Dock/Pier/Boathouse: The 110-foot deep-water dock features dock lights, 15-amp electric (with 30-50 amp available at extra cost), a large fish cleaning station, and outbound mooring pylons for larger boats. With direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, it’s only a short boat ride to the Vaca Cut or 7 Mile Bridge for Atlantic Ocean adventures, including world-class fishing, snorkeling, and diving. A private boathouse provides storage for fishing and dive gear, and a full-size bait freezer is available for guests. We’ve thought of everything, including a gas grill to cook up your catch of the day!
