We recently stayed at Loggerhead. The finger piers are long enough for us to take our 32 footer bow-in and still be able to step off the boat from the cockpit area. The 30 amp was available but ours was in use by our neighbor who plugged into his and ours too. They had no 50-30 adapters but we managed to stretch our cord to a vacant slip nearby.
The restaurant is lively and the burger was good. The pool and hot tub are suppossed to close at dusk but the dockmaster admitted that the evening guard might turn a blind eye (or be sleeping in his truck)
We walked to a Sunoco station where we could buy some sundry items. I couldn’t find another convenience store and the locals didn’t know of any other nearby either.
There are no other restaurants or shopping areas nearby. On our last visit to Daytona, we stayed at Halifax where we had more stores to visit.
Don’t want to start a whole big thing again, but…. We are at Halifax Harbor Marina, yesterday we took our Whaler over to Loggerhead just south of Marker 32 and had lunch at Caribbean Jack’s. After lunch I went in to the office and spoke to the Dockmaster. I inquired about the live aboard situation. I told her we had called several Loggerhead Marinas on our trip south and none would accept live aboards. She told me that each Loggerhead Marina is a separate entity a few do allow live aboards but most do not. They do here in Daytona. They charge a $50 per month live aboard fee, $65 a month for 30 amp and $85 a month for 50 amp. $8 per foot for boats up to 46 feet and $9.50 for boats over 46 feet. Those are their annual fees. If you just want to stay seasonal (min of 5 months) it is the same for electric and live aboard fee but the rate is $9.50 up to 46 and $11.00 for over 46 feet. They have a small swimming pool and you get 10% off at Caribbean Jacks restaurant. I did not inspect the laundry or bath houses, but the place looked very well kept. Dockmaster also told me that if you decide to visit another Loggerhead while at their marina, like further south, for a week or two, they pay the dock fee and you just pay your electric. Oh yeah, they provide cable and of course water. Wifi you would have to pay for separate. So that is the scoop from Daytona Beach. Judy Klawe
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.

We also stayed a Loggerhead marina at Daytona (3/27-29/10). The docks were right on the ICW and so were subject to wakes and fetch, but easy to access and city lights were a pretty view from the cockpit. Staff was excellent and facilities were clean and in good condition (lounge, wireless, laundry). On-site Caribbean Jack’s restaurant was good and not too expensive. Pool and hot tub were well-maintained, uncrowded. Dan/Jay Lunsford

HHM is one of the best and safest of marinas on the east coast. Floating docks are just the beginning of the story. 5 bathhouses with ice cold AC, water pressure and hot water that never runs out. Each is cleaned and serviced daily. The marina is well protected by the barrier of the beachside east of the Halifax river. Fuel is competitive and Boat US discounts apply. Docks are security keyed and for some it is a challenge of learning just how to use the Keys. Night security is provided by roving security guards. Restaurants are a short walk up or down Beach St. but sadly the on site bar/restaurant is not in operation presently. Finally the staff is the highlight! Though city owned the marina is operated by Safe Harbor Marinas and the staff from the top to the maintenance staff are all helpful and cheerful. But be warned, you may like it here so much that you will want to call it your home port!
We found our time at Halifax Harbor Marina to be pleasant. The marina has floating docks and a highly efficient check-in process all occurring at the dock, with no need to go to the Harbor Master office. Unfortunately, the WiFi was non-existent during our time here. The Marina is located on Beach Street which appears to be the main street for Daytona. Several blocks contained charming restaurants, antique shops, a pet boutique, yoga and various boutiques. It is a truly delightful place to spend some time. We did not get to the beach nor the Speedway this trip. We had a dinner meal at an Irish Pub called McK’s Tavern ( mckstavern.com). Jackie thinks their corn beef, cabbage, turnips, carrots and potatoes are the BEST ever … but then of course she did have a Guinness to accompany. David and Jaculeyn
We are staying at Halifax Harbor Marina which is a beautiful facility. Halifax Harbor Marina in Daytona Beach is a first class facility with several clean bath houses, 7-8 foot depths along side floating docks, locked bath houses and docks and a West Marine on site. Many restaurants are within a block away. Captains Mary and Mike Dickens
Halifax Harbor in Daytona Beach, Fl is a great live aboard marina: well maintained, choice of floating or fixed, 24 hr. security, clean and well protected weather wise. Don R, m/v Andante
The facility is still great, and so is the staff. Prompt attention to your docking needs and you have to love the attendant with the fishing net to catch the keys you have forgotten to return as you depart past the fuel dock. It is great to have floating docks in Florida that are full length.
The biggest surprise is that it has many vacancies. I remember when you better book well ahead as a transient, and there was a two year waiting list for full timers. Still a great marina.
Barbara, Jim, and “Lily” Benjamin- May 29, 2013 - 10:19 pm
We stayed at Halifax Harbor Marina in Daytona several times. It’s very secure, has locked security gates, floating cement docks, and very well protected just off the ICW. Barbara, Jim, and “Lily” Benjamin
Daytona Beach Municipal, Halifax Harbor, is a great place to stay. Fixed piers are more inexpensive, floating piers very nice. A well maintained facility it has 24 hr security, it is one block from Downtown with about 4 or 5 blocks of businesses, restaurants, city library, post office, 1 mi walk from the beach, easy access to the bus, and airport (2.5 mi). It’s a well protected harbor. Roman Donald
Halifax Harbor in Daytona Beach, Florida is a great choice. Secure marina, floating docks, local airport, also close to Orlando airport. Don & Rebecca Roman Andante
I suggest you stay at the Halifax Harbor Marina, I lived there for two years and the people and services were great, and you could not beat the rates, for liveaboards, I would still be there if work did not keep me where I am now. Sean Hickey
24 February 2010 When I called ahead and asked for rates they neglected to tell me about the 30-ft minimum for charges which, for our 27-footer, makes it more expensive than the Loggerhead Marina next door. Their website also did not contain the minimum. I asked why a municipal marina would do this, essentially penalizing smaller boat owners. There was no reason given but the Waterway Guide website noted the municipality recently ‘outsourced’ the management of the marina to the Skipper Bud chain, not known for bargain basement prices. The harbormaster said she would raise my point with the corporation but it was a long, laborious process. Other municipalities are going in this direction to reduce costs, resulting in rate hikes for locals as well as transients, essentially changing the focus of what municipal marinas represent – affordable boating for the general public. Whether money is actually saved is problematical as the municipality is left responsible for maintaining the infrastructure and only receives a percentage of the collected fees. Fair winds and following seas, Austin Whitten S/Y “Discovery II”, Vancouver 27
Club has been in business since 1896, but new clubhouse is lovely. Three transient docks available to MTOA and other associations and cruising clubs, as well as yacht club members. Blue Grotto no longer open for business, but many other restaurants nearby. Reserve space with dockmaster Pete Larmie (386) 290-9454 or email dockmaster@hryc.com in advance. Pool, free laundry, excellent food, and superb dock service at HRYC.

