MARINA TEAM
Taylor Fitzsimmons GENERAL MANAGER
Taylor is a Maryland native, recently relocated to Florida, and has been boating since he was in diapers. Growing up on the Chesapeake Bay, he started working at a local marina at 15 years old and used his boat to commute to work. He has 12 years in the marina industry and has managed marinas in Maryland, Connecticut, New York and now Florida! When he is not at the marina, Taylor enjoys hunting, fishing, going to the gym, reading and spending time with his family.
Cathy Chapman
ASSOCIATE GENERAL MANAGER
Deremer Studios
Cathy thanks her experience in the restaurant and yachting industries for providing a natural segway into marina management. Growing up overseas with Dutch grandparents, the family eventually returned to Fernandina, hometown to her dad and his parents. Cathy loves having family who lives within walking distance and riding her bike to work when possible. She looks forward to seeing the Fernandina team reach its goals and grow along with Oasis. Fun fact: She works out at Crossfit, which has a language of its own such as double-unders and toes-to-bar, and her next goal is muscle ups!

PORT PERSONALITIES
TAYLOR FITZSIMMONS
GENERAL MANAGER Fernandina Harbor Marina Fernandina Beach, FL
What is the best compliment a boater said about your marina? “You have excellent dockhands!!! They knew just how to handle us getting in. Love the new docks, too!” There’s nothing better as a manager than to know that your staff is providing next-level service at all times.
What is the number one attraction you would recommend for first-time visitors to your area? Downtown Fernandina Beach is beautiful and offers a variety of shops and eateries, but if you can make it to the beach you will fall in love!
What is the most important item to always keep on a boat? Life jackets!
Describe the perfect meal. What would you eat and where would you be? What brought you to this marina? I’ve been working in the marina business since I was 15, and I’ve been with Oasis since May of 2018. In that time, I have overseen operations of marinas in Maryland, Connecticut and New York. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to move south, and Fernandina Harbor was the perfect fit.
What is the most fun part of your work? I grew up living on the water, and boating is in my DNA. It doesn’t get much better than being able to spend every workday in that environment.
Describe the first time you remember being on a boat. Living on the water as a child, I was exposed to boating quite early and often. I remember fishing with my dad on the Chesapeake Bay when I was only four years old. Crabbing and fishing for rockfish were regular activities for me as a child.
Maryland crabs and corn! Possibly a steak and vegetables afterward if I have room. I would be eating on a patio or pier on the water surrounded by friends and family.
What is the strangest watercraft you’ve seen cruise into the marina? Self-propelled wake gliders. These amazing, motorized surf boards glide above the water at up to 30 miles per hour.
You work in paradise. Where do you go on vacation? I’ve never been out of the country, but would love to vacation in Ireland, Italy and the Dominican Republic.
What’s the best safety tip you can give to a new boater? “Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast!” In other words, take your time and focus on the task at hand whether it be docking, driving, etc., and you will have less room for error. Fernandina Harbor Marina

The Isle of Eight Flags Many Loves
Deremer Studios
&
By Heather Burke
Amelia Island has been adored and fought over for centuries. Explorers’ discoveries led to European countries taking possession of the region, followed by battles and new conquests, and plenty of drama since the 1500s. Eight different flags — from France, Spain, Great Britain, Spain (again), the Republic of Florida, the Green Cross of Florida, Mexico, the Confederate States of America, and finally the United States — have been raised above this beautiful barrier island that has earned its nickname “Isle of Eight Flags.”
Fernandina Beach is the crown jewel of Amelia Island with its 50-block national historic district dating back to 1685. It is delightfully welcoming and easily walkable from the waterside Front Street where Fernandina Harbor Marina sits, proceeding with orderly perpendicular streets from 2nd to 20th Street. Brick sidewalks draped with stately trees invite you into Fernandina’s fascinating seaside village. Local boutiques, cafes and pubs now flank Fernandina’s Centre Street and its attractive blocks that branch beyond. First order when visiting Amelia is a tour of Fernandina’s historic downtown with Amelia Island Museum of History to dive into the centuries-old architectural and anecdotal details. Even Fernandina’s municipal offices are spectacular: the 1909 post office is inspired by Florence, Italy’s Medici Palace; Nassau County Courthouse is 1891 revival style; and the 1878 county jail now holds the Eight Flags Museum captive.
Amelia sits proudly and prominently at Florida’s northeastern corner, viewing Georgia to its north, the Atlantic Ocean to its east, and the Intracoastal Waterway to its west. The island is 13 miles long and 4 miles wide, blessed with broad beaches, brilliant waterways and beautiful tropical landscapes. 12

