BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — If you own a boat and are constantly trying to figure out the best ramp to use and the best place to store it, we have the answer. Mizner Marina. Mizner Marina continues to increase services and value for boaters, while public facilities and boat ramps seem to be heading in the opposite direction.
The City of Boca Raton, for example, charges $200 a year for access to public boat ramps for City of Boca Raton residents. If you live in unincorporated Boca Raton, that fee is $675. This does not include parking of guest vehicles or access to “amenities” like ice, tackle, bait, and more. And if you want to store your vessel, the fee is higher. The $200/$675 charge is for access to the boat ramp only. And if you’re planing a multi-day trip, get ready for a ticket. The City of Boca Raton tickets people who park for an extended period of time at the public ramps.
At the private Mizner Marina, the story is different. There’s no public access. Only customers have access to the ramp and storage facility. When it comes to storage, there’s no problem. Your boat will be safe and protected by gates and cameras. If you have a problem with your vessel, the on-site mechanic will likely be able to fix it. And unlike public ramps and facilities, customers have access to ice, water, fuel, bait, snacks, and staff at all times. Heading out on a multi-day trip? No parking tickets at Mizner Marina. Park as long as you’d like.
The most important part: there’s rarely a wait for access to the ramp. Public ramps have lines and long waits. Mizner Marina does not. And the facility is quiet — in a good way. There are only 250 other tenants with boats. Just a fraction of what many experience at public ramps. And unlike public facilities, there are 16 wash stations to keep your boat clean, and the storage area is just 1500 feet — a mere 30 second drive — from the ramp to storage areas.
