Cast Off and Relax: Your Ultimate Guide to Cedar Key Marina

CK Marina at 12780 SR 24

Anyone who has driven down the scenic stretch of SR 24 toward the Gulf, you know that the transition from mainland Florida to the island life of Cedar Key is something special. Nestled right at 12780 SR 24, Cedar Key Marina stands as the premier gateway for those who want to experience the best of these coastal waters.

Whether you're a hardcore angler chasing redfish or a family looking for a sunset cruise, here is why this marina should be your first stop if you are boating or fishing in Cedar Key.

🚤World-Class Boat Storage

One of the biggest challenges for boat owners is finding a safe, reliable place to keep their vessel. Cedar Key Marina offers storage for over 100 boats, providing both:

  • Inside Storage: Keeping your boat shielded from the Florida sun and salt air.

  • Outside Storage: Secure and accessible for those who hit the water frequently.

Visiting and need somewhere to keep your boat? If you’re coming to the island but don’t have a place to store your boat at your vacation rental, the marina offers temporary storage. Staying off the island? Cedar Key Marina has storage in Rosewood as well. It’s the perfect solution for weekend warriors who want the peace of mind that their boat is secure while they enjoy the island.

🛠️ Full-Service Maintenance & Sales

Cedar Key Marina isn't just a place to store your boat; it’s a full-service hub. They are authorized dealers for Yamaha and Suzuki, meaning you have access to expert Yamaha, Suzuki, and Mercury certified mechanics who know these engines inside and out.

From routine oil changes to complex repairs, their full-service maintenance department ensures you spend more time on the water and less time on the trailer.

Looking to upgrade?

  • New Starcraft Boats: They are a proud dealer of Starcraft, offering some of the most reliable and versatile boats on the market today.

  • Consignment Sales: If you’re looking to sell your current boat, their consignment service takes the headache out of the process, putting your vessel in front of the right buyers.

⚓A One-Stop Boating Store

Before you head out, you need the essentials. There’s no need to make multiple stops when the marina has it all:

  • Bait & Tackle: Advice on what's biting, local tide charts and the gear to catch it.

  • Live Shrimp: The "gold standard" for Florida fishing, kept fresh and ready.

  • Boating Gear: Everything from safety equipment to the little things you realized you forgot at home.

🚤 Get Out on the Water: Rentals

You don’t need to own a boat to enjoy the Gulf. The marina features a versatile rental fleet:

  • Pontoon Boat: Perfect for groups and families. Spacious, stable, and ideal for exploring the nearby islands or finding a quiet spot to swim.

  • Skiff: For the fish-focused explorers, a skiff allows you to navigate the shallower backwaters where the big ones are biting.
