Hudson Beach Marina

What Hudson Beach Marina does

Hudson Beach Marina is a privately held, full-service marina established circa 2004 and operated from 6625 Clark St, Hudson, Florida, less than a quarter mile from Hudson Beach with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. The company operates with approximately eight employees under local ownership (Mike is identified as the owner and Tyler as Marina Manager) and serves recreational boaters, fishing enthusiasts, and seasonal visitors across Pasco County, Hernando County, and the broader Florida Gulf Coast. The company has no disclosed external funding, parent entity, or formal corporate subsidiary structure, and ownership shares a sister property, The Inn on the Gulf, a waterfront restaurant, bar, and motel on Hudson Beach.

The marina's service portfolio is organized around five integrated lines: Hi & Dry elevated rack storage with capacity for up to 70 boats; wet-slip docking with 20+ slips equipped with water and electricity hookups; dockside fueling of ethanol-free gasoline and off-road diesel ($4.50/gallon and $3.61/gallon respectively as of November 1, 2025); on-site certified marine mechanic and boat repair services for outboard and inboard engines; and a fully stocked ship store offering bait, ice, fuel additives, safety gear, and beverages. Supporting infrastructure includes 24/7 security camera surveillance, freshwater rinse-down stations, a pump-out station, and professional launch and retrieval performed by named staff.

Revenue is generated through recurring storage subscriptions, transactional fuel sales, project-based mechanical work, and merchandise retail, with pricing disclosed only for fuel and storage rates handled on a quote basis. Customer acquisition is local and direct, relying on the company's website, Google reviews, Facebook presence, blog content, and word-of-mouth referrals; all sales and service interactions occur at the physical marina or via phone. No external funding, M&A, or AI/technology capability has been disclosed.
