I was planning our annual fishing trip to the Keys when my neighbor, who runs a charter service, told me I had to check out
surfside marina. What really stood out was their detailed slip information - they actually show photos of each dock and list exact measurements, which saved me tons of back-and-forth emails. When we arrived, the dockhands were surprisingly helpful (not always the case at marinas) and even helped us back in during some tricky crosswinds. Their fish cleaning station is the cleanest I've seen - stainless steel tables with proper drainage and a dedicated freezer for carcasses. The best part? Their fuel dock stays open until 10pm, which saved us when we came in late after chasing a school of tarpon. For serious anglers, they even have a tournament board showing recent catches.
