Centered on the Location of This Marina:



























On May 4 & 5 diesel price was $2.16 including tax. The rate for transient dckage was $1.25 per foot, plus tax. A $50.00 cash deposit for the gate key. Pumpout was a $5.00 token that you have to buy in the office. The fuel dock and marina offices are under construction and you have to walk to each trailer to pay the bills and the heads and showers were spartan. The feral cat population is dwindling, but they do get on the boats at night and there are still a couple of buzzards around, it seems the cats and the buzzards live harmoniously. Once you figure out the bus schedule, it is an easy trip to Winn Dixie, CVS, Post Office, etc on Key Biscayne. The best part of the marina is the chance to buy fresh fish off the back of the charter boats on the commericial dock – Mahi Mahi was $10.00 per pound and swordfish was $15.00. Lots of people on the piers on weekends, but quiet the the rest of the week. Be sure to organize your time in order to return the gate key when the office is open if you want to get an early start.
