The St. Pete area offers a wide selection of great marinas, but if you’re looking for quick access to the Gulf of Mexico without having to go through any channels, be sure to check out the Pass-A-Grille Marina in St. Pete Beach.
On Florida’s west coast, Pass-A-Grille marina is the premier Yamaha outboard key dealer and warranty service center featuring Yamaha parts and accessories. It offers a variety of services to boaters, including yearly maintenance and repairs, repower of outboards, high and dry storage, fuel, transient boat slips, bait, and ice.
The Bobelis family has run the marina over the past 20 years. A cycle of family members have worked at the marina throughout that time. Daina Glavinskas, a niece of the family, grew up in the marina and on the docks. After graduating from Florida Gulf Coast University in 2019, she returned home to help manage all daily operations. Now as general manager, Glavinskas seeks to maintain the integrity of the marina to keep the longstanding success of the family business alive. “We’ve had the same head service technician and forklift driver for over 20 years,” she says, “so everyone who comes here can be assured of great service and a great experience as well.”

Boaters in Florida and throughout the United States appreciate the Pass-A-Grille Marina’s prices and selection of Yamaha outboard motors, generators, parts, and accessories. The business is an Authorized Yamaha Outboard Motor Warranty Service Center with certified technicians on staff.
Ryan Miles, head technician and service manager, has over 20 years of certified experience. “Yamaha parts are readily available straight from the source,” he says. “That means we can turn around any repair job faster to get you back out on the water.” With many loyal customers returning, he goes out of his way to make sure they are satisfied. Customers agree that the repair services are top notch. “I do business with these guys from South Carolina,” client Martin Little says, “because they are that good.”
