gulf and the Intracoastal from here, which is a big deal if you want flexibility on where you're headed. It's a serious, full-service setup rather than a boutique stop — open seven days a week and big enough to handle whatever you're bringing in.
