It’s time to drop anchor in Flagler County with the opening of the Town of Marineland’s new municipal marina. The Marineland Marina has opened its ports with a brand new facility creating a new destination for boaters on the Intracoastal Waterway between Daytona Beach and St. Augustine, FL.
No one is more excited than this insider for the Town of Marineland Marina Grand Opening celebration on Saturday, August 20, 2011. A myriad of activities are planned for the day which include kicking off the grand opening with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 2:30 pm. Live bands will be playing from 3:00 pm to 8:30 pm with local band Seaweed pumping out tunes in the early afternoon and Tammerlin out of Jacksonville closing out the evening with their worldly “focklectic” sound. Come prepared to eat with scrumptious delights from JT’s Seafood Shack like yummy fish fry and seafood! And don’t worry; you’ll be able to wash it all down with beer, wine or a soda. Raffles will be happening all day with prizes such as: free dockage for a weekend or an entire month at the Town of Marineland Marina, a 3 day / 2 night stay in a 3 bedroom Ocean View Suite at the Hammock Beach Resort, 2 rounds of golf from Palm Harbor Golf Club, dolphin program at the Marineland Dolphin Adventure, kayak tour from Ripple Effect Ecotours, floating handheld VHF radio, gift certificate for JT's Seafood Shack and more.
If you’re looking to come by boat, make sure to come early or make a reservation. Boat slips are going fast for the grand opening and reservations are required for vessels 26’ and up. Rates are only $1 a foot for large boats and vessels up to 25’ are encouraged to take advantage of our floating docks free of charge on a 1st come 1st serve basis throughout the event! Make your reservations with the dock master, Chris Kelley at 904.814.9886, now to spend this festive weekend at the marina and ask about Grand Opening discounts for dockage!
That’s all for this insider! I look forward to seeing you all out there for this weekend of maritime fun!
