Transient Dockage West Coast FL, ICW - The Hull Truth

dadriva · 08-08-2009, 04:40 PM

I have a vacation planned and am looking for any transient dockage on the ICW, west coast of FL. Primarily in the Clearwater area but also looking for as far north as Anclote Key and as far south as Venice.

Any info is much appreciated!

Try the Holiday Inn on the ICW in Indian Rocks Beach, its a little south of Clearwater.

In Venice, Check out Crow's Nest:

Great restaurant too.

If you are just staying for one night, you can stay at the Higel Park dock:

Higel Park is a small public park with a public dock. It is within walking distance to Crow's Nest Restaurant.

As usual, outstanding! I've been doing a lot of internet searching and have found a Hyatt in Sarasota that sounds nice...

Anyone have any ideas for dockage up north..Tarpon Springs area??

Thanks again!!

The Hyatt in Saraqsota is nice and it is in a good location. You can walk to downtown Sarasota from the hotel.

If nobody else chimes in, try contacting Port Tarpon Marina. Not sure they have transient dockage but I'm sure they can point you in the right direction.

Also poke around http://marinas.com/ you can get a lot of marina info and some great photos to plan your entrance.

I am currently docked at Port Tarpon and they do take transients. You might also want to check the Sponge Docks . How much do you draw?
