Anchored here multiple times. Great overnight stop. 8+ feet and good holding. Pretty goog protection from ICW wake but not perfect.

First time here we were transit. Planned on 3 days and stayed a month. I installed my solar panel system. We had a wonderful time here. That was 4 years ago. Last fall we lost our slip at NAS Key West. Being we were in Stuart Florida we took a drive up to Eau Gallie. We now have a permanent slip there. The social life and friendships can not be surpassed. Management is great. Everyone is helpful. On the down side some slips are pretty shallow and I'm paying 2X more than the Navy marina in Key West. Oh well this is still a good deal and we are very happy there. Highly recommended.

One of the best marinas we have found. Free golf cart use to a Publix market through a beautiful neighborhood. We were a little late arriving. The dockmaster waited for us to help with our tie up.

Marina Review for Fort Pierce City Marina

High confusion and nothing special. First it took 6 phone calls to correct overcharges. Next I kept popping the circuit breaker. I rarely have this problem. Upon closer inspection the breaker panel only had a 20 amp breaker! You are not allowed to barbeque on your boat. The marine supplied BBQ's are junk that have not been thrown out yet. You are not allowed to dry anything on your lifelines. Showers were average.

Anchorage Review for Rum Point Basin

One great hidden anchorage. Very tight channel coming in. You are almost hugging the reed grass on the North side of the channel to stay in deep water. Once in you have a great anchorage with a great view of Atlantic City.

Great holding, We followed the depth contours and were very secure for the night. There is really no wake protection but there was no boat traffic all night.

Stayed here while awaiting Glades storage. Great dock hand (Rick), good power. Looks like a rebuilt dock and new power station. Bit of a walk to the showers. Will return.
