Pete's Pier Marina — Attraction in Crystal River

It has one dock for public. It is 10 bucks to launch and 5 bucks to park. It was a little confusing first time here going in and paying to walk out to launch. There is a bathroom near ramp. One ramp said do not enter. This morning was no problem launching but coming in was another story. We were able to boat up to restaurants from this location so that was nice. Coming in one guy sat at the ramp for a good 10 minutes. There was a line of boats coming in. Some chose to pull on the side to wait and then a truck pulls up and dropping boat and doesnt care who was trying to get out. Then other people are pulling up against your vehicle to get their boat out even when it says do not enter. Kids were running around too making people slam on breaks as they are pulling out of water. They were not paying attention and no adults were either. So overall it was okay but there needs to be a system when people are waiting to get in and out for long periods of time when...

Refused to allow dockage prior to tropical storm Elsa, demanded we sign a 4 month contract to tie up for the storm.

Ok, I'll respond. No, I did not say no one could fit me in. I said everyone refused to dock us. I have pictures of your marina that show you had a slip the boat would fit into. When you called me about this, the only thing you were concerned about was my reporting you for price gouging and wanted to find out who I spoke to so you could throw them under the bus to cover yourself. You offered no assistance to us at all. Nice try. You could have let us use the vacant slip but didnt. You forgot to address the fact that two of your employees told me that I had to pay for 4 months to get that slip for the night. 2 phone calls with the same demand. Get your story straight. You weren't at the marina. When was the last time you even...

A Tarpon stole my GoPro! Luke and Nicole saved the day! I foolishly tried to get some close up, underwater, tarpon footage off the dock. The gigantic fish jumped up and bit my hand and took my GoPro Camera out of it! I thought it was lost forever. Luke and Nicole heard the commotion and came out of the bait shop to see what was going on. They heard what happened and used their genius brains to get my GoPro back! They brought out a magnet on a rope to find the camera on the bottom of the river. The tide was really high, Luke zip tied a mop handle onto a net handle to make it long enough to scoop my camera up! I couldn't believe the fish swiped it and then couldn't believe the got it back! Pete's Pier has the best staff always willing to help, they totally go above and beyond! Watch the GoPro footage on YouTube- The...