Nice Visit at Daytona Marina and Boatworks This friendly, quiet marina has been a regular stop for us for 3 years on our twice annual migration. The dock master is helpful and we enjoy the quiet, protected transient dock. Laura Dixon
I would like to report excellent service that we received at Daytona Marina and Boatworks (http://www.thedaytonamarina.com). After an unplanned meeting with the bottom we limped into their yard with damaged running gear. Both Kevin Mooney, the manager at Daytona Boatworks and Mark, the owner of Tomoka Propeller were very responsive and efficient. They were also considerate of our status as transients, and went out of their way to keep us floating while work progressed, including a couple of short hauls. We can’t say enough about how pleased we were with this facility and with the entire staff. If you are a cruiser needing some maintenance do yourself a favor and consider having it done here. They did what they said, when they said, and, even with a couple of surprises, stayed pretty darn close to the estimate. The transient docks are in great condition- fixed wooden lay alongs, the laundry and showers are clean and the dockmasters are efficient and helpful. If you need repairs or maintenance consider this your stop. If you just want a nice stop, with a restaurant on the premises and a short walk from the downtown area, give them a try.

Dave Boxmeyer- March 15, 2016 - 3:02 pm
This our second time here. This time we had an oil leak on one engine and there just happened to be a mechanic available. He found a leaking fitting and fixed us up. The marina has been here since the 80’s and has a mixture of fixed and floating docks. They are a bit worn but in good condition. The channel is narrow but very well marked. We are on the fuel dock for the night. Everyone is helpful and friendly. We will stay here again.
2nd time we have stayed here, same as the first. Cooperative staff. We have a 21 ft beam CAT so we were placed on the fuel dock which is fixed and with a good NE wind, we are rocking a bit. Their fenders are keeping us off the dock adequately. PUBLIX is about a mile, restaurant on site was OK. Nothing is fancy but everything is OK. I will stay here again.
Price was $1.20 per foot, not the 0.90 listed here.
We enjoyed our stay. People were friendly. And the Pat’s Café was great. Easy walk up the street to the beach and bus route. Had to push ourselves to leave.
A “GREAT” marina!! The set up is nice and so are the people. Lots of beautiful flowers and trees, they give you rides to Publix to stock up, found everything I needed in the store up front to do a few repairs to the boat, Pats Cafe for a delicious breakfast, and OMG… the sunsets. Went for a nice walk on the beach (close by). Cheap rates too ($1.ooft). Very happy!!
We stayed at Seven Seas Marina several times. We got stuck there a couple of years ago in bad weather and had a great time. Very nice people. We made some good friends. The beach is within easy walking distance. Publix is a bit of a haul to walk to, but if you don’t mind to walk you can do it. Claudia Young
A nice friendly marina which is inexpensive in an expensive area. The bathrooms are nothing to write home about, the laundry works, and above average ship store, but 90 cents a foot. A good comprimise
Nice small operation. VERY helpfull staff! Nice and quiet. Easy access from ICW and great breakfast restaurant on site. No glitz (a good thing !!), and the price is unbeatable for around here.
We stayed at Seven Seas Marina on January 19, 2010. A very fine marina, with fixed wooden piers. only a seven minute walk to the ocean beach. The restrooms are fine, though not what you might find at a more expensive marina. There is a well stocked ship’s store. Pat’s Riverfront Cafe, onsite, is delightful. It is open for breakfast and lunch. Seven Seas Marina, at $.90 per foot is helping keep the cost of cruising down. I highly recommend it.
