Kicking 2018 off Dockwa-style, we welcomed twenty-one marinas aboard! See who's new, send us more (we can take it!) and be ready to book when the floodgates open.
Pictured left, Marlin Bay Yacht Club in Marathon, Florida.
As the flagship deepwater marina in the Heart of The Keys, Marlin Bay boats 99 deepwater slips for boats up to 70’, full power hookups, Wi-Fi, and more. Within easy distance you’ll find quiet state parks, secluded beaches, and miles of open aquamarine sea. Marlin Bay is located next to the world famous Key’s Fisheries Restaurant that produces seafood for well-known restaurants and Whole Foods.
With it still a bit chilly up north, we're leading off with where we think most boaters are actually out on the water. Enjoying the sunshine. Laughing it up while New Englanders pretend they like seeing their breath. Anyhoodle, here's six new marinas to check out as you snowbird around lower latitudes:
Adventure Marina – Fort Walton Beach, Florida
Causeway Cove Marina– Fort Pierce, Florida
C.S.S. Yacht Basin – Panama City, Florida
Gulf Harbors Yacht Club – New Port Richey, Florida
Oasis Boatyard & Marina – St. Augustine, Florida
Marlin Bay Yacht Club – Marathon, Florida
Vista Mar Marina – San Carlos, Panama
As you may have noticed, one of these things is not like the other. We haven't rung the bells about breaking into South America just yet, as this location runs its operations out of Florida. But we're still thrilled to have a pin in the map in Panama!
Clear across the country – but still obviously falling into the "warm" category – we have three new marinas at which you lucky boaters can soak up the sun.
Sun Harbor Marina – San Diego, California
Clipper Yacht Harbor – Sausalito, California
