Destin just welcomed an exciting new addition to its waterfront: The Alice Marina, a premier dry slip marina designed for boaters who value convenience, protection, and effortless access to the water. Located just 500 yards from Crab Island, The Alice Marina places boaters at the center of one of the Emerald Coast’s most iconic destinations, without the hassle traditionally associated with owning and storing a boat.

A Prime Location in the Heart of Destin

Positioned in Destin with immediate access to the Choctawhatchee Bay, The Alice Marina offers unmatched proximity to Crab Island, the area’s world-famous shallow sandbar gathering spot. Being only 500 yards away means boaters can leave their slip and arrive at Crab Island in minutes, maximizing time on the water and minimizing fuel and transit time.

Its central location also provides easy access to Destin Harbor, East Pass, and the Gulf of Mexico, making it ideal for everything from sandbar afternoons to offshore fishing trips or sunset cruises.

Boat Slips on Lifts: Elevated Protection and Convenience

The Alice Marina features boat slips on lifts, offering a superior alternative to traditional wet slips. Boats are stored securely above the water, helping to:

  • Reduce hull maintenance and bottom growth

  • Protect vessels from tides, storm surge, and debris

  • Extend the lifespan of the boat

  • Lower long-term maintenance costs

With lift storage, boaters can enjoy peace of mind knowing their investment is protected while remaining ready for spontaneous outings.

Parking Made Easy

Unlike many waterfront marinas where parking can be a challenge, especially during peak season; The Alice Marina includes convenient on-site parking for members and guests. The ease of arriving, parking, and stepping onto your boat without long walks or crowded docks makes every trip smooth from start to finish.

Concierge Service for a Seamless Experience

The Alice Marina elevates the boating lifestyle with our signature concierge service designed to make ownership effortless. Whether it’s preparing provisions for your boat ready upon departure, coordinating fueling, assisting with maintenance scheduling, or helping with guest arrivals, the marina team ensures your time is spent enjoying the water, and not managing logistics.

Simply arrive, step aboard, and go.

Designed for Ease

Every element of The Alice Marina is built around simplicity and accessibility. From its strategic location and lift slips to organized dock layouts and professional support staff, the experience is streamlined and stress-free.For local boaters and seasonal residents alike, The Alice Marina offers:

  • Quick access to Crab Island and the Gulf

  • Protected lift storage

  • Convenient parking

  • Concierge-level service

  • A central Destin location

A New Standard for Destin Boating

The opening of The Alice Marina marks a new chapter in Destin’s boating community. By combining prime location, elevated storage, and full-service support, it delivers a premium yet practical solution for boat owners who want more time on the water and less time worrying about upkeep.
