This destination has been welcoming tourists to fish at its picturesque marina and make timeless memories since 1957. Nestled along the Grand Lagoon, just moments from white sand beaches that melt into the Gulf of Mexico, the property offers a luxurious waterfront experience.

Outside, you and your partner can exchange vows in front of the marina, where the tranquil waves and spectacular sunsets will paint a stunning backdrop. After the ceremony, the observation deck is available for sipping drinks with loved ones in an open-air setting. Dinner and dancing are hosted in the Captain’s Quarters ballroom, a spacious banquet hall featuring large windows, breathtaking views, and seating for 350 guests. The adjacent Davis Hall and Anderson Hall hold 63 and 69 people, respectively, and can be configured as get-ready suites, ceremony spots, or cocktail hours.

The venue had the space it talks about, however, you have to pay more for every item. Linens are extra and the chairs are old and ugly. You can make it look great but it comes at an extra price. We rented for a Saturday wedding but could not decorate until 12;00 for a 4:30 wedding. The owner Susie is hard to work with. Wish we had cancelled and went elsewhere. We live in Panama City Beach. There are better options.. I wished we would have listened to previous reviews from individuals that had rented the space. Shout out to Chelsie. She was the only communication that was pleasant to work with. I would not recommend this venue.
Do not let this venue pass you by. It is a beautiful location, Chelsea and Susie are fabulous to work with and you will not be disappointed!
I just booked this venue in such short notice. My wedding is in July, and to my surprise they will be able to accommodate. This place is so beautiful and I’m very excited about spending my special time here.
I just booked this venue for my November wedding and it is absolutely stunning. I'm looking forward to getting married here. I will update this review after it's all over. but so far it seems wonderful and Chelsea has been a pleasure to work with.
