This is the only privately owned marina of the 3 in town. Docks and utilities are in good order. The owner is very accommodating and ran the Dockwa reservation for us as a courtesy. Dock is gated. The only issue we had was the pilings were a little low for our rub-rail but fender-boards did the trick. This is our number one pick for marinas in this town but the 2 City run marinas are a good choice but we like the added security the gates brought. The train runs all the time and there is no escaping its horn. Very calm on this windy day and the few wakes were minimal.

Easy docking. Bob, the owner came out to greet us and tie us up. Great security and access to a shower and a pool and good Wi-Fi. It is a dollar a foot but if you are 50 ft or over it is a $1.25. 7.50 for electric. WhatYachtToDo

Pulled into Marina after 12 hour day headed East. Easy to dock went port side to between two other boats, fellow boaters grabbed lines. Price is same as Moore Haven City Docks, $1.00 per ft including electricity & water (bargain). The dock & power poles are brand new. There are coded gates to get on & off dock. Small inground pool, unisex bathroom with shower (serviceable & clean). Owner answered phone call & took our CC payment over the phone. Would recommend.

Dock is new and owner tries to meet boaters to help with tie ups. No problems with water or electric. Room for only 6-8 boats depending on LOA but the rate is great. One restaurant about a mile away. No fuel. Very quiet area.

We stopped for one night on our way west to east across the Okeechobee Waterway. There is 400 feet of new and refurbished dock and the owner met us to help us tie up at the new dock. 50A power and good water pressure at the pedestal. The shared restroom/shower was a short walk across the street and although nothing fancy, it was fully functional and clean. Quiet night on the Caloosahatchee Waterway in this small town setting with park running along the waterfront.
