Robbie's Marina Live Cam

The History

Robbie’s Marina, a cornerstone of the Islamorada experience, holds a rich and storied history that dates back to the early 1970s. The marina began as a small fishing outpost, established by Robbie and Mona Matheson. What started as a humble endeavor has grown into a vibrant hub for fishing, boating, and ecotourism. Its journey from a modest dock to a must-visit Florida Keys destination exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit and the symbiotic relationship between nature and community that defines the region.

The iconic story of Robbie’s Marina truly began when Robbie rescued an injured tarpon, lovingly named "Scarface." This act of kindness laid the foundation for the marina's signature attraction: feeding the tarpon. Over the years, this activity has become a quintessential part of visiting Islamorada, with locals and tourists alike marveling at the graceful yet powerful fish that gather near the docks. The story of Scarface not only brought the marina recognition but also underscored its role in fostering connections between humans and marine life.
