We stayed one night. Did a load of laundry in their clean laundry room. This is a nice marina with a great staff. There is a restaurant on site. The food was very good. They had live music at the restaurant, which we enjoyed. Nice floating docks. We got fuel and a pump out. Very helpful staff! I would recommend this marina.

This is a very nice, clean marina with wonderful staff. They were all very helpful. There have a very clean laundry facility with nice washers and dryers. The boaters lounge is great with a nice coffee machine! We only stayed one night but would highly recommend this marina.

The marina is a bit rustic but very nice staff. We stayed one night. The bathhouse was clean. They have laundry (1 washer and 1 dryer). There are two restaurants on site (we did not eat there)and a short walk to downtown with plenty of restaurants and shops. We enjoyed seeing the downtown area. I would recommend staying here.

Anchorage Review for Marine Stadium

We were anchored at Miami Marine Stadium on 3/31/25 along with other boats. Well after dark water patrol came by letting us know it was no longer allowed to anchor overnight as of three weeks ago. We had to move right outside side the area. Unfortunately, they don't enforce it for all boats. We watched numerous party boats continue to come in and anchor as we sat up to make sure our anchor was set properly. It is a good day anchorage but you can no longer anchor overnight.

Anchored 12/4/24 with another boat. The anchorage is fairly narrow. We rafted bow to stern. By setting both anchors it prevented us from turning. A sailboat had anchored further upstream. We had a peaceful night. It is a mud bottom with very little current.

We anchored up stream past the boat ramp. We had 14 feet depth and great holding. Anchor came up clean. There was one other boat anchored. There is plenty of room for more boats. Only negative was we had very little head current moving down river. By early morning the wind had switched directions causing us to spin around 180 degrees.

We had our boat at Commodore Yacht Club for 2 months (October & November 2024) while on the Great Loop. We flew back and forth to home for work. Belita and Tracy were so helpful. They kept an eye on our boat while we were gone. We can't say enough about them and the wonderful people at the marina. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Belita took us to Walmart to provision before we left. We would highly recommend this marina. Great side trip if you are on the Great Loop. Easy entrance to the marina.
