    • Loggerhead Club & Marina – Daytona Beach (Statute Mile 830)

      The Daytona Beach version of Loggerhead Club and Marinas used to be Caribbean Jacks. We have not stayed here since the changeover.

      8 May 2010.
      The charge for electricity was not optional. I tried to waive the service, exorbitant, for us at $7.50 to no avail. Our metered electricity usage is $.30/day. We have an icebox and no air conditioning or other heavy power draws. The excuse marinas are using these days for charging for a service you choose not to use is that it is not just for electricity but is a general `service’ charge for water, swimming pool, cruiser’s lounge, wi-fi access (only available in the lounge here), showers, etc. ‘“ what you thought was included in dockage, especially at marinas with high-end rates ‘“ and generally not used by us when in transit.
      It would be useful to note in the general description section whether the electricity charge is mandatory. We chose Loggerhead because it worked out to be cheaper for us than the nearby municipal marina, now run by Skipper Bud’s, which has a 30-foot minimum. It used to be simple knowing what it will cost to stay at a marina ‘“ multiply the length of your boat by the per foot rate. Now, marina rates seem to be drawn up by corporation lawyers focused on maximizing profits. No wonder folks want to anchor out whenever possible.
      Fair winds and following seas,
