'Destination' marina planned for neighborhood near downtown Jax - Jacksonville Business Journal

For years, Jacksonville-based superyacht captain Rob Crocker has looked around for a site where he and his wife could establish a marina, with the couple browsing listings across the state in search of the perfect spot.

“We want to make it affordable,” Rob Crocker said. “If you can’t afford a pontoon boat or a little small boat, we’re going to offer kayaks or paddle boards or even just a place to fish.” “That’s kinda of where I gravitate back to, for obvious reasons,” he said. “Traveling in the Gulf of Mexico with the oil rigs isn’t as exciting as going to the Caribbean or the Bahamas or New England.”

“We want to become a destination, which we feel the Jacksonville area desperately needs,” Rob Crocker said.
