Great deep water Marina for deep keel sailboats. Small store, and access to food and some goods. Restaurant next door served good food and drinks. Fuel attendant always busy managing gas and diesel dispensing to a high volume of small and large boats passing through on the ICW. Diesel prices were a dollar cheaper than everyone else in the area. Staff and dock manager made sure that your needs were met. My depth gauge said 20 feet at the dock. Low current, and a fixed dock made the docking process easy. This location is right on the ICW just before a Bascule Bridge. Lots of wakes.

Great place to obtain gasoline and diesel fuel south of Fort Lauderdale in Hollywood Florida. Environmentally friendly procedures are highly efficient and noteworthy when dispensing fuel with high volume pumps. Fuel dock depth was as advertised. At Low tide there was 5.5 to 6 foot at the entrance and 6.5 to 7 foot in the fuel slip. Employees are helpful and very knowledgeable of the area and share valuable information when asked. Several amenities available but getting a slip for the night was extremely challenging since most of the slips are occupied by local residents. We were in the area in late March 2024 and this was the only Marina off the ICW where we could get fuel, water and ice due to most Marinas being private and shoaling on the east side of the canal. Operator told me there were plans to expand the fuel dock to a floating dock with an extension parallel to the ICW to accommodate larger vessels with deep drafts.
