Shootout
 

We are planning a trip to LOTO for the shootout this year and are hoping to just stay on the boat. Any suggestions on a good place to rent a slip? It's a 38 foot boat and we would want power.

State park. PB2. Also, has shower facilities and such.

I'd also suggest State Park, Public Beach 2. Good location and an nice ride to the shoot out.

Ditto on what they said

Does Silver Sands offer dock space to those not staying in a room? I thought they had facilities too. Would be closer to Captain Rons where the Shootout takes place, but wouldnt get much rough water fun when everyone heads out for the day.

Call Bud Simmons at Pier 31 573-873-5283 they are right around the corner from the start, are somewhat protected, and have up to 110 oct gas.

Does anyone have an opinion on Bear Bottom Resort?

The bar restaraunt and slides rock. Have no idea about the resort or rooms.

I hope it works out as 10 of us are staying there for our first trip to LOTO and the shootout. I was told it is close to the action and that is all I really care about. I don't want to wish away the summer but I can't wait for this trip.

Its close to the Shootout and Capt Ron's, but about 15-20 miles by water or more from the best night time hotspots and restaurants.

Like was said, the food and waterslides are great. I don't know about the actual accomodations. It was an older resort that was purchased and upgraded.
