5-1-24 200 gallon minimum. The price is the cash price, there is an additional credit card fee of $0.10 per gallon. There is an additional Environmental Fee of $19.95. The price does not include sales tax although if you are directly leaving Florida they can provide a form to sign so you don't have to pay sales tax on the fuel purchase. The credit card purchase price is about 2.8% higher. They accept personal checks. No gas, diesel only. Still the best price for diesel fuel in Florida and Georgia. Very helpful staff and high volume pump. Wind and current can be an issue so plan accordingly.

Great price and we only took around 50 gallons. The attendant said that there was a 200 gallon minimum. He didn't ding us or make a fuss about it but maybe another attendant might have been more difficult.

We had to wait for 45 minutes while a fuel barge was being filled but I'm not complaining, its well worth the wait for fresh fuel at over a dollar a gallon less than the marina 300 yards to the south.
Purchase of 100 gallons or more needed.

Fast, fresh fuel at a great price, what more could you want? Only one pump was operating during my most recent visit however they expect to have it running in short order. No fenders or protection on the poles so be prepared to supply your own if needed on your vessel.

Took on 400 gallons today 9/25/2023. Two dollars less expensive than local marinas. Bob was excellent on the dock and very amiable. We were there right on high tide/slack so the fixed dock height was fine. The fuel nozzle has a valve which you can control right at the fill for fill rate. Our tanks are a straight drop from the fill so it didn't take long. One thing to note: they did close on Wednesdays during COVID but they are now open all five days of the week, still closed on Saturday and Sunday. There is a 19.95 per invoice charge which they put aside to cover the significant cost of the Coast Guard spill test that they have to carry out on an annual basis.

I'm not sure why we cruised past Port Consolidated Fuel dock but didn't stop on previous trips. But what's not to like - fresh fuel, easy access, fantastic price.
This is a commercial fuel dock - think tugs, crab & shrimp boats. At low tide the dock is 8-10' above sea level. No VHF but u can call or just come into the fuel dock if room available.
Bob does a great job handling your lines, so you don't need to get off the boat. Diesel only - but fast (up to 15 gal/minute) hoses. Be sure your tank vent lines are clear if you want to fuel quickly. We were on & off the dock in

Commercial facility, our preferred spot to take on full tanks. Fuel speed is easy to control but use caution NOT to fuel to fast.
