What is the story behind Marlin Bay Resort & Marina?

Marlin Bay Resort is a stunning waterside wedding venue offering a picture-perfect location to swap vows and say "I do" in Marathon Shores, Florida. This private gated resort offers couples a tranquil and personalized experience they will remember forever. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, they can enjoy all the comforts of an upscale home with luxurious amenities.

Facilities and Capacity

Two can become one beside the state-of-the-art 73-slip marina at Marlin Bay Resort. The area will be decorated to match the wedding celebration's theme and color scheme, and the jaw-dropping scenery makes it the ideal location for wedding party pictures. It also provides a beautiful backdrop for cocktail hour as guests share a drink and mingle with each other between the ceremony and reception. The resort features three- and four-bedroom luxury homes adjacent to the marina so newlyweds and their loved ones can remain together throughout the wedding weekend. Each residence provides open layouts, high-end decor, a heated pool, a clubhouse, and a game room, so guests will find plenty to do during their downtime.

Services Offered

Along with all the amenities provided on-site, Marlin Bay Resort lies just minutes from the local shops, state parks, and other fun-filled activities. Of course, some people just want to chill out and enjoy their time in the sun, and the opportunities on that front are endless. Wedding guests can take a boat ride, stroll by the shore, or lie near the pool to work on their tan. On top of that, the in-house team at Marlin Bay Resort will be free to offer expert guidance and advice when needed.

Perfect Venue created our Dream wedding

Marlin Bay was the absolute perfect venue and helped us create the wedding of our dreams. Maddison and April were incredible to work with. The scenic property gave us the perfect waterfront ceremony where we didn't have to walk through sand but still gave the beachy, marina front vibes. The pool deck area created the best reception possible. The entire property gives you the Keys vibe with scenic areas for pictures and Spanish architecture adding a touch of elegance. We are a local Marathon couple and work in Resorts. This property provided our exact vision and gave us the upscale wedding we wanted at a fraction of the price. Marlin Bay is truly a hidden gem delivering scenery, service, elegance, tropical vibes, and all around hospitality. We truly could not have asked for a better venue and better staff to work with. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Maddison and April for making our dreams come true!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
