The Canaveral Barge Canal Extension departs the Waterway/Indian River at statute mile 894 east through a well marked channel at AICW marker #67, just north of the Florida A1A Bridge and continues east across the Banana River to Cape Canaveral Inlet. Port Canaveral Yacht Club is on the south side of the Inner Reach of the Canal.

Helping to deliver a friend’s sailing cat from VA to FL we entered the Port Canaveral Inlet, stopping at a wonderful facility between the Ocean Club and Cape Marina – the Port Canaveral Yacht Club for a night. They are open to transients, have incredibly reasonable (almost cheap!) rates – especially when compared to their neighbors. They have a bar onsite and a restaurant too (not always open – check in advance). We came in at around 5pm and were welcomed by the dockmaster (who is also a cruiser). We didn’t have a hose for water so he grabbed one from somebody for us. They then invited us up to the bar where we drank Guiness and Margaritas and partook of some food they had laid out for club members (most excellent stuffed baked potatoes, salads and brownies!). The bartender, Jeremy, most graciously drove us to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Afterwards, we took the opportunity to stretch our legs (after 3 days offshore) and walked the 3/4 mile or so back to the yacht club. They also have nice shower facilities. Anyway, good facility, good location, excellent rates and really nice people. What more do you need?
