Atlantic Cruising Club reviewers have selected and visited hundreds of marinas - Maine to Florida (including Florida's West Coast) plus the Abacos. They've quizzed dockmasters, inspected heads, travelifts, pools and other amenities, checked out local services and markets, restaurants, inns, airports, etc. Then they've prepared extensive Marina Surveys and evaluated each marina on a scale of one to five bells. All of this material has been compiled into full-page, detailed Marina Reports for each of 380 marinas. In addition to the bell rating, each Report contains up to 200 items of information including contact data, dockage rates and prices, electric services and rates, pump-out, fuel, navigational access, reported depths, laundry, cable TV, pet rules, boatyard services, nearby recreation and entertainment, restaurants, accommodations, provisioning sources, transportation, general services, supplies, and medical resources. There are also descriptions of each marina's general environment, its operations, local events, area attractions and much, much more.
All this information is available in either book form or on a fully-searchable CD-ROM. In the Book, the Marina Reports are organized geographically from North to South with handy thumb-indexes. In the digital version, the Reports are easily searchable on 110 of the data fields.
For instance, one might wish to search for marinas in the Annapolis, MD area that have fuel, a swimming pool, laundry, cable TV, and pump-out on-site, a minimum of seven feet of depth dockside, are within walking distance of several restaurants, a video arcade, and cultural attractions, and within a mile of a source of CNG. Input all of those requirements and the program will give you a list of marinas that meet your criteria.
