I had a very disappointing experience with Shell Point Marina…read more I specifically chose this marina because they offered engine flushing. When I picked up my boat, I noticed the battery switch had been left on. When I asked about it, I was told they don't turn the battery switch off after flushing because they don't operate the boat during the flushing process. That explanation concerned me because the Mercury owner's manual states that the engine must be running in order to properly flush the cooling system. Based on what I was told by the marina, I don't believe my engine was being flushed according to the manufacturer's procedure. As a result, my battery was completely discharged because the battery switch had been left on. In addition to that, I experienced repeated problems with the fuel dock being unavailable and the entrance gate not working properly. In the end, I lost confidence in leaving my boat there. I paid to terminate my contract early so I could bring my boat home and take care of it myself. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this marina.

Great place to spend and afternoon at the beach! There is a great playground right next to the…read morebeach and some great spots on each side to go fishing. There are 3-4 large pavilions on the beach, along with grills. There are a couple of volleyball courts as well. Showers and restrooms are located near the entrance/exit of the parking lot. A word of caution - there are some sharks in the waters, so you don't want to venture out past the no swimming signs that are clearly posted in the water. Two downsides to this location - there are no waves (I know that's no ones fault!) and the sand/beach area isn't maintained by a staff, so there is grass growing very close to the beach. One could argue that you get that "natural" beach feeling, so to each their own.

It's off the beaten path... we stayed here while waiting for our house to close... 2weeks.

We stayed here another time bc I won a free weekend for Valentine's Day raffle. We chose our anniversary to come... We've recommended to several friends and family members, who come to visit. They also LOVE IT! The cottages are adorable... and it reminds me of Key West!

We had a birthday party/family reunion here and it served its purpose wonderfully. We all came from…read morefar and wide and threw a party that was awesome! I loved that we all had our own cottages and in the mornings we would gather at one and have breakfast and coffee together, just catching up. There was so much to do as well. The kids had a blast in the pool and some went fishing on the dock. We played games and chatted for hours. The cottages were well stocked and comfortable. I rented the 2 bedroom and it had 2 ac units to keep the place cooled down. I only had 2 gripes during this stay: 1. The shower head in the restroom. I'm not saying that it needs to be a rainfall shower head but a regular shower head set up in the ceiling isn't working. They need to just move it where a regular shower head goes, on the wall. 2. The bug bites. I mean, I get it, it's right on the water but no amount of bug spray worked. No home remedies worked. You just had to take it. I walked out of there looking like I have chicken pox but I had a great time! Other than that, everything was amazing! Tami and Lynn were great and any questions we had they were both ready to help. I will definitely come back but it won't be in the summer, I have learned my lesson lol.

And worst of all, we were only 15 minutes late due to the long "No Wake" channel that you have to drive through and the distance from Downtown to Ruskin AND they still charged us $50. That is crappy customer service in my book especially after paying $430 + tax and $200 for gas (which is more than double the amount of gas we used!). Definitely will not be using them again!

Captain Joel is the man! If you are coming to the Tampa Bay area or are a local looking for an…read moreadventure he and his mates are here for you. Make sure and book early, because he is a popular Captain. He is a great guide and has been fishing the Tampa Bay and surrounding waters for over 20 years. If you have a certain fish you are targeting discuss it with him on the phone and he will make sure and "hook" you up. I have been out with Joel 3 times and he has put me on the fish everytime. We caught our limit of Sheepshead (good eats), he's put me on a wicked Snook bite twice, and we caught 10 keeper trout on my last trip with a Black Drum and a Flounder too boot. That leads me to my three things: 1) Joel takes care of the rod/tackle, live bait, ice and will clean any catch for you. 2) BYOB for drinks and snacks 3) He does not watch the clock. If the fish are hitting you are fishing. Look him up next time you are in the bay area and especially around the full/null moons. Bigger tide changes = more fish.

We normally visit the dog beach to take our pup and he loves it so much!…read more On our last visit we decided to go further back in the park and realized how much bigger it is. Taking the long walk to the back, there were many pavilions, playgrounds and nature walks, that I was surprised to see. There's even a disk golf for anyone who enjoys playing! Definitely recommend this beach if you want to bring your dog to the beach. The dog beach is perfectly sectioned off by a fence and there is an area to give your dog a bath before leaving. It's perfect so you don't have to bring them into your car all sandy! It's typically not too busy but if you go in the weekend it might get a little crowded. Great beach and park nearby and even better that it's free!

Well, it's been a couple days since our outing and my only complaint is that my right bicep is…read morestill sore from all the fish we caught! You'll want to do a couple weeks of bicep curls and stretch out before heading off to fish with Capt Will. As I sat by the launch afterwards, I heard everybody coming back disappointed in the one or two mackerel they managed to catch. "It was too cold" or "They just weren't out there today" was common to hear. I just nodded and felt sorry for them while I massaged my sore arm and contemplated having to drink left-handed for the rest of the week. For the day, Will put us on an incredible early trout bite before we moved on. We hooked so many that we lost count quickly. Once the tide rolled in, we moved towards an inlet and passed an insane ball of action along the way. He said not to worry because we were going to the same place those redfish were heading. Sure enough, shortly after we got to the mangroves, a ton of big reds came in behind us and then the fun began. Every red drum we caught was slot and the challenge of pitching shrimp in the tangled mess of mangroves to get them out was awesome! Capt. Will made great use of my time and the only regret I had was leaving my prescription sunglasses back in Chicago. Next time!
