During our wait, we were entertained by the different shops and water views at the marina including the massive Dolphin Rodeo Mural. We browsed the Conch Republic Divers shop that offers scuba and angler items and is across from Chris' Bait & Tackle if you're going to grab things for your boating trip. The marina offers boat tours and rentals. The Habanos restaurant sits next to the Tavernier Creek Bridge but never got the chance to try their food since the employee refused to unlock the door 5 minutes early. Finally purchased the trailer and left with a few memories.

This was my half way pit stop point on the way back from Key West, and it's definitely the most bang for your buck in a single stop. You can get food, drinks, and activities all in one. I fed the tarpons which was a unique and cool experience. Went over to Charli's and got a fizzspresso (new favorite coffee drink) and had to try a key lime pie bar of course. I left feeling like my trip wasn't just a drive, but an actual journey worth taking. If you're driving through this is definitely a must stop.

I think Wahoo's is better as it sits way up high. You'll have a few stairs to climb but above all, the view itself is worth it. It was voted 3rd Best View in Miami Heralds "Best of South Florida. And, yes, they do serve up wonderfully generous filets of super fresh wahoo and other local catches. Then, if you're out on one of Whale Harbor Marina's charters and catch a fish, they will cook it for you...can't be a better deal or taste treat than that. For Charters, they have a whole bunch of them, all with licensed captains as well as knowledgeable and season crews. Besides fishing, there are also offerings of sunset, snorkeling, sandbar, and other such cruises. There is good dockage, and if you come in by boat, even a dockage spot reserved for restaurant use.

My fiancé experienced this firsthand. While sitting on the couch, they crawled everywhere, running all over the place. They came from the AC unit, behind counters, and even ran all over the coffee grounds they provided. We know Florida has a cockroach problem, but this infestation was extremely severe. The place they kept the pots and pans was full of cockroach waste, which is a health hazard. We paid about a grand for this boat and didn't even get to stay a single night. It's been about two weeks now, and I'm demanding my refund for the stay and reimbursement for the night we had to leave and find another place to stay. I should also be compensated for the food we bought and had to throw away because it was contaminated. You should be completely ashamed to let someone rent out your boat in such a disgusting condition. It's a disgrace, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. You might even end up bringing some home with you!
