Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor, St. Augustine, FL

FROM STREETS LINED WITH SPANISH COLONIAL ARCHITECTURE to a palm-tree draped beachfront, historic charm meets tropical paradise at this northeast Florida destination.

Nestled in a nook off the Tolomato River just minutes from the Atlantic coast and downtown St. Augustine, Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor boasts a full-service marina with 218 slips accommodating vessels up to 150 feet, four lift slips and a boutique hotel with scenic harbor views. Guests can enjoy upscale amenities including a dock bar, swimming pool, spa, bathhouse, laundry, service centers, grill areas and five fuel stations. Yacht brokers, courtesy cars and a sailing school are also available on-site.

Windward Marina Group recently acquired Camachee Cove with plans to revamp as they continue to grow their marina management portfolio across Florida. Exciting facility upgrades are underway as the marina is adding 600 feet of new superyacht dockage and 500 feet of replacement bulkhead on the southeast side to accommodate larger vessels and transients boaters.

On-site provisioning options include a waterfront dinner overlooking the marina at Kingfish Gril, breakfast or lunch at Odd Birds Café, or a homemade Italian meal from the family-owned Vinny’s Pizza. For cozy lodging, the Inn at Camachee Harbor offers charming deluxe suites with balconies, patios and Jacuzzis.

“Our marina is the most protected on the waterway in St. Augustine as it’s nestled in a quiet cove just off the Intracoastal, less than one mile from the St. Augustine Inlet and less than two miles from downtown,” says Lori Kafel, office manager. “We also have a great staff that is here to help meet each customer’s individual needs.”

Venture downtown into the oldest city in the nation to explore notable historic sites and enjoy the local bars, restaurants and nightlife. Catch a show at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, tour the historic district on an Old Town Trolley, take a sunset cruise or dolphin sightseeing ecoadventure with Florida Water Tours, or head east to kick back and relax on the beach at Vilano, Crescent, or St. Augustine Beaches.

As you meander the St. Augustine streets, gaze upon opulent architecture within a cultural scene that’s rich in history. The city offers a long list of museums and sites, and a few notable stops include the Lightner Museum, Castillo de San Marcos National Monument and St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum. For unique niches, view beautiful artwork at the Villa Zorayda Museum or explore the darker side of history at the Old Jail Museum and the Medieval Torture Museum.

Don’t miss annual music festivals such as Rhythm & Ribs and Sing out Loud Festival, as well as local traditions at the Greek Festival and Cathedral Festival. Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor hosts popular fishing tournaments including the Kingfish Challenge, Old City Elite Kingfish Tournament and El Pescado Billfish Tournament.

The marina also plans to add a new restaurant and additional parking as part of its renovation. Stay tuned for updates at Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor!
