We have stayed at Old Port Cove many times over the years. It has always been a great place. We wondered how it might change under the Safe Harbor banner; well, it did change, and it is even better. The facility is first rate: great docks, easy fueling, at-the-slip pump out. Excellent laundry, captain's lounge, bath facilities, exercise room, etc. But the best feature is the absolutely superb staff: Suzy and Kim in the front office are the epitome of customer service. Joe, the very experienced dockmaster, is equally excellent, as are his entire staff. Transient slips are always difficult to find on the east coast of Florida, but they will always do their best to accommodate you. Old Port Cove is simply the best. We have no interest in the business - just a very satisfied customer.
A terrific stopover on an Okeechobee crossing. We stayed for years at the Moore Haven city docks for $1 a foot a night with electricity, but we now prefer Riverhouse at $1-$1.25. Power is extra. With the city dock you never know if there will be an open spot, but at Riverhouse you can reserve through Dockwa. Deepwater dock for larger boats, plus a second dock for smaller boats. Riverhouse has a pool and good WiFi. Bob, the owner, is attentive to his customers and flexible.
