Things to do nearCypress Cove Marina
Cypress Cove Marina sits at the tip of Louisiana's boot, offering world-class fishing, direct Gulf access, and a true taste of the Mississippi Delta.
Cypress Cove Marina occupies a singular position in Louisiana's sportfishing world. Sitting at the end of Plaquemines Parish's long, narrow finger of land, it places boats within easy reach of the offshore oil platforms that double as artificial reefs, the shallow marsh passes teeming with speckled trout and redfish, and the deep blue water of the Gulf of Mexico. Few marinas in the country can offer that range of habitat within a single day on the water.
The marina provides fuel, boat launch facilities, and covered slips, making it a practical basecamp for multi-day fishing expeditions. Local fishing charters operating out of Cypress Cove Marina target everything from flounder and sheepshead in the nearshore marshes to yellowfin tuna and wahoo in the deep Gulf, giving visiting anglers remarkable flexibility. You can book fishing charters suited to your target species and experience level.
The surrounding delta landscape is itself a draw, a shifting world of marsh grass, open bays, and narrow bayous shaped continuously by the Mississippi River. Wildlife is abundant, with roseate spoonbills, brown pelicans, and osprey commonly spotted along the water. The nearby Venice Marina adds further services and a lively dock atmosphere just over a mile away.
For anyone serious about Gulf fishing or simply eager to experience Louisiana's raw, beautiful southern edge, Cypress Cove Marina is worth every mile of the drive.
7-day forecast
Chance of rainTips for visiting Cypress Cove Marina
Visit from April through October for peak offshore and inshore fishing, when yellowfin tuna, red snapper, and redfish are most active.
Book your charter boat well in advance, especially for spring and fall runs, as slips and guided trips fill up quickly among regulars.
Bring all your own provisions, including sunscreen, snacks, and drinking water, since services thin out considerably this far south of New Orleans.
Launch early in the morning to take advantage of calmer Gulf conditions and to reach offshore rigs before midday winds pick up.
Keep an eye out for dolphin pods near the river mouth, as bottlenose dolphins frequently follow shrimp boats and charter vessels through the passes.
