Boat slip rental

Hello,

can anyone please recommend a place to store my boat overnight (for 7 nights) during the week of July 4th. Or a boat slip rental. Our condo we rented does not allow boat parking. Thank you advance for any ideas.

Finding a short-term boat slip rental in Destin around the July 4th week can be a bit challenging due to high demand, but there are several marinas that typically offer overnight or weekly slip rentals. It’s best to book as early as possible to secure a spot for your boat.

Here are some recommended options for boat storage or slip rentals:

  • Destin Harbor Boardwalk Marinas: Several marinas along the harbor offer transient slips and weekly rentals. These are convenient if you want easy access to restaurants and the harbor area.
  • HarborWalk Marina: Offers short-term slips and is centrally located in Destin Harbor. The staff can accommodate week-long stays and may provide power and water hookups.
  • Destin West Marina: Located near the East Pass, good for quick launches to the Gulf. They offer nightly and weekly slip rentals.
  • Regatta Bay Marina: Slightly north of Destin proper, this marina offers transient slips and can be quieter than the main harbor marinas.

Other tips:

  • Call ahead and confirm availability, as July 4th week is peak season.
  • Ask about amenities such as electricity, water, and security for overnight storage.
  • If your boat is trailerable, some nearby boat ramps with parking areas may allow you to leave the boat on the trailer, though overnight policies vary.

Booking early and confirming rates directly with the marinas will give you the best chance to secure a safe and convenient spot for your boat during your stay.
