  • Plan on being at our dock at least 15 minutes prior to your assigned departure time.

  • If your trip departs before 7:00AM, the gate into the marina may be locked. There is a key located on the right side of the rolling gate, the code is "7001".

  • There are restrooms at the marina located in the back of the sales office (the 1st bldg you approach upon entering), the door code is "6111".

  • To get to the boat once inside the marina, follow the road all the way around to dead end and park in any of the open spaces.

  • Boat is on the SouthEast dock, behind the mangroves that border the parking lot.

We look forward to seeing you on board!

* Due to recent dramatic fuel cost increases, there is a NEW fuel surcharge to be added to each trip

Prices assume a fuel cost of $3.50 per gallon - the new fuel surcharge is the incremental fuel cost difference

If fuel cost is $4.75 / gal - $3.50 = $1.25 / gal fuel surcharge

If your trip utilizes 75 gals of fuel, then $1.25 / gal * 75 gal = $93.75 Fuel surcharge
