South Bay Marina opened for business in the spring of 2003 continuing a long line of successful marina facilities dating back to the late 60's. Started by Capt. Justin Finch, his goal has been to provide quality services with a personal approach and fair prices. At SBM we pride ourselves on having the best captains in the area. Our captains know that knowledge of the local water is an important part of the overall experience, but also honesty and communication with the client is equally as important. SBM maintains a wide selection of rental boats to meet everyone's needs. The facility offers a full range of marina services including; bait, tackle, clothing, fuel, food and beverages. Our team of knowledgeable associates is available 70 hours a week to handle your fishing and boating needs.
