All outlets on a boat need to be GFCI protected, regardless of whether your marina's connections are. You can get a GFCI circuit breaker if the outlets are on the same circuit - and if they are wired properly, you can install a GFCI outlet in the first outlet in the string (closest to the power source). If you don't have a CB in your shore power system you should have that as well - and it should break both sides of the circuit, not just one like many residential breakers do.
