Guide

Approach and anchoring

Leave the Intracoastal Waterway in Sarasota Bay between markers 8A and 10 and steer towards the field. Buoys are storm-rated and individually tested. Call the harbour master on VHF 71 before arrival to be assigned a numbered ball.

Practical

Berths take vessels up to roughly 24 metres. Fresh water is available. Register and tie up at the Marina Jack fuel berth ashore, where showers, heads and a pump-out service are kept.

Ashore

The field sits off Bayfront Park, with restaurants and shops along the Sarasota waterfront within walking distance. The Marina Jack basin lies 0.2 nautical miles north for fuel and provisions.
