Report Review
First time boating to St Pete Marina and staying at the transient dock.
The good:
St Pete is a great town to visit
Dock hands very helpful and accommodating
Facilities very nice
The not so good:
The transient dock is fixed (not floating) and one side tie up.
This means you need to leave enough slack for tides.
This means you will be swaying and banging the dock all night.
This means little sleep depending on your ability to sleep through that distraction.
Our boat is 28ft but the neighbors was a new 40ft and had the same issue.
Conditions were fairly calm when we were there.
Will go back but try a different tie up method.
