Marineland, a place of History and Science.
The original vision for Marineland began in 1938 as an effort to duplicate the variety of marine life as it exists in the wild for the purpose of filming under the name of Marine Studios. Marineland has evolved from a place to watch dolphins to one where visitors can interact with them in a 1.3 million-gallon habitat. Marineland currently offers a vareity of water and educational programs.
Marineland is also home to University of Florida’s Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience. Visiting scientists give monthly lectures on the 2nd Thursday of the month and on occasion there are concerts in their 300 seat auditorium next door.
Marina Details
A major expansion was just completed to include a brand new marina building with showers, restrooms, and laundry + 20 new transient slips of concrete floating docks with 30/50 amp service in 40' and 50' slips with full length piers and a 100' T-head with 100 amp electrical service. Free pump-out is available at each slip on the new docks. Additional bulkhead tie ups are now available on the seawall for catamarans (no wide beam additional charges) and larger vessels up to 100'. Dredging has increased depths to 6.5' in the channel and at our 50' slips. Marineland Marina offers $1.25 per foot daily transient dockage. Stay 3 days or more and receive 1/2 price kayaking ecotours with Ripple Effect Ecotours. Weekly rates are $7/foot.
Please note that we have larger and wider slips available for catamarans or larger vessels up to 100' on our bulkhead and Bellingham floating docks. Minimum draft is typically 6.0' at low tide.
