Our very first "live-aboard" cruise destination in boating was Sailfish Marina in Palm Beach area. On that first trip we took 7 months to get there and back to St Louis.
Years later, when bringing our "just purchased" boat, Great Escape home the docking at Sailfish was a must! It is tricky with a current through the marina but worth it. (its better to arrive at ebb tide!)
The facility is a virtual resort with a pool, great restaurant, and a five minuet walk to the beach.. Also an island trolley comes to the marina for getting around the area and provisioning at the Greater Gator.
Club house with the restaurant/lounge/bar and ship's store next to it. Sailfish is the closest Florida marina to the Bahamas. Grand Bahama West End is a short 50 miles due east from the Palm Beach Inlet. Two of my daughters and I have made that trip several times on the "Dream Too" (a scuba boat based on Lake Worth)
Our daughter Robin and grandson Jon in the marina pool. (Jon's cell phone is in his pocket)
Relaxing at pool side with friend Donna from "dock 6" at Port Charles in St Louis.. Robin, Jon, Donna and her husband Doug were our guests, traveling with us on Great Escape from Ft Lauderdale to Lake Okeechobee. on our way home.
That's JoAnn and me in the marina restaurant.. The sea food was wonderful. Our 1st trip to Palm beach was on our honey-moon many moons ago.
Leaving Sailfish in a tropical rain storm. Beautiful! Maybe you can see the rainbow over those condos on the beach if you click to enlarge.
The last time we stayed there, Sailfish was still a homeland security designated reporting station for boats leaving and entering the USA.
