Owner-operated boatyard on the freshwater Okeechobee Waterway at Statute Mile 89, Moore Haven, Florida, about 11 miles west of Lake Okeechobee.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Reached from the Okeechobee Waterway on a stretch with locks in both directions, so there is no tide and minimal water surge. The Moore Haven lock, just upstream, handles around 10,000 craft a year transiting the cross-Florida route.

Practical

A 13-acre yard built around a do-it-yourself work area where owners service their own boats. Equipment includes a 50-ton and a 40-ton travel lift, crane and sling service, and a wide entry channel. On-site facilities cover restrooms, showers, laundry and internet access.