It was an easy run from New Smyrna Beach to Adventure Yacht Harbor. I called Ben, Assistant Harbormaster, and told him we’d need fuel and a slip for the night. We were there soon after noon. Coming in to the fuel dock in the very narrow channel, we were met by a small runabout coming out who insisted on his right to the middle of the channel. We ran aground, again. Twice in two days. However, we backed off again as soon as the runabout had vacated the channel and continued on to the fuel dock, where Ben was waiting, but the new owner’s wife was waving frantically from the shore to warn us off. We’d been in before, and knew where the shallow water was, so we ignored her. After we refueled and registered, we took the long dock (use to be the fuel dock, apparently) where it was an easy in and out, and we were a short dock-walk away from Boondocks, where we planned to celebrate Malla’s birthday.
We had to wait for seating, but it was a pleasant evening. When they were ready for us our little beeper sounded. We were shown to a waterside table overlooking the fish-feeding area ($.25 in a coin machine for fish food for the kids) where the catfish and the seabirds hang out for their free lunch. The catfish don’t seem to be intimidated by the pelicans, and fish and bird challenge each other for what is thrown to them. We learned that pelican’s reject french fries, but the fish gobble them up. It wasn’t our french fries, BTW, but those from the next table. Captain Ted Jones
We have become regulars at this out of the way marina with its rickety docks and funky restaurant known as Adventure Yacht Harbor. We had become friends with Jim Boren who has been nursing the marina through bankruptcy. This is another hard to get into marina, but we like it. Jim reported that the marina has new owners, so things are expected to improve. We’ve mentioned Boondocks Restaurant before, and it is at least half the reason we like to stop here. Where else can one find a restaurant and bar (wine and beer only) in a marina parking lot under a tent? The food is good, too, and reasonably priced. One hears boat talk around the bar, and the dining room (for want of a better name) has both conventional tables for four along the walls and long picnic tables in the center where diners mingle. The staff is cheerful, friendly, efficient, and each appears to be enjoying her job. When someone leaves a generous tip, the waitress rings a bell. Signs permit smoking only when the tent flaps are rolled up (they were not this time because it was winter and the space heaters were on). Last spring (tent flaps up) kids were along the outside walkway feeding french fries to the fish, who gobbled them up. I told the woman bartender that this was the funkiest restaurant on the ICW assuring her that this was a compliment. I challenged her to name a another restaurant in a tent on a marina parking lot. She thought about it for a long time, and could not come up with anything like it. “And we’re bikers”, she said. “We see lots of places.” Ted Jones
I am currently at the “Adventure Yacht Harbor”, Port Orange FL. It is just south of the Dunlawton bridge. Small marina, but clean, helpful and friendly. Boondocks resturant is also located here. The harbormaster is Jim Boren. His number 386-756-2180. Rate for my 40′, and less than 6 months, is $10. Power for 30 amp $45, 50 amp $80. Also it is off the ICW in a nice little protected harbor. Johnny, Mojito Bandito.
We wanted to share with you our very positive experience at the Adventure Yacht Harbor. We found the facility and staff very accommodating, restrooms very clean, overall very tidy marina. Boondocks Restaurant on-site very good. Rates are the best in the Daytona Beach area. Jim Boren is the Harbormaster. Overall, tumbs up! Layla & Warren TimeOut

Great stop over for the night! There is a long face dock for tying up and getting fuel. Best fuel prices in the area. There can be a strong current but the dock is an easy approach. The food at the restaurant is very good and they have live music on the weekends (not too late so we slept fine). The staff was extremely helpful. Will stop here anytime we are in the area again!

I want to share a pleasant experience about Lighthouse Boatyard at Ponce Inlet, FL. While cruising on the ICW near New Smyrna we had major prop damage (long story). We needed an emergency haulout so the first place I looked for help was your Cruising Guide to Eastern Florida. We contacted Terry at Lighthouse Boatyard and like your guide says, they went above and beyond to accomodate us. Not only did she arrange the haulout and lined up a prop repairman, Terry also tracked down a vendor for another part we needed. If that wasn’t enough, she offered refreshments and loaned us her car to run errands. We were back in the water the next day at a fair price.
