We are fully committed to building on the strong foundation already here while investing in the property to upgrade your marina experience. Here is a sneak peek at what we’re working on:

-Upgrading & improving the overall marina property.

-Refreshing common areas and overall aesthetics
-Creating new events and community gatherings 🎉

We are also thrilled to partner in the broader experience on the property alongside Half Shell Dockside and Buoy Brewing. Together, we want to make this a place where everyone can gather, share a great meal, and make memories on the water.

Today marks the end of an incredible chapter: Half Shell Dockside, Buoy Brewing, and Scipio Creek Marina are now under new ownership.

The same management and staff are still here and ready to welcome you! We will be open tomorrow!

We are incredibly grateful to every employee, customer, musician, fisherman, boater, vendor, friend, and family member who played a part in making this place what it is today.

Although ownership has changed, we are not going anywhere. Apalachicola is our home, and we will continue to support the people and community who have supported us so faithfully.

We are proud of everything we built here and sincerely hope our amazing crew continues to flourish under the new ownership. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the memories, the friendships, the laughter, and the unwavering support. It has truly meant more to us than words can express.

Here’s to the next chapter. 🍻
