Straightforward approach. Nice, protected floating concrete docks with trash and pumpout locations at every finger Pier. Friendly, efficient and attentive dock staff. This facility can handle some good size boats. As a previous commenter pointed out, the shower and restroom facilities are pretty worn out. Lots of charter dives leave from this facility, so it can be busy at times. There is also a shuttle to Peanut Island and a Parasailing boat. Large marine supply store within a half mile walk. A Tiki bar and restaurant is on site, but other restaurants would be a short Uber ride. Spent 2 days here doing boat maintenance and waiting for a weather window to head north offshore. Nice stop overall.

Might be a great marina one day. New facilities with great floating docks. Gate and bath house codes worked sometimes, had to call night security to get back in 1 night. Biggest complaint is bath house. Too many tour boats are using and they are not secured all the time. Tike bar and grill on site and very good. Peanut Island is directly across from marina and can have loud music playing all day with some interesting boat traffic. Very busy area

We arrived in a major wind storm and our plan A did not work out. These folks let us stay on the fuel dock overnight which was great as there were no other options. They then allowed us to move to another spot on their docks the next day. The docks are first rate, the location is great. Down side was that only one shower was working and the dock boys were not very helpful in a pretty stressful situation. Overall nice place, we would come again.

We spent a couple of weeks here recently. The staff is friendly and efficient. Lots of workers and livesaboards who were helpful. No fuel as the lines were being replaced. Pump out at slip was very efficient. Felt very secure with gates and security. Laundry facilities were adequate and clean and reasonably priced. Peanut Island and Palm Beach sight seeing were fun and close by although Peanut Island can be crowded and noisy on the weekends. My biggest complaint is based upon being a dog owner. There is a beautiful park adjacent to the marina and the grass has many chicken and rib bones. Very unsatisfying to walk your dog and say "leave it" every few feet. Many homeless in the park but all were friendly and no one was panhandling. 24 hour security and gate code access to marina made for a safe feeling, even with high winds while we were there the marina was very smooth. Given its commercial neighbor and 24 hour port operations most nights were very quiet.

Stayed here for the month of January 2020. Overpriced but nice docks, power and water. Busy marina with fishing charters, pumpout at the slip. Found the wifi was spotty and had to reload on several times. Windy but lots to see and Peanut Island is just across the channel. 24 hour security. Washrooms need updating and laundry facilities not too bad. Tiki Bar at end of parking lot was very nice with great service and a happy hour!

Too expensive for what you get. Restrooms and showers are clean but falling apart. It was a 20 minute walk from our slip to the office and the dock hands did not inform us of closing time or give us any info. So when we got to the office it was closed and thus we got no restroom code or wifi password. They need a process to give this info to cruisers when docking or after the office closes. Email or text would work.

An excellent marina in a popular location. I stayed here 2 weeks waiting on a weather window to cross the Gulf Stream. Located right across from the inlet. The best wifi I've used at any marina. Clean, secure & modern rest rooms, showers & laundry. I was on the "promenade" dock, closest to shore & parking. If you get an outer dock it could be a long walk. Lots of good shops & stores in the Palm Beach area, most are more than walking distance. The local Enterprise has very good rates.
