Reviews
great vibe and all workers were super helpful and enjoyable! definitely will be coming back for further rentals that i would like to use
Whale Harbor Marina is a really great marina and fun spot. It has lots of amenities such as Whale Harbor Restaurant which is a seafood buffet and Wahoo's Bar and Grill. I think Wahoo's is better as it sits way up high. You'll have a few stairs to climb but above all, the view itself is worth it. It was voted 3rd Best View in Miami Heralds "Best of South Florida. And, yes, they do serve up wonderfully generous filets of super fresh wahoo and other local catches. Then, if you're out on one of Whale Harbor Marina's charters and catch a fish, they will cook it for you...can't be a better deal or taste treat than that. For Charters, they have a whole bunch of them, all with licensed captains as well as knowledgeable and season crews. Besides fishing, there are also offerings of sunset, snorkeling, sandbar, and other such cruises. There is good dockage, and if you come in by boat, even a dockage spot reserved for restaurant use.
Just got back from a 1 1/2 hr Jetski tour. My husband and I were complete beginners but Scott, Zack and Mark helped us feel secure and confident. The Jetskis are well maintained and the guys that run the rentals know what they're doing.
