On 12/4/08, as part of a “Florida Keys Wish List,” I posed the following question:

38. Closer to the Boot Key Harbor bridge, cruisers will find both Panchos Fuel Dock and Burdines Marina. Someone please give us reports on these two facilities.

Responses follow:

We obtained fuel at the Panchos Fuel Dock. It is what it is, a fuel stop. It was fine, easy to dock and leave.

Fueled and got water at both places. I liked Burdines, mostly because of the tattooed chick operating the fuel dock.

When looking at Panchos from Burdines it seems that the remodeling work has been completed. There are a few boats in the slips but in general there is not much activity, at least not during the early November period. We’ll know more when we get back end of this month.
Burdines is doing fine. All slips are taken. The Chiki Tiki seems busy, although in general we have noticed activities quieting down. The economy is no doubt taking its toll. For instance, last year Burdines and Ponchos were swamped with boats returning from the Ft. Lauderdale boat show. This year we saw one. A really big one. I am not sure that one big one makes up for the lack of many smaller ones
