Very protected marina - quiet and peaceful. $3.50/foot.
Narrow channel that opens up to the marina. We didn't have a problem with our 50 foot trawler.
Well kept, nice floating docks and beautiful bathrooms / shower facilities. The dockhand was helpful in getting us docked.
The club that is next to the marina is open to members. I'm assuming the marina members are also club members. As transients, we were not allowed to use the restaurant on site, or the pontoon boat that takes members over to Peck Lake. Apparently, the marina and the "club" are separate. I would like to think there might be some sort of reciprosity. It really made us feel like outsiders. The area is all residential - no retail. An Uber is about $16.
We walked around the marina and along raised boarded walks. The mangroves are all nicely trimmed. The neighborhood has big multi $M houses and all the common grounds are very well kept.

Looked like a cute place. It has already been reviewed well. The transient rate was $3.50/ft + electric plus tax, not the $2/ft listed in the app and there were too many options with more amenities for less nearby so we decided not to stay. We had no problems with our 40' LOA, 14'2" beam and 3'8" draft

This is a small marina that is part of a gated golf course community. Open dock space is available on a transient, monthly or annual basis. This IS NOT a resort type marina. There is no restaurant (except a private club not open to the public), no fuel dock, no public dingy dock, no bicycles, no stores within walking distance, etc. What it has is good security and protection, clean facilities, laundry, easy access to St. Lucie inlet, Peck lake and the awesome beach on Jupiter island. It is quiet. You can easily dingy, kayak or SUP from the marina across Peck Lake to the Hobe Sound Nat'l Wildlife Refuge which has a beautiful beach with very few people. Ground transportation is best handled with Uber or a rental car from Enterprise who will pick you up from their office 5 miles away.

The marina has only 2 employees so there is a lot of time when only one is working, and who in addition to regular marina duties run a shuttle boat for the community residents. Getting hold of them can be a challenge so call well in advance. If you are looking for a last minute location for an overnight slip this place might not work out.

Nice old Florida Marina in quiet gated community. Easy dinghy ride across ICW to ocean beach or take the pontoon ferry boat. Good hurricane protection. Will need automobile to go anywhere off property.
