[EXPIRED]Captain Jane Plans A Return to Titusville City Marina (Statute Mile 879)
I’ve said it before, but I’ll keep saying it. For the past thirty years I’ve been researching the Eastern Florida coastline. Titusville City Marina has shown itself, time and time again, to be one of the best small to medium sized facilties I’ve ever reviewed. And, that’s not just because they are a SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR!
What Titusville the city may lack in accessibility and immediately-apparent charm, it more than makes up for in wonder, whether your

idea of wonder is astronauts and space stations or wood storks and roseate spoonbills — or if you are like us, both. Frankly, we found our three days a little short and plan to stop in again in the Spring.
At the moment, one of these wonders is Titusville Municipal Marina’s generous Stay Three Nights Pay for Two Offer, now extended through March 31, 2011. This discount coupled with Titusville’s already generous 25% Boat US Discount, makes this one of the best deals on the waterway.
Obviously, cruising is not about staying somewhere you don’t want to be — so use this discount to find out why those in the know come to Titusville on purpose, not just because the more apparently charming Cocoa Village was out of cruising range on a leg South.
A cold snap and the zingy discount coincided with our journey this year, so we had ample time to venture further than the walkable small and pleasant historic district and Dixie Crossroad’s Rock Shrimp.
I confess that for the past ten years, in the back of my mind has been, “Gee, I wonder whether the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is as good as they say for birdwatching.” And “Gee, I wonder if the Kennedy Space Center is actually worth the hefty ticket price and car rental…” The answer to both Gee-I-Wonders is a resounding: Don’t miss this! I’ll tell you more about these national treasures, and how to get there, in a separate posting.
It just so happens that Titusville also features one of the better municipal marinas on the ICW — clean well-maintained docks, professional and courteous staff, a good entrance channel, wide fairways, free wifi and well-maintained laundry and showers. Even its rack rate is a good value.
Special kudos to Titusville Municipal Marina for its commitment to recycling. Several well-tended big recycling bins outside the marina office offer recycling for plastics, metal and aluminum cans. Thank you, Titusville Municipal Marina for your commitment to the environment and for helping us boaters dispose of our waste responsibly.
