I don't recall what the rate was at Harbortowne last year, but whatever it was, it wasn't a big enough difference to want to deal with driving over to FLL Self Park. The main group will be departing on a Monday...so spots will likely be easy there (we are leaving on Sunday...more of a challenge).

I just booked bimini sands unit 10B. Cancelation can be done 2 days before arrival.
We are going the 27- 2nd.

what dates would you recommend actually booking?

I booked the 26th - 5th so we could adjust dates if needed.
Myself and 3 additional boaters booked 6/26-7/3. You are welcome to cross with our group if you want the extra days. We are then towing to Crystal River FL 3-6 is scallop season and a great place to spend the 5th. It’s me, my bride, twin 8 year olds, 18 year old and possible two adult baby sitters, I mean friends.

I just got off the phone with Stephanie at bahia mar. She got us a group discount setup at $2 a foot with a 40ft minuim. Must have 10+ boats to get this rate. She's emailing me the reservations forms. Who ever wants to can get with me and I'll email you a form.
Please email me the form.

Does the group have room for one more boat on the crossing? If so, add me to the list. Booking RW w/slip at Fisherman's Village. Traveling will be my wife and three sons, ages 21, 20, and 18. I'm getting everything booked and about to start the boat prep.

Shouldn't be a problem. Do you need a slip at bahia mar?

Omg that would suck so bad. You know that sea ray doesn’t carry enough coverage to pay for the ship
When your $300k liability policy just isn't quiet enough.
