Super convenient and easy to access face dock right outside of the Moore Haven Lock. The owner, Bob was very communicative before our arrival and he made sure we were tied up really well with big winds threatening. Use your phone when trying to hail him. Basic amenities and facilities (nice, clean pool, but we didn't use it). Nothing really to do there, but there is a great Riverwalk. It's residential, so don't think Tampa Riverwalk, but you and your dogs can really stretch your legs at this marina. The best part of the visit was the trip to Haven Fresh. If you are a fan of Mexican Food, GO THERE! It is carry out and a grocery store only - no seating. It was the best burrito I have ever had. We both got el pastor and they were amazing. We also bought some chiles, produce, salsa and hot sauce. There's fresh meat that is seasoned, so you can take it back and make your own. I could go on and on. It's a 7 minute walk from the marina. Definitely a great stop on your eastbound journey through the Okeechobee waterway.

We had a great weekend stay at the City docks in St. Pete in order to be close to McDill AFB for the Tampa Airfest. The Dockmaster, Frank, was so helpful even before we arrived. He gave explicit instructions and made sure we were comfortable upon approach. Throughout the weekend, he checked and monitored the docks giving a real sense of security. This marina is full of live aboard residents. The facilities are dated and everything could use a little make-over. The transient slip are on a fixed T head. It was easy to get in and out and the parade of recreational and commercial boats was very entertaining. You can't beat the location, central to downtown and all of the nightlife. The city pier and all of the associated parks are incredible and should not be missed. We will be back for a longer stay next year.

You can't bear this location. No frills or amenities, not you're right down town. Electric and water worked well. Dock hands were there when we arrived.

This is a simple, bare bones place. The water was a little skinny getting in (we draft 4.5). We ended up fueling and staying at the fuel dock overnight. There is no electricity at the docks and the facilities are dated and worn. But, the staff was great and I know they have high hopes for the future of the marina. Nice stop along the Okeechobee route.

The marina is well located and easy to get in and out of. Nice fuel and pumpout equipment. The docks are older and narrow, but perfectly fine. My only concern was the lack of security. The dock was open at all times that I came through. It is on the same place as the public ferry, the charter fishing, the dinner cruises and other high traffic areas. I never got a sense that there was anything sketchy, it is just something to make note of.

The staff was amazing from the minute we arrived. They helped with the lines and power and gave us helpful info about the area and facilities. Nice wide, clean docks. A large area for dogs and lots of opportunities for walking. Dinner at CQ'S was great and I will plan to stay a little longer next time.

Great staff. The facilities are getting upgrades everywhere, so I can't wait to see what it looks like next season! Definitely don't overlook the Marina Variety Store Restaurant. Deliciious!

We had a quick stop here. The slip assignment was confused between the two men on the dock, so we prepped for a port tie, only to get in and and find it was starboard. Luckily, they are competent and we got tied up easily. This is truly a full service marina with all of the necessities - very well stocked ship store, restaurants. 24 hour fuel, pump out (although it was "full" when we were there, so check on this if you need it, thankfully, we did not), great recreational space, amazing views, etc. It was very quiet and calm, yet you are in the middle of the city. Super cool stop!

We had a great, short stay at Boston Waterboat Marina. As soon as we radioed, they were responsive and helpful. We had help docking the boat and they provided all of the information we needed for our stay right away. The docks and facilities are clean and nice. The location can't be beat. Just step outside of the secure gate and you are in the middle of all that Boston has to offer. We enjoyed our stay there and only wish that the tropical storm hadn't caused us to cancel one night because we couldn't get there from Maine. Thank you to the staff for being flexible on our cancelation policy! We hope to be back next summer.

We really enjoyed our stay at Chicks. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a bit of an issue getting electric, but the dockhands took care of it immediately! We were originally put on the face dock and that was great because the (no wake zone) river traffic is fun to watch. We were moved to a finger pier, but still had a nice view and could watch the kids jumping off the bridge right off our bow. The facilities are great. Nice bathrooms, clean shared spaces with well maintained bbq's and the swag shop if fully loaded with excellent logo stuff. I walked to town most of the time, but the eco-car is super cool and always at the ready to take you someplace. Great place!

Marina Response:

Beautiful location with basic amenities. We were there for a very short stay, so I did not check out the lounge with showers, etc. Docks are narrow and made for working boats, but all were in good shape and well maintained. The young ladies at the dock were helpful and friendly. We needed to borrow an extension for electric service (ours is about 50'), but it all worked out. If you don't have a long cord, you may want to check on this in advance. We walked about 8 minutes to Happy Clam and ended up at their Saloon called Outback Really nice people and the most delicious fried clams ever! It was quiet and beautiful at night. We will be back for a little more time so we can explore.

Great stay. We were thankful to be on a dock and not at anchor as we had a big storm come through. We woke up to waves and wind rolling everybody around, but felt secure the whole time. The dockhands and restaurant workers are all top notch! The grounds and facilities are well maintained. Sketchy wifi and minimal cell coverage if you have to work, but it was manageable. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a mooring at the entrance to the harbor. It was a beautiful place to watch the sunset. Decent food with nice service at the restaurant. The whole process was really easy as they communicated really quickly if I had any questions.

We had a great stay at the Bay Bridge Marina. The dockmaster was incredibly accommodating and communicative from the beginning. Included were clean facilities, amazing grounds, on-site restaurant and bar. The marina was bustling with workers during the workweek, so I am guessing you can get just about any service you'd need here. The sunset from Hemingway's was amazing. We were there off season and so it was not terribly busy. I am sure it's crowded in season, but there are plenty of places to see it throughout the marina. Maneuvering throughout the marina was easy. The docks are new and in great shape. We will definitely be back!

We spent a terrific weekend at AMCYC and I wish I could give more than five stars. From the moment we called Dusty, the dockmaster, to let him know we were coming in, to the moment he untied our lines as we left, every need was met. The docks are wide and clean. It was a pleasure to see such an active community of boaters. Getting in and out was easy enough. The restrooms were clean and nice. The gathering space is closed due to Covid, but I looked in and it looked casual and comfortable. I'll look forward to that next season. The location of the boatyard is perfect as you can walk to busy downtown Annapolis or enjoy quiet Eastport with ease. Dusty was so attentive. He helped us dock, he gave us great info about the area, he pumped us out he even brought us donuts!! I saw him engaging with many other boat owners with the same enthusiasm. He is a treasure trove of knowledge about Annapolis and the whole Chesapeake Bay region. We will be back! And, as you always should, just be sure to confirm with Dusty especially if you make your reservation on Dockwa. You won't be disappointed.
