Steamboats at Marina south?

Florida full service marina

• I am looking to find a marina on the Intercoastal waterway in each of the following Florida locations: Ponte Vedra Beach, Hillsboro Beach, Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Miami and Miami Beach. The qualifications that I am looking for in the marina are as follows: (1) I wish to keep a 38 foot Fountain Fever at the marina. (2) I am looking for a facility that would store the boat in a dry dock configuration and when I wish to use the boat would launch it for me so that when I arrive it is fueled, in the water and ready to use. (3) When I am finished using the boat I would want to be able to just tie up the boat at the marina and leave. I would want the marina to wash it down and flush the engines to remove the salt water and then return it to dry dock. In other words I am looking for a hassle free boating experience in which the marina takes care of everything and I just use the boat. If a particular location does not have such a facility that is fine, I just want know which locations do have an accommodation that would satisfy my needs. I would like to find a facility that can accept the boat by January of 2005, or as soon as feasible thereafter.

One is right at Intercoastal Marker #67 - this is unbelievably ideal for boaters - one really has to just choose where one wants to go - North or South - its incredibly and beautifully located. Most marinas in South Florida have channels leading to the Ocean and it takes boaters anywhere from 20 minutes and over to get to open waters. http://www.rickenbackermarina.com/dry.htm ==================================================== I did further research and unfortunately I did not locate anything in Ponte Vedra Beach.
