Fuel, Bait, Ice, and Ship Store Essentials on Stock Island
When you are planning a Key West water day, the practical stops matter: fuel, bait, ice, drinks, snacks, and a place to handle the quick dockside details before you head out. Sunset Marina’s ship store and fuel dock are set up for exactly that kind of stop on Stock Island.
The ship store is open 7am to 6pm, 7 days a week. Fuel pricing and bait availability can change, so the best move is simple: call ahead before you make the run.
Fuel at Sunset Marina
Sunset Marina lists Rec 90 unleaded gasoline and diesel at the fuel dock. Because fuel prices change, the website does not try to quote a live price. Call 305-780-7176 for the current Rec 90 or diesel price before you arrive.
If you are also asking about dockage, mention fuel needs during the same call. The marina can help route your question to the right next step.
Bait and ice
The ship store lists frozen bait, live shrimp, live crabs, and live pinfish by availability. It also carries ice for boaters heading out or restocking at the marina.
Live bait and specific frozen bait items can move quickly, especially around active fishing days. Call ahead if bait availability will make or break your trip plan.
Ship store essentials
In addition to fuel, bait, and ice, Sunset Marina lists groceries, beer, wine, boating oils, and customer bathrooms. For visiting boaters, that means fewer separate stops before getting back on the water.
The Store & Fuel page gives the current approved overview of what is listed on the site. If you need a specific product, call before arrival.

If you are searching for boat slip rentals in Key West, the fastest way to get a useful answer is to call with the right vessel details in front of you. Availability can change, and final fit depends on more than dock length alone, so a short prepared call usually beats a long back-and-forth later.
Sunset Marina Key West lists 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 foot dock sizes, with floating docks in a protected cove on Stock Island. The marina can help with dockage questions, but the team still needs to match your boat, timing, utilities, and slip availability before confirming the right fit.
Details to have ready
Before you call, gather the basics the marina will need to understand your vessel and your stay.
- Vessel length overall, including swim platforms, pulpits, brackets, davits, and other extensions.
- Beam.
- Draft.
- Power needs.
- Arrival date and expected departure date.
- Rental type, such as daily, weekly, monthly, or longer-term dockage.
- Your name, phone number, and email.
- Any important arrival notes, such as timing, fuel needs, or pump-out questions.
Why length alone is not enough
A posted dock size is a starting point, not a final approval. A 30 foot dock, for example, still has to be considered with the vessel’s full waterline, overhangs, beam, draft, available utility setup, and what is open at the marina on the dates requested.
That is why the Boat Slips page is useful for planning, but the call is still important. The posted 2026 rate table gives you a clear sense of dock sizes and rental categories. The marina can then confirm final availability, vessel fit, booking fees, and any current notes that may affect the total.
What Sunset Marina offers dockside
Sunset Marina is a practical Stock Island marina with 120 floating docks in a protected cove. The site lists water hookups, electrical hookups, pump-out approved service, bathrooms, laundry, mailboxes, bicycle racks, security cameras, and nearby fuel, bait, ice, and ship store essentials.
The marina also has immediate Gulf access and easy Atlantic access, with a wide dredged access channel and a listed 6 ft minimum depth. Conditions and vessel fit can still vary, so call before arrival if draft or timing is a concern.
Ask about the current special
Sunset Marina is currently showing a 2026 Summer Special for long-term slip rentals only: 50% off the first month’s rent. Space is limited, and the marina needs to confirm availability and fit before anyone treats the offer as final.
Best next step
Use the rate table to plan, then call 305-780-7176 or send your slip details through the Contact page. If you also need fuel, bait, ice, or ship store items before heading out, review the Store & Fuel page and call ahead for current fuel pricing and bait availability.
