Miami dockage.

[Apollo00]

I'm aboard my 30' sailboat on the ICW arriving at Miami on Saturday. I checked the Miami Beach Marina and it's $5/ft. Any suggestions for a better rate. Need a few days to prepare for crossing to Havana.

Check Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove. They also have mooring balls, might be alot cheaper. Easy access to shopping etc.

Great, I'll give them a call. Thanks.

Their mooring buoys are $25 and slips $3'. I will be there.

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, Apollo.

Thanks. I am bound for Havana.

Dinner Key is VERY expensive. I would try a mooring there, or else anchor out.

[Apollo00]

They told me $3' on a slip and $25/night on a mooring.

We lived at Dinner Key full time for 2 years. Just to show you how long ago that was, our dock rent was $45 a month including power and water.

I assume those prices are by the foot. Anyway, its a great marina and the neighborhood can't be beat. Walking distance to the Grove, Monty Trainers (you might check out that marina) and good neighbors. Our neighbor for a while was Jimmy Buffet.

I stayed 2 days on slip and now 2 days on a mooring while I get my vessel registered with the homeland security before sailing tomorrow towards Havana.