The name “Fernandina,” Amelia’s primary seaside town, honors Spanish King Ferdinand VII. The island’s name “Amelia” was established in 1702 by British explorer James Oglethorpe in tribute to the daughter of King George II, Oglethorpe later became Georgia’s first Governor in 1732.
Just strolling Fernandina’s streets brings you to superb estates made of tabby (crushed seashell concrete) and delightful wood gingerbread houses. The Florida House, the state’s oldest
AMELIA ISLAND operating hotel since 1857, was built by David Yulee, Florida’s cross-state railroad visionary. You can see his bronze image at the 1899 train depot and waterfront welcome center.
Footsteps from Fernandina Harbor Discover History and Happenings
The centerpiece 1884 City Mart is impressive, now home to Fernandina’s Fantastic Fudge, so well worth seeing and splurging on sweets. Dozens of art galleries and antique shops tell more of Amelia’s colorful story, such as Eight Flags Antiques, which is laced with nautical swag and pirate plunder. Four-legged friends will find Red Bones Dog Bakery and Boutique to be a real tail wagger. Ladies, pop in to Twisted Sister for cheery accessories and fashion treasures you didn’t know you needed.
Just steps from Fernandina Harbor Marina, you are in the heart of Amelia’s downtown historic district, a pleasant stroll to unique shops, galleries, inviting eateries serving Fernandina’s famed shrimp and seafood, and popular pubs frequented by locals. Need provisions? Amelia Island Coffee and Hola! Cuban Café serve breakfast goodies and a jolt of delicious java. The Palace Saloon sells wine by the bottle to go. Two local breweries craft their own microbeers: First Love Brewing and Mocama Beer Co., both on 8th Street. Not only is Fernandina Harbor Marina centrally located to downtown, from marina-side Front Street you can hop aboard a boat charter to tour Amelia River and St. Marys, rent a kayak or paddleboard, or go fishing. You can also rent bikes to ride to the beach, state parks and a plethora of island trails.
Deremer Studios
Hampton Inn and Suites Amelia Island is ideal for a stay, located right in town overlooking the marina and the ICW. Ask for a water view, upper floor room at this modern spacious Hilton property to witness the gorgeous sunsets. Ritz Carlton and Omni also have luxury resorts on the island with spas, golf and beach access as first-class amenities.
Many marina docks are a long walk from the waterfront to reach restaurants or shops. Not so for Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, mile 716 of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and the gateway to Florida for boaters heading south.

ABUNDANT ATTRACTIONS
By Heather Burke
Amelia Island is abundant with recreational parks, nature pre-
serves and fantastic places to play. What’s the best way to greet a new day at Amelia? Watching Florida’s first sunrise from the vantage point of North Beach, overlooking the Atlantic waves breaking on this dramatic stretch of quartz sand. Beaches hug the entire 13-mile stretch of Amelia Island’s eastern coastline.
Another gem is to kayak or paddleboard Egans Creek, across the island from downtown Fernandina east following Centre Street toward the beach. Locally owned Riptide Watersports offers guided trips, stand-up paddleboards and kayaks, and will even transport you from downtown and the marina to the creek two miles away.
Florida’s northern-most state park, Fort Clinch, is a must-see. This 2,178-acre preserve graces the entire northerly cape of Amelia Island with pristine sand dunes, beaches, nature walks and bike paths, campgrounds, and the famous 1847 fort. The three-mile park entrance drive is best appreciated on bicycles, as you ride under a magical canopy of brilliant palms and live oak cloaked in silvery epiphyte (most call it Spanish moss). Perched at the park and the island’s northern tip is the Civil War fort with informative tours conducted by park rangers. Massive cannons protect this brick-fortified bunker and present peaceful views of St. Marys River and Cumberland Island, Georgia, just across the bay. Passing back through the verdant

Egan’s pristine salt marsh estuary in the shadows of Florida’s oldest lighthouse, 1839 Amelia Island Light, is buzzing with native birds that swoop and fish amid the swaying spartina grass. As you ply the calm waters, the moss-laden oaks along
the shores provide shade. It’s serene and relaxing, as long you stay steady on your personal watercraft. As you paddle along this lush wildlife sanctuary, you glimpse the grand land preserve of Fort Clinch State Park.

AMELIA ISLAND park grounds, a stop for a beach stroll beyond the mounding sand-protecting dunes completes your park admission adventure. You might even get lucky with a sea turtle spotting, as this is their slow-mo playground.
Deremer Studios
On your way back toward Fernandina, a scenic detour to Fernandina’s “Old Town” brings you to the only remaining Spanish town plat in Florida and the Western Hemisphere. Dating back to 1811, this was a modern “neighborhood” design of its time. More trivia: The Captain’s House that sits on a sweeping lawn plaza overlooking the ICW is famed as the home set of the 1980 film about Pippi Longstocking. If you dig graveyards, Bosque Bello Cemetery nearby is a hauntingly historic host of aged tombstones dating back to 1798 and wonderful old trees. American Beach on the southeast coast is unique, as it was established in 1935 as the United States’ first racially diverse beach. It was founded by Abraham Lincoln Lewis, who was President of Afro American Life Insurance (in 1901, most companies would not insure Black people). Lewis established a place where African American families could enjoy a day at the beach, of sand and surf and social, without discrimination. Lewis became Florida’s first black millionaire with his insurance success, creating coverage for local families.
To the island’s south is Amelia Island State Park, with 200 acres of wildlife sanctuary, bike paths, access to George Crady Fishing Pier, and the only Florida beach offering horseback riding with Kelly Seahorse Ranch. As Amelia hems the Florida-Georgia state line, a boat tour from Fernandina Harbor affords amazing views of the convergence of Amelia and St. Marys rivers. Aboard Amelia River Cruise you will learn of Amelia’s history from the pirate and plundering days to today’s shrimping industry. Keen-eyed passengers witness the wild horses on Cumberland Island, manatees, dolphins, eagles and a view of Fort Clinch and Amelia Lighthouse that can’t be replicated. Golfers can have a swing at several PGA-caliber courses on Amelia. Located mid-island near Summer Beach is the Ritz Carlton’s Golf Club of America, which is legendary among tour golfers as a resort course rich with shorebirds, southern trees and ball-thieving marshes. It’s quite challenging, but lunch at the Ritz is your reward. Omni Amelia Island Resort is home to the 18-hole Pete Dye-designed Oak Marsh course stretching amid salt marsh and towering old oaks, and Tom Fazio’s Long Point course hosts plush greenery and wildlife along the ocean.

