Bahia Mar West Marina

A Great Place to Stay, From Sarasota Bay

About

Bowlees Creek Marina is now

Bahia Mar West Marina, LLC.

Nestled off of the beautiful Sarasota BayBahia Mar West Marina is located along Florida’s Gulf Coast; south of Tampa and north of Sarasota, in “the friendly city” of Bradenton, FL. Conveniently located near SRQ airport, shopping, peaceful parks, fine dining, arts, entertainment, and just 10 minutes from the bustling downtown, Bahia Mar West is a publicly accessible waterfront facility that offers access to the water and provides space to dock and store boats amongst many other amentities. 

In 2020, this establishment was bought by new owners who saw Bowlees Creek Marina’s potential. With a vision to provide both locals and boaters a new “must go” destination, it was rapidly rebranded as Bahia Mar West. Although it’s just the beginning— many updates, improvements, and amenities have been added.

Bahia Mar West Marina includes a portion of State Leased Land for which a minimum of 90% of the wet slips are open to the general public on a first come first server basis.

Navigating The Water 

Use NOAA Chart 11425.

From the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway at red day beacon 16, set a course of 41° for about 1.5 miles to intercept the red day beacon 2, near the entrance of Bowlees Creek. From here, follow in green day beacon 3, green day beacon 5, red day beacon 6, and then red day beacon 8 into the creek and past the bend to port on entry. Follow the channel further to reach Bahia Mar West Marina. Depths in the approach channel and Bowlees Creek itself average around 5 feet, though you will want to keep an eye on your depth sounder often, especially in the approach channel, as conditions can change.
