Centered on the Location of This Marina:
Titusville has a new mooring field, the rates are $15 /day or $290 a month. There is still plenty of room to anchor north of the mooring field. The staff there [Titusville City Marina] has always been friendly and still goes out of it’s way to serve its customers. A short walk from the marina is the Southern Room bar on Washington St or the Crackerjack out on the pier under the bridge. Both of these are good to spend a few hours in enjoying the ambiance.

We had an excellent experience with the Titusville Marina and crew (2x). We would definitely return.
People considering this mooring field need to be aware it has an uninterrupted 2 mile fetch NE. When the cold fronts come through, this place gets bouncy.

We had a GREAT stay at Titusville Municipal Marina. They are running a fantastic special right now that is buy 1 night, get 1 night free so it ended up costing us $.80 cents/foot/night (plus $6 a night for 30 AMP electric).
The docks are fixed docks but because there is almost no tidal flow here, it didn’t matter. Clean shower facilities. Laundry is ridiculously inexpensive ($1 wash, $.50 cents dry!). There a a public bus ($1.25) that picks up at the corner of Marina Rd and US 1 that runs to Wal-Mart on the hour.
LOTS of manatee in the marina, we had about 3 drinking the dripping water off the dock when we were filling our water tanks. Fun to watch them.
Special note to dog owners, there is a brand new dog park located at Marina Park adjacent to the marina (north side). It has a big and small dog park and is a nice facility.
We definitely recommend a stop here, the staff were friendly as were the boaters who live at the marina (invited us to their Saturday night pot-luck), we have on occasion not received a friendly vibe from the live-aboard communities at some other marinas but here, the folks were extremely welcoming.
Great stop. Good, friendly folks with well maintained docks. This was our second stop and we’ll stop again.
We recently spent a couple of nights at Titusville City Marina…weathered a strong front there, and we were in slip B-82…we did experience a little roll…but it was not bothersome… We found the facility well maintained and well run…very helpful staff.
Don’t tell anyone I said this…but if you go to this link… you will find a good deal on their marina….

Basically….its a deal they have going until June 30, 2010… if you stay 3 nights (consecutively) and you mention the deal….you only pay for 2 of the nights and the 3rd is free!!
We were very pleased with our stay there, and their new docks are built very well.
We have only stayed at Titusville Marina once (in 2004). The facility had been improved greatly since then. We have, however tied up at the marina for a short stay during the day to go the the grocery (Save-a-Lot – not much variety and bring your own bags) and this time to fill our propane tank. The marina staff are helpful and we ave never been charged for these short stays. We usually then go on through the bridge before 3:15 PM and anchor at Addison Point.

Cruising News: Heading South from Smyrna today we had a nice sail on the Indian River in a fresh northerly wind. We had planned to anchor off Titusville, but since the forecast was for building northerly winds, we elected to go into the Titusville Municipal Marina. The winds built as forecast, but we are questioning our decision to use this marina as opposed to anchoring. This is the roughest stay I’ve ever encountered at a dock. We are on B dock one slip in from the bulkhead where you would expect the best protection. There is no breakwall protecting against north / northeast wave action. A fellow boater who keeps his boat here says that the city won\\\’t put in a breakwall because of protection for the Manatee’s. Anyhow if you are traveling this part of the waterway, you might look for a more comfortable place to stay in strong northerly winds.

Cruising News: We agree with the many who have posted, this is a well run facility. However, the floating docks acted as wave attenuators on B dock. The fixed piers attenuate nada. From midnight till noon we have been rockin’ and rollin’ in 18-28 kts from the NNE. I would recommend this place, but I’d ask for a slip as far inside as your draft will allow. A marina owner (NJ) slipped next to us agrees.
