Reasons to Rent a Boat Slip



Convenience – for busy boaters, or those who need to travel long distances to spend time on their boats, convenience is a necessity. That is why our marina slips may be the best way to go. You drive your family and gear to the marina dock, load the boat, cast off the lines and go.


Location- Astor Bridge Marina is at Great Location on the St. John’s river. Just a 20 minute boat ride to Sliver Glen. Or head a little further North to Lake George.

Security – our marina slips can provide peace of mind that your boat is safe and secure. Our protected marina is in a bay. During the hours the marina is open, you will find management on duty to watch the facility and keep an eye on your boat and slip.


Facilities and Amenities – Our Marina offers fresh water for filling your water tanks or rinsing your boat, electricity connections and a small ship store for your needs. We offer lodging, and a restaurant on site. We also have fuel service and pump out, so that you can fill up conveniently before heading out or as you come in to port.

Visit De Leon Springs State Park



Native Americans visited and used these springs as long as 6,000 years ago. In the early 1800s, settlers built sugar and cotton plantations that were sacked by Seminole Indians during the Second Seminole War. By the 1880s the springs had become a winter resort, and tourists were promised "a fountain of youth impregnated with a deliciously healthy combination of soda and sulphur." The swimming area is adjacent to a beautiful, shady picnic ground. Canoe, kayak and paddleboat rentals are available for a paddling tour of the spring and spring run. De Leon Springs flows into the Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge where canoeists and kayakers can explore 18,000 acres of lakes, creeks and marshes. At The Old Spanish Sugar Mill Restaurant, guests can make their own pancakes at the table. This is a very popular park on weekends. To ensure entrance into the park, we recommend arriving early.
