CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Marker 37 Marina on North Padre Island reopened Saturday morning, welcoming back fishermen, families, and community members after a fire swept through the area last week. The blaze destroyed dozens of boats, leaving visible damage across the marina, but operations are slowly returning to normal.
Despite the recent fire, the marina’s boat ramp, retail shop, and fish cleaning services have officially reopened according to a Facebook post. The popular Polynesian Bar is also back in operation, offering a place for visitors to relax and enjoy the waterfront once again.
Marina officials expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the community’s support during the recovery. “We are so excited to share that Marker 37 will reopen Saturday morning for some of our activities, and we truly can’t wait to see the marina come back to life!” the post read.
Boat Ramp & Retail Shop: Open from 7:00 AM
Fish Cleaning Services: Provided by Sunset Bait Co.
Polynesian Bar: Open from 11:00 AM to 5:30 PM
As repairs continue, visitors are asked to respect areas marked by orange fencing, which remain closed under Fire Marshal orders. Crews are working diligently to reopen the bait house and fuel pumps as soon as possible.
The marina concluded their message with a note of thanks: “Thank you for standing with us. We’re ready to welcome you back to Marker 37.”
