Boathouse Marina

Tropical paradise
It’s easy to get comfortable when you find a quiet, attractive marina with a beautiful pool, landscaping, showers and laundry and well maintained docks and facilities.  We were fortunate to find the “Resort at Coral Lagoon” also known as Boathouse Marina.  This place is not listed on any of the regular sources – we heard about it from Loopers ahead of us who were enjoying their stay.  It is very reasonably priced and contradicts all the warning we had heard about Keys marinas being very expensive and almost impossible to get into.  We were prepared to anchor at a mooring ball or find our own beach anchorage, but really, this is so much more relaxing.

We HIGHLY Recommend this stop for other Loopers.  It is located near Vaca Pass, east of the city of Marathon.

Shopping at Publix
The boats Humbug and Carol Ann have been here for awhile, and one couple has a car, so we got to make a real grocery shopping run.  It worked very well and we fit the groceries for 4 boats, plus people, into the Volvo.  Dennis is scrubbing a few layers of salt off Reunion and later we will go for a swim and invite a few folks over to watch the sunset.  Sunset is a Very Big Deal in the keys and we have the best view in the marina.  We have asked everyone to bring the books they want to exchange.

  1. So are you staying where you are for a while now? Sounds like Paradise for sure. You're at your southernmost point of the Loop ~ does that mean you're half way now?
