Crandon Park Marina

i’ve seen better bathroom accomodations in a gas station!
did not go into the bathroom — just the showers
dirty, garbage strewn about — basically disgusting
you have to push the knob in with your back
no hot water
no place to set your clothes or anything else on
we slid over a nearby pallet to put our stuff on
this is how this place treats their customers!
pathetic!!!

Just posted my review
Love this marina, staff, facility!!!
Not much more I can say to convey how happy we are to have our boathere

Great marina in a wonderful location. Wet slips, boat ramp and moorings available. Peaceful on a weekday. Marina has decent amenities including washing machines. The mangrove island near the moorings is full of ibis, cormorants, herons and the magnificent frigate bird.

Its a good marina I just think it’s overprice they charge you at the main gate and when you enter the marina, almost 30 $

I love hanging at marinas and this is a particularly good one to hang at. There are lots of boats, really good docking facilities, plenty of friendly boaters and a good bunch of charter boats in order to go out and catch your fresh fish.
Then, being in Crandon Park and the Key Biscayne vicinity; always a delightful pleasure.

I personally had a very bad experience here. We came over to Crandon Park Marina on Mother’s day to go to Nixon Beach Sandbar. The marina wasn’t extremely busy that day, but it wasn’t completely empty either. We had to pay $ 11 with the boat to get into Key Biscayne and another $ 15 at Crandon Park Marina in order to launch the boat in the water. When we got back to the marina after boating all day, we found that someone STOLE the handle from the wench of the trailer and there were several other trailers that we found were missing their wench handles as well. The guy from the marine store (who we were suspicious about) ended up selling us a wench handle that didn’t even work for our wench and we had to pay $ 7 overcharge for the handle because the store was already «closed.» You would think that you’d have some peace of mind at a marina where one has to pay $ 15 to launch the boat, has a dock security gate and is located in a decent neighborhood. It seems that we really got ripped off. Needless to say, we will NEVER BE COMING BACK to Crandon Park Marina as we prefer not to pay to have our belongings stolen.

nice clean marina. i don’t have a boat, so i was just visiting, but they have a huge parking lot and a great view of the ocean from the docks. the bathrooms are very clean and the convenience store has lots of goodies like snacks and sunscreen. it’s a nice place to sit and have a lunch on a sunny day.

if you have a hankering for fresh fish, where should you get it?
right off the boat of course!
if you get there when the chartered fishing boats come in, you’ll find sunburned tourist anglers, who perhaps have smiled upon by the salt sea dieties and have returned with a fishful bounty!
do they wish to take the scaly beauties back to their fancy schmancy lodgings? no siree bob. this is where the hungry fish fanciers come in.
supply and demand so hurry and scurry to buy your fresh fish.
be sure to share some with the comical pelicans. if you are very resourceful, you might think to call a charter boat,* and perhaps they’ll even save a fish for the likes of you.
the last time we did this, we scored some magnificent mahi mahi which was deftly cooked by the wonderful mr. unlucky. after our feast, not a morsel remained.
