    Great place to obtain gasoline and diesel fuel south of Fort Lauderdale in Hollywood Florida. Environmentally friendly procedures are highly efficient and noteworthy when dispensing fuel with high volume pumps. Fuel dock depth was as advertised. At Low tide there was 5.5 to 6 foot at the entrance and 6.5 to 7 foot in the fuel slip. Employees are helpful and very knowledgeable of the area and share valuable information when asked. Several amenities available but getting a slip for the night was extremely challenging since most of the slips are occupied by local residents. We were in the area in late March 2024 and this was the only Marina off the ICW where we could get fuel, water and ice due to most Marinas being private and shoaling on the east side of the canal. Operator told me there were plans to expand the fuel dock to a floating dock with an extension parallel to the ICW to accommodate larger vessels with deep drafts.

    Nicest people, very clean. 1.98 per foot per night. Good dog walking. Need registration and proof of insurance.

    Well-protected marina with solid piers (concrete). Well-kept showers and laundry available. Each pier has a locked gate, and keys are specific to each pier. Although the area adjacent to the piers is essentially a public park, we didn't see the vagrants we expect in an urban area with open public restrooms. There were a number of long-term resident live-aboards when we were here. The ones on our dock ("D", west-most) were friendly and helpful. Good folks.

    Good food nearby, both east (over bridge) and west (in Central Business District, about 1.25 miles). Large (2-story) Publix in the CBD.
    There is a public boat ramp just west of the marina.

    We staged here for a sail to Bimini, leaving out of Port Everglades (a little less than 5nm north). This was not ideal, but avoided transiting the ICW--and its bridges--all the way to Miami.

    One of the staff members was a little gruff and over-bearing, but he was professional enough even if unpleasant. The rest of the folks there, however, made up for him.
