    Great views and friendly staff. Only negative is that the shower facilities were suboptimal since they are about 300 yards from marina. But this is my go to in Islamorada and the rooms at the renovated hotel are nice. A bit slow in the early part of the week. great breakfasts.

    These folks and Manager Keith helped me out of a jam when there was a coral rock in the middle of the Dania Cut. Hiull repair was just a couple of days and looks like new. Competitive pricing and accurate estimate. Will use again for routine service.

    Fantastic staff and dockhands, Approach is skinny at low tide, 3-4 ft in places and must stick to the center of the channel. Easy access to Monomoy and great fishing in the rips. Fully booked so slips and moorings can be a challenge. Gas dock is what I mostly use and its competitive and easy peasy.

    Great Mooring field with plenty of room. The launch service is $10 a head with tip each way so with 4 or 5 people it can get pricey, but that's not part of the public mooring staff. The harbormaster is polite, prompt and easy to get to. Dockwa is best and reserve early in the summer months, like months early. They do have some day moorings unreserved, but best to arrive by 9am latest.

    A find in the Cape Cod world. Huge marina with beautiful 1.3 mile approach up the Bass River from Nantucket Sound. Great repair service which we have used many times. Good pub food at the Summer Shanty.

    Love this place, great dockmaster and facilities and beautiful clubhouse with gracious staff outstanding menu. The one star off is for the Miami vibe of "If you ain't Spanish we don't want to talk to you" of the membership, haughty and standoffish.

    Nicest Private Yacht Club in South Florida. Very Accommodating Dock Master, Bob, and staff. Can almost allways find a way to get a slip except during sailing regattas. Beautiful new facilities.

    Be wary of the tidal range up to 5 feet for fixed docks. Great location, nice competent staff.

    Georgeous Marina. Friendly people. Super clean showers. Great dining options (2). Recommend Brax Landings for cocktails and dinner. Harbormaster on site with terrific staff and helpful dockhands. Really nicely located near Chatham.
