Shop productsVisit the storeA downtown waterfront on the west side of the bay
St. Petersburg’s municipal marina sits at 500 1st Avenue SE, on the point of Demens Landing, adjacent to the St. Pete Pier and the downtown Waterfront District. The city’s marina page describes a large wet-slip basin, a 500-foot transient dock, a public boat launch and a ship store, on the western side of Tampa Bay. The city has selected a design/build contractor for a later redevelopment; current services and reservations are on the city’s marina page.
The FWC Tampa Bay guide also lists other Clean Marinas around the city, including The Harborage Marina at 1110 3rd Street South, the Renaissance Vinoy Marina at 501 5th Avenue NE, Maximo Marina at 4801 37th Street South, and the St. Petersburg Yacht Club at 11 Central Avenue (with a Snell Isle location also listed). Together they cover the downtown basin, the Vinoy waterfront, and the southern approaches toward the mouth of the bay.
Our store is about 21.1 miles from St. Petersburg, roughly 33 minutes without traffic. That’s a planned trip for most owners; many order online and have it arrive UPS Ground.

St. Petersburg care notes
Downtown slips and south-side basins see a lot of sun and a lot of looking.
Weekly
- Wash a coated boat with an SiO2 soap, and treat water spots on dark hulls before they show from the dock.
- Deck caulking picks up mildew stains in this climate. A gel caulking remover can sit for hours and do the work.
- Rinse hardware and the transom after a bay run. Even a short hop to the Pier collects spray.
When you’re doing a larger job
- Correct oxidation with a heavy cut, then a finishing polish, before a ceramic coating goes on.
- Starke Venom is described as safe on nano-ceramic coated finishes, as well as gelcoat, marine paint, glass and metal.
- If you’d rather not drive up to Clearwater, order online. Florida orders, except the Panhandle, usually arrive in about one business day by UPS Ground, as stated on our shipping page.

Frequently asked questions
How far is the store from St. Petersburg?
About 21.1 miles from the St. Petersburg city geocode, roughly 33 minutes without traffic. Rush hour on I-275 can add time.
Do you ship to St. Petersburg?
Yes. We offer free shipping on orders over $200 (UPS Ground) and a $7 flat rate on orders under $200. Our shipping page says packages shipped within Florida usually arrive in about one business day by UPS Ground, except for the Panhandle.
Do you deliver to the municipal marina, the Harborage or the Vinoy?
No. We don’t offer marina or dock delivery. Shop in person at the Clearwater store, or order online for UPS Ground shipping.
How do I get mildew stains out of deck caulking?
Use a caulking stain remover made for the job. Xanigo’s gel is applied straight onto the caulking and left for several hours, ideally overnight, then rinsed. Follow the directions on the product page.
