Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We rented a pontoon boot online for Tues pickup. We arrived in town on Monday to look the place over. The office doesn't have a good sign so you have to look around. It's next to the boat docks in a two story building. Very nice people that work there. We had a 7:30 rental. Got there at 7 and was on our way by 7:15. Fun ride just a ways up the river. The water was so still the reflections were amazing. The we turned toward the gulf and the lighthouse. Be very careful when navigation. It took both of us watching to make sure we stayed in the channel. You can't more up to the island at the lighthouse but the view from the water is awesome. You have a vantage point others don't have. This is the easiest and nicest marina we've ever rented from! Go see them for a fun vaca.

Love this place

When I was a younger man in my teens and 20s, I had the pleasure of dealing with Chuck Shields, the patriarch of the family. Then as I grew older, I started dealing with Brett more and more now at 53 years old the Shields family has help me buy and sell at least five boats , and has provided marina services to my family for now over 35 years. Quality operation, quality service! Everyone who works here has always had customer service in mind. I love these guys, in fact, we bought our last boat and sold our old boat in April 2023. They made the transaction, easy, seamless, and painless. Brett literally took care of all of the registration paperwork, safety, and seaworthiness checks. I can absolutely, 100% recommend Shields Marina.

easy, no hassle rental of a pontoon. If you can drive a car, you can drive a pontoon. Well worth the money, had a great day out on the gulf.

ABSOLUTELY a great place to shop I bought a new outboard moter after dealing with a few other places and salesman I found a listing at Sheilds the prompt return call came just a few minutes after I sent an email saying I was interested I deal with marinas every day having been in the charter boat industry for 40 years so I know the business I could not be happier about my purchase they were all over it getting together all parts necessary to install it I didn’t have to do anything but sit back they hit it out of the park with the customer service thanks again Brett and the Sheilds team 👍😎

Boats are horrible to rent! I don’t know how the FWC hasn’t stepped in on this. Definitely not sea worthy the damn pontoon boat about sunk on us after the guy said they welded it back up. Apparently he didn’t do a good enough job, because our rental damn near sunk on us three miles away from the place, all they did was wanting to charge me for the POS boats.

We've had our boats at Shields for the last 18 years. Their owner and staff never fail to provide outstanding service!

The pontoon was a bit beaten up, was a challenge to get seating for everyone. I would ask for a "newer" one, order or reserve early.

We recently attended a boat festival and had a great time. Easy to navigate with the ability to explore old historical boats. Parking was free.

Do not rent a boat from this marina. Not worth it! These rentals barely float. There aren't enough seats to fit the number of people who are on the boat (they put 2 beat up tailgate chairs to make up for it). The 2-stroke motor leaks oil into the water! - I get that 2-stroke motors do that, but they can replace the motors they use on their boats. NONE of the electronics work - no depth finder, gas gauge, or radio. If you're offering beat up, crappy boats, don't keep raising your prices. TERRIBLE marina. They don't deserve your money.

I rented a kayak from here and I can honestly tell you that this place is great.
I sometimes find that marinas that are as nice as Shields are expensive and not very friendly but this place sets the bar high.
My Kayak rental was only $5 per hour and a 10lb bag of ice was $1.
They also have a nice selection of rental boats too that are priced very reasonably.
I'll be coming back here for sure!!!
