Premium Boat Slips, Yacht Dockage & Marina Services Minutes from Destin

Looking for a marina in Destin without giving up the space, services, and dockage options your boat needs?

Sunset Isle Marina and Yacht Club is located on Okaloosa Island, just minutes by water from Destin Harbor, Crab Island, Destin Pass, and the Gulf of Mexico. Our 142-slip marina provides a convenient home base for Destin-area boat owners, seasonal boaters, transient vessels, sportfishing boats, and luxury yachts.

Unlike smaller marina facilities around Destin Harbor, Sunset Isle was purpose-built with modern boaters and larger vessels in mind. You’ll find deep-water dockage, wide fairways, full-length finger piers, fuel services, metered utilities, pump-out service, secure marina access, and accommodations for vessels ranging from recreational boats to yachts up to 360 feet.

A Destin-Area Marina Built for Boaters

Destin is one of Florida’s best-known boating destinations, but finding the right marina isn’t always as simple as finding the closest dock.

Slip size, water depth, maneuvering room, utilities, security, fuel access, and the route to open water can matter much more once you’re using the marina regularly.

Sunset Isle Marina and Yacht Club gives boaters another option.

Located at 1350 Miracle Strip Pkwy SE on Okaloosa Island, the marina sits along Choctawhatchee Bay and puts boaters close to the destinations that make the Destin area such a popular place to keep a boat.

From Sunset Isle, you’re conveniently positioned for runs to:

• Crab Island
• Destin Harbor
• Destin Pass and East Pass
• Choctawhatchee Bay
• The Gulf of Mexico
• Okaloosa Island
• Fort Walton Beach
• Nearby waterfront restaurants
• Inshore and offshore fishing grounds

Whether Destin is your home, your seasonal destination, or simply a stop along the Gulf Coast, Sunset Isle provides a modern marina close to the action without requiring you to keep your vessel directly inside busy Destin Harbor.

Boat Slips Near Destin for Short-Term & Long-Term Dockage

Not every boater needs the same type of slip.

Some owners want a permanent home for their boat. Others spend only part of the year on the Emerald Coast. Traveling captains may need transient dockage for a few nights before continuing along the Gulf Coast.

Sunset Isle accommodates all three.

Wet Slips

Keep your boat in the water and ready to go.

Our wet slips are a practical choice for Destin-area boat owners who want to spend more time boating and less time launching, loading, and dealing with crowded public ramps.

Available marina infrastructure includes full-length finger piers, wide slips, metered electric, water hookups, pump-out service, and convenient access to fuel.

Marina Amenities That Make Boating Easier

A marina should do more than give you somewhere to tie up.

Sunset Isle was developed around the practical things boat owners and captains deal with every time they use their vessels.

Marina features and services include:

• 142 wet slips
• Deep-water dockage
• Full-length finger piers
• Extra-wide slip options
• Wide marina fairways
• Fuel dock services
• Gas and diesel
• Metered shore power
• Water hookups
• Pump-out service
• Marina concierge services
• Video surveillance
• Secure marina access
• Ice delivery
• Golf cart rentals
• WiFi
• Private beach access for marina tenants and their guests
• Short-term and long-term dockage
• Accommodations for recreational boats and large yachts

The result is a marina designed not only around where a boat sits, but around what owners and crews need before and after they leave the dock.

Close to Crab Island

For many Destin-area boaters, proximity to Crab Island is a major consideration when choosing a marina.

Sunset Isle is approximately three miles from Crab Island, making it easy to leave the marina and head toward one of the Emerald Coast’s best-known boating destinations.

Crab Island sits near the Destin Bridge at the entrance to Choctawhatchee Bay and is accessible only by boat. During boating season, it becomes one of the area’s most popular places for swimming, floating, meeting friends, and spending the day on the water.

Keeping your boat nearby means a Crab Island trip doesn’t need to become an all-day production.

Load the boat, leave the dock, and go.

Convenient Access to Destin Harbor & the Gulf

Destin’s location is a major reason the area has developed such a strong boating and fishing culture.

Choctawhatchee Bay provides miles of protected water for cruising and recreation, while Destin Pass provides access between the bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

Sunset Isle puts boaters close to both.

Destin Harbor is approximately three miles from the marina, while East Pass is approximately three and a half miles away.

That makes Sunset Isle particularly attractive to boaters who want convenient access to Destin but don’t necessarily want their home slip in the middle of the activity and commercial traffic around the harbor.

For offshore anglers, sportfishing boats, cruising yachts, and recreational boaters, the marina provides a convenient starting point for both bay and Gulf boating.

Deep-Water Yacht Dockage Near Destin

Finding marina space becomes considerably harder as vessel size increases.

Large sportfish boats, motor yachts, mega yachts, and superyachts need more than an ordinary wet slip. Draft, beam, turning room, dock length, shore power, fueling, and crew access all become part of the decision.

Sunset Isle was designed with larger vessels in mind.

The marina offers deep-water access, wide fairways, large slip configurations, full-length piers, utility services, and specialized dockage capable of accommodating yachts up to 360 feet.

Available options include:

• Deep-water dockage
• Wide-slip dockage
• Mega yacht dockage
• Superyacht dockage
• Transient yacht dockage
• Long-term yacht accommodations

For captains searching for a yacht marina near Destin, these capabilities substantially expand the range of vessels Sunset Isle can accommodate.