Amelia’s broad Main Beach is an amazing sandy Atlantic shorefront for sun bathing, beach walking or surfing on the strong sea current, or you can simply enjoy picnicking at Main Beach’s park. A fat-tire bike would be boss to ride the seemingly endless strand here; however, traditional bicycle tires are wiggly and could result in a sandy spill.
For far less hazards and no championship pressure, putt around at Gregor MacGregor’s Mini Golf for “links and drinks” in Fernandina Beach.

Food Tells Fernandina’s Tales By Heather Burke
It’s called the Isle of Eight Flags but Amelia Island might also be dubbed the Land of Infinite Forks. As the island’s center and culinary focal point, Fernandina offers up diverse dining, with a nod to its many chapters in history. You find everything from Spanish and Portuguese cuisine, sushi, Mexican, French and Italian dishes, along with freshfrom-the-docks seafood spots and a few beefy steakhouses.
España is the pick for authentic Portuguese and Spanish flavors in Fernandina. Sitting amid a beautiful courtyard is heavenly as you savor tapas of calamari and shrimp paired with house-made sangria. The paella is fresh and fabulous, as is chef’s daily catch creation. (904-261-7700) Burlingame serves artful dishes made of fresh and sustainable ingredients with flair. The chef’s menu ranges from charred octopus and cioppino to risotto and osso buco. (904-432-7671) 16

Salty Pelican on Front Street is the perfect place to enjoy salty air, sea views and a casual cocktail. Go to the top deck for a pelican’s view of the ICW with yachts coming and going. An occasional train passing through might shake the ice cubes in your glass, and the sunsets are spectacular. Salty Pelican isn’t fancy, but it offers daily happy hour deals, roasted oysters, shrimp dishes and seafood potpie. The chef promotes “you hook it, we cook it” if you scored fish today. (904-277-3811)
AMELIA ISLAND DINING Joe’s 2nd Street Bistro has a picturesque patio and dining room serving surf to turf, bouillabaisse, personalized steaks, lobster, lamb or duck, with an authentic southern twist of grits and gumbo on the extensive menu. Locals love it here. (904-321-2558) T-Ray’s Burger Station dishes up juicy burgers and diner fare in a converted gas station with a great vibe. T-Ray’s serves breakfast as well, including classic biscuits and gravy. (904-261-6310) Wicked Bao is super enjoyable and trendy, serving up steamy bao buns, pot stickers, and more Asian and vegetarian treats in a cool casual indoor bistro and outdoor patio. (904-775-5577) Pablo’s is where to go for a Mexican fix of margaritas and homey south of the border fare. Sip your tequila concoction inside or out at this fun fiesta. (904-261-0049) Akari Sushi is the best place on the island for sushi, sashimi, noodles, poke and rice. (904-844-2496) Brett’s Waterway Café has the ideal deck for a drink overlooking Fernandina Harbor Marina. It’s all about location, so just enjoy the sunset and super yachts while you sip your cocktail. (904-261-2660) Still can’t decide where to dine? Take the Amelia Island Downtown Tasting Tour to sample several eateries in a fun, informative format.
For Drinks in Fernandina, Here’s Where to Belly up to the Bar PJD’s Wine & Beer Garden rocks with live music and locals in a relaxed garden patio bar. (904-310-9314) Palace Saloon on Centre Street is Florida’s oldest operating saloon since 1903. It’s loaded with character, artifacts and pirate booty in an authentic brick cornerstone haberdashery. Palace also sells specialty wines by the bottle to go. (844-441-2444) The Boat House’s vibrant outdoor space is popular with the natives for cocktails such as the bartender’s Rock the Boat and Seas the Day. A wide-ranging menu of sharable dishes rounds out an evening at this new-in-2020 sophisticated setting. (904-321-1234) Green Turtle Tavern is a relaxed, beachy bar in town (think Key West). It’s welcoming no matter where you hail from, and they often host live music. (904-321-2324) The Principal’s Office Bar in the historic Amelia Schoolhouse Inn (circa 1886) is a novel concept, and being summoned to the principal’s office has never tasted so good. Happy hour and live music are often part of your after-class detention at this first school on the island. (904-310-6264)
