BLUE ANGELS HOMECOMING SHOW
The 2024 Blue Angels Homecoming Show is Friday and Saturday, November 1 & 2 at NAS Pensacola and is FREE and open to the public. Gates open at 8:00 AM, and visitors may use either gate. On-land spectators are encouraged to bring their own seating as paid seating is sold out.
The air show begins at 9:30 AM both Friday and Saturday. The Thunderbirds will fly at 12:00, and the Blue Angels will fly at approximately 2:00 on Friday and Saturday, weather permitting. If the air show gets canceled due to the weather, there will be no alternate date.
For more information you can go to: https://www.naspensacolaairshow.com/.
With the show at NAS, boaters will be able to see virtually all the air show by anchoring either in the bay or in Grand Lagoon near the base. This is a great opportunity for Marina customers to see the spectacular show with less hassle than the summer show.
KEEP YOUR BOAT IN TOP RUNNING SHAPE
With the off-season here, if you won’t be on your boat often, it’s a good time to inquire about our monthly RUN AND WASH service for $60/month. With this service, we will launch your boat and start it, let it get to temperature, then do a quick rinse to get any dust off the inside. Running your engines monthly helps maintain the engines and batteries. If you are interested in this service, please call the Marine Office at 850-492-0555.
MARINA RENTAL ACCOMMODATIONS
The Marina has both an on-site one bedroom apartment and a three bedroom waterfront house (the Heron House) available for rent on a short-term basis. The rental of both the apartment and the house is handled by By the Sea Vacation Rentals. Complete information and reservations can be found here:

As part of our remodeling much of our seating is now “all weather”. Even on cold days, the heated bar area seats over 65 and is nice and cozy while maintaining the great view. Don’t let a little cool or wet weather keep you away!
