Boating in St. Pete
I'm headed to St. Pete for spring break this year and do not know much about the area for boating. Any good marinas? Spots to not miss? Cool restaurants? I would like to keep my boat in a marina all week that is close to St. Pete Beach.
thanks for any heads up? Ron |

Terra Verda Marina can handle performance boats and step bottoms if that is what you have. They are right there in St. Pete. There are lots of good resturants from simple and beachy to high end all up and down the beach for miles. My personal fav's are:
Guppy's Salt Rock Grille Lobster Pot Snappers Billy's Stone Crab Frenchy's in Clearwater Daquiry Deck Carino's Italian Cafe Gigi's Italian Island Way Grille Sea Critters The Pub |

Do you have sea strainers in your boat? There is a lot of sea-weed in that area; and you are going to want them.

Yes there are lots of shallow areas but if you stay in the channel or have someone with you that know the area you will be fine. I was all over St. Pete last week and no sea grass. That only happens at certain times of the year or after a huge storm.
If you have any questions about the water in the area let me know. Get a chart and watch the tides! Follow the chart or follow your chart plotter. If you would like me to show you around your 1st time out I'd be happy to. I have never run a ground...I just know the area. |

If you're going to spend most of your time on the boat, you can stay at the Holiday Inn Sunspree and have your boat with you. Feel free to PM me if Fever Mike is too busy to show you around. I'm not far away and easily have my arm twisted to run down that way. |
