The Boat House Marina is a specialized condominium association located in Marathon, Florida (33050), focused on providing secure boat storage and marina facilities rather than traditional residential housing. Established on April 17, 2007, as Boat House Marina Condominium Association, Inc., this community offers state-of-the-art dry slips and wet slips in one of the safest harbors in the Florida Keys. It emphasizes security, quick access to both the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, and premium amenities tailored for boat owners.
HOA Fees and Financial Obligations HOA fees vary by slip type. Dry rack storage fees are approximately $357 per month, while wet slips are around $326 per month. These typically cover scheduled in/out service, common area maintenance, water, and parking. Electricity is metered separately and not included. Fees support the maintenance of the facility, including fuel services, fish cleaning stations, and security features. Potential buyers should request current estoppel letters and financial statements from the property manager.
Rules and Regulations Rules focus on boat safety and facility use. No full-time liveaboards are permitted, though up to 5 consecutive overnight stays (totaling 10 days in any 30-day period) are allowed. Vessels must be in seaworthy condition. Operations generally run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, with closures on major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Fuel is available during operating hours. The association maintains strict guidelines for slip usage, including bow-in docking requirements and beam/draft limitations.
Community Amenities and Lifestyle Residents enjoy a full-service marina experience with 65+ wet slips (some associated with adjacent Coral Lagoon Resort), dry rack storage, a community pool, boat ramp, fuel dock (Rec 90 and diesel), bathhouse facilities, laundry, tiki hut-covered fish cleaning station, and in/out service included in fees. The location provides 5-minute access to world-class boating, fishing, and diving. Lifestyle centers on secure, protected boating in a resort-like Keys setting with proximity to Coral Lagoon Resort.
Notable Aspects This is a condo association for boat slips/storage, not primary residences. It partners with yacht brokers like Curtis Stokes and Associates for on-site services. The facility is managed professionally with on-site dockmaster support. Recent listings highlight its appeal for weekend or seasonal boat owners seeking premium, secure storage in the Middle Keys.
