I came in for fuel only and that's what my rating represents. It's the best fuel price in the area. Large fuel dock can easily accommodate two large or three smaller (my size) boats. Dockhand helped me get my boat tied up and handed me the fuel nozzle, then took it when I was done. One nice thing is that they have fast and slow nozzles so they can accommodate smaller boats like mine. They also let me take my pups for a quick walk while still tied up at the fuel dock, although there isn't any really good place off the docks for a dog potty break. Dockhand was not around when I was ready to go; I guess I should have given her the tip before I walked my pups. (Her loss.) I'll be back on my way north.

Best fuel prices in the area. Older fixed docks with no ladders. Old RR with rusty doors and cheap stained plastic showers. Never had toilet paper or paper towels or a hand drier during our two days there. Beach is a two block walk and very nice. Very exposed to wakes although marina is in a 'slow speed/minimum wake' zone.

Waterway Guide lists $2.75/ft BUT we were charged $4.50/ft.
Dock boy could use training - he didn't know the rate, just had the invoice which was left by the dock manager- didnt know if they had laundry and also doesn't know how to answer the radio so don't bother calling when coming in

Was surprised when booking the reservation; we were quoted $4.00 per foot, not the price listed on Waterway Guide. So, I would highly suggest checking price prior to booking reservation.

Advertised as a resort, it is not. The fuel dock staff was exceptional, pump out was the strongest I've ever seen. The marina is in need of repairs. The good news is Pompano Beach is a nice stop over. Publix close by, plenty of restaurants, a quick walk to the Atlantic and a pier. Area is very updated, the marina is not keeping up, sorry.

Stopped for fuel, unable to raise fuel dock on radio, lots of small craft traffic, dock help was hesitant on helping with the lines and service. (To be honest, it was a Sunday afternoon and the place was hopping)

But great price for Diesel and easy access.
