Opinions Please from the Fort Pierce Crowd
Wanting to re-locate my boat to Ft. Pierce. 65 convertable. Drove down and looked at the City Marina, but they are booked up until spring. Google Earthed Harbour Town and Causeway Island. they looked great from space. I am not picky, just go down on weekends and fish and dive off shore. I had the girl in Stewart for awhile, just not a fan of the nasty water out of the lake, plus Ft. Pierce is closer to me.
The run to the fishing grounds out of Daytona is 3 hours at 100 gallons per hour. I can drive down in 2 hours, run 35 minutes out and save $$ and hours on motors. Also my daughter has a house there, so two fold. When my boat is out of town, I seem to use it more. Had it here the last year, and I seem to do more house, and yard work.
Thinking about January or February.
So any suggestions on dockage?
Have a great weekend,
Tim

Re: Fort Pierce Marinas
We have stayed at FPCity on and off over the years, including months-long stays and recommend it highly. Best location, facilities, fuel prices and staff in the area. Harbortown is not as nice, but would do if you can’t get into FPCity. Causeway Cove was under construction the last time I was through there so I can’t comment on it. If none of them work for you, look at Harbor Isle which has fewer amenities, but is well protected.

Re: Fort Pierce Marinas
Harbor town gives you a straight shot out the inlet and should have plenty of room for a 65. Decent restaurant and bar there also. I have the boat in Vero and fished out of Ft Pierce for the last 29 years. 11 miles to 120’ and pretty decent sail fishing in the winter. Many times the palm beach fleet ends up off here during tournaments when they can’t find fish south.

Re: Fort Pierce Marinas
I really like Pelican yacht club. They let me stay as a transient. Don’t know if they rent slips monthly but i really like the place. Fort Pierce is a little rough not far from the city marina where as Pelican is across the bridge and on the inlet.
