Palm Harbor’s boating is concentrated along Bayshore Drive and Orange Street, on the small harbors that open to St. Joseph Sound. The FWC Tampa Bay boating guide lists three Clean Marinas here: Marino’s Marina at 297 Bayshore Drive, Homeport Marina at 605 Orange Street, and Island Harbor Marina at 123 Orange Street. FDEP also lists them among designated Clean Marinas in the Southwest District (Home Port and Pat’s Landing Inc. dba Marino’s Marina appear under those program names).
Boats kept in those basins do a lot of short runs on the sound and longer days out toward the Gulf. That pattern leaves salt on the hull and the hardware, and it rewards a coating-safe wash, a spot remover you can use on a ceramic-coated finish, and regular attention to aluminum and stainless. We are not affiliated with any of the three marinas and we don’t deliver to them.
Our store is about 5.8 miles from Palm Harbor, roughly 11 minutes without traffic. For most owners it’s an easier stop than driving into a larger city for supplies.

Palm Harbor care notes
Short runs still leave a salt film.
After you come back in
- Wash a coated boat with an SiO2 soap so the coating stays slick and keeps shedding water.
- Treat water spots on gelcoat, glass and metal before they etch, including on a ceramic-coated finish.
- Wipe rails and hardware. Salt spray settles on the parts you don’t look at first.
A few times a year
- If the hull is corrected and in good shape, a marine-grade ceramic coating is the longest protection you can add.
- A spray sealant is a faster way to keep protection up between coating jobs.
- Clean canvas, cushions and the underside of covers before humid weeks turn into a mildew problem.
