Reservations for the new Met Park Marina will open at 9 a.m. July 31, the city of Jacksonville announced, with reservation dates starting Aug. 12.
The marina borders the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences and adjacent One Tower Court across East Bay Street from EverBank Stadium.
In a July 27 news release, the city said reservations for the 78-slip marina will be on a first-come, first-served basis, with availability for special events, short-term dock-and-dine and overnight stays.
Boaters making reservations for Aug. 12 can obtain overnight stays starting the prior evening, the release said.
Reservations can be made at metparkmarina.com.
Completion of the marina comes as the Jacksonville Jaguars prepare for their first home game of the 2026 NFL preseason, scheduled to begin Aug. 21.
F3 Marina and Shanna Collective, a real estate and design firm founded by Jaguars owner Shad Khan’s daughter, Shanna Khan, operate the marina.
Iguana Investments, Shad Khan’s real estate development company, developed the Shipyards project with Shanna Collective.
The $2 million marina project involved demolition of existing structures and replacement of the dock.
The rebuilt marina, which is being funded by the city and built by Iguana Investments, was designed to accommodate vessels 30 to 400 feet in length. Two water taxi slips also were part of the design.
The city says the marina offers electrical power, water hookup, pump out capabilities, marine gas and diesel fuel, Wi-Fi and a Ship Shop with boating supplies, grab-and-go food items, drinks and retail merchandise.
In May 2025, the city issued permits for Auld & White Constructors LLC to build the Jacksonville Shipyards marina support building and its back-of-house for a total project cost of $5.6 million.
Along with the announcement about the marina taking reservations, the city said it would make rafting docks available along Metropolitan Park for boaters docking for special events and games. Reservations for those docks can be made at https://fljacksonweb.myvscloud.com/webtrac/web/
