Emerald Harbor Marina, in Panama City, FL,

Tucked safely into the well-protected waters of Watson Bayou, Emerald Harbor Marina is one of Panama City, Florida’s newest and most boater-friendly marinas. Conveniently located just off the Intracoastal Waterway at lighted green marker 25, the marina is fully rebuilt and operational as of 2022. With six dedicated transient slips, Emerald Harbor can accommodate vessels up to 100 feet in length, including sailboats, motor yachts, and sportfishing boats from brands like Beneteau, Jeanneau, Viking, Sea Ray, and Hatteras.

Open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, the marina provides full hookups at each slip—including power, water, and pump-out services (available seasonally). Amenities include clean, spacious restrooms, free on-site laundry, Wi-Fi, and a courtesy car for provisioning or exploring nearby attractions. Just minutes from downtown Panama City, visitors can enjoy local favorites like Hunt’s Oyster Bar, Finns Island Style Grub, and the unique boutiques along Harrison Avenue.

Emerald Harbor is ideally positioned just across from Shell Island and only seven miles from the Gulf of Mexico, making it a perfect home base for family vacations, fishing charters, and sailing getaways. With calm waters, friendly staff, and central access to top coastal experiences, it’s a growing favorite for reunions, cruising couples, and weekend boating groups.
