Rialto Marina Is No More

We’re sorry to say that one of our favorite hideaways has decided to hang it up. Rumor is, the owner is retiring.

It’s such a pretty spot, maybe someday…

Here’s to safe and happy cruises,

Marina Jack’s, Sarasota, FL

We’ve never been to Sarasota before, we always passed it by while heading south as fast a possible, but we’d always heard good things about Sarasota. We came to Marina Jack’s for business and were pleasantly surprised by what we found.

This is a world class marina that’s located adjacent to the downtown sector of a world class city.

Management and staff at Marina Jack’s are some of the most professional and friendly folks we’ve ever ran across at a marina. They operate Marina Jack’s like a fine hotel — Think upscale hospitality.  The restaurants onsite are very good and the sunset views are killer. It’s location, in the shadow of and just a short walk from downtown Sarasota, makes this marina a day, week, or long term destination. Within a couple of blocks you have a Whole Foods and on the way down Main St. you’ll pass some more great restaurants, barber shop, spas, hair salons, and everything else one would imagine a world class downtown has to offer.

Marina Jack’s offer’s everything a boater would need; from divers for under the waterline to marine electronics above it, all onsite.

The WiFi is, in my biased opinion because my company installed it, is the absolute best marina wifi I have ever experienced. I’m not making this up… it’s really good.

onSpot wifi has just finished installing the most technologically advanced WiFi hotspot to be found in Florida or anywhere else on the east coast of the USA.

We stayed at Marina Jack for almost 2 weeks and it is on the top of our list of the most fun and interesting marinas and cities we’ve been to.

Our opinion of Marina Jack’s is an excellent one.  If you haven’t been, you should go there, I promise you’ll enjoy it too.

Here’s to safe and happy cruising,
