    The docks are new, fixed concrete, and the slips are well-protected. Pump-outs are free, on demand at slip. Quiet relaxed vibe - definitely not a party marina. One way in/out with security coded gate at end of the pier – very safe.
    Bathrooms and showers are new, clean and key card protected right next door to new laundry room with quarters or app payment ($2.50 each load). Packages delivered to your boat or pick up hotel's front desk.
    Staff (Kevin, Steve and Emily) are fantastic! Very helpful and people who take pride in the the new facility.
    Publix is a flat, easy 15-minute walk (about 0.8 miles). There's an excellent breakfast/lunch beach café across from Publix.
    Great executive/par 3 course within walking distance. Across the street from golf and down the road is the resort beach club/pool bar with free towels, chairs and umbrellas. Two fitness centers (one in hotel near marina and one next to golf clubhouse). Tennis facility next to golf with pickle ball.
    On still evenings, you might run into a few no-see-ums on still nights, but bugs aren't really an issue. Restaurants over the first bridge (about a 30-minute walk/8-minute bike ride/1.6 miles) Asian, Italian, and a classic family/sports bar.
    Can't wait to return!

    Very friendly and professional dock hands. Well organized Marina. Repair services available as needed. Town was OK. Don't need more than a day. Very strong current.

    North Anchorage very crowded with sailboats some have been there for a while. I anchored on the south end across from The Boca Raton resort. Good holding. Very busy on weekends dinghy dock next to the bridge to the north.

    Can-do attitude. A very accommodating and professional outfit.
