Fort Pierce City Marina

The Fort Pierce City Marina is a publicly owned and operated marina at 1 Marina Way in downtown Fort Pierce, established on October 28, 1937, and boaters raise it on VHF channels 16 and 17.

The city's marina page places the facility in historic downtown Fort Pierce on the Treasure Coast, says it hosts numerous fishing tournaments through the year, and gives its position as 27 26.56 N latitude and 80 19.21 W longitude (About the Marina page). The same page says the Fort Pierce Inlet and the surrounding Indian River Lagoon give access to the Atlantic Ocean and to spoil islands used for day trips, diving, snorkeling, kayaking and fishing. The marina office phone is 772-464-1245.

The city's About Fort Pierce page adds that the marina has been restored and enhanced, is protected by a waterfront island protection and water cleaning system, and now has additional docks, dinghy docks for day-trippers and a recently dredged channel for larger vessels (About Fort Pierce page). That page describes the Fort Pierce Inlet as safe, straight and deep, the link between the lagoon and the Atlantic.

The Fort Pierce City Marina has two fueling stations, diesel delivered to the slip, 89/90 octane non-ethanol gasoline, pump-outs, shore power from 30 to 100 amps and an official IGFA weigh station.

The city's feature list for the marina also names free Wi-Fi, laundry, restrooms, showers, ice, water hookups, transient dockage, boat ramps, a supply store and gift shop, a fish cleaning station, pet friendly service and a BoatUS and SeaTow fuel discount, with the Sunrise Theatre, a public library, a farmers market and a traders market nearby (About the Marina page). On fuel, the September 2025 rate sheet sets the discount at $.05 a gallon for BoatUS or SeaTow members and $.10 a gallon for marina tenants on an overnight dockage stay or longer (Dockage rates effective September 1, 2025).

The same sheet charges $5.00 for each pump out, $10.00 a month for a dock box rental of 22 x 70, $25.00 for a lost or replacement key, and $65.00 an hour for basic staff labor or $95.00 an hour for emergency or after hours work, plus $100.00 for equipment such as pumps or electrical cords (Dockage rates effective September 1, 2025). A designated space in the Northside Marina Parking Lot costs $50.00 a month.

The Fort Pierce City Marina sheet charges by length overall or the slip minimum, with a 25 foot vessel minimum, and says all prices are subject to change (Dockage rates effective September 1, 2025). The table lists its dockage rates exactly as the sheet states them.

Stays of 5 months or longer pay first, last and a security deposit on arrival; docks A, B and C allow a maximum of six months; and the sheet gives a 30 foot minimum for live-aboard availability, while the 2021 marina rules say a live-aboard vessel must be registered as 34 feet or more (Dockage rates effective September 1, 2025; Fort Pierce City Marina Rules and Regulations). Monthly tenants who leave before the 15th are charged half a month, and after the 15th the full month. Anyone using the City Marina address for mail is charged the live-aboard fee of $185.00 a month, under the same sheet.

Transient shore power at the Fort Pierce City Marina is billed per cord per night, from $6.00 for a 30-amp cord to $30.00 for the largest single-phase service, while monthly tenants pay by the foot.

The sheet labels the $30.00 service 110 amps single phase, while the marina feature list names 30A, 50A, 100A/110V and 220V service (About the Marina page).

For monthly electric at the City Marina, the sheet charges 30 amp service at $1.00 per foot per month and 110 volt at $.50 per foot per month, with larger yachts of 81 to 125 feet at $7.00 per foot per month per 50-amp cord or $8.00 per 100-amp cord.

Contractors must be approved by the marina office before going on any dock and must carry insurance naming the Fort Pierce City Marina as additional insured, with limits of $300,000 liability and $1,000,000 commercial (Dockage rates effective September 1, 2025).

The Fort Pierce City Marina rules make the channel and basin a no wake zone, require current vessel insurance naming the marina, and ban open-flame grills, swimming and fishing from the seawalls.

The rules and regulations, revised January 17, 2021, say all boat accidents must be reported at once to the marina office and to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, that tenants must notify the office before leaving the slip for more than two days, and that the marina may use a vacant slip in the meantime (Fort Pierce City Marina Rules and Regulations). Dock boxes must be white and no longer than 72 inches, refrigerators and freezers are not allowed on the docks, and charcoal or propane grills are prohibited on boats and finger piers, with two designated grilling areas instead.

Pets staying 4 months or more need a current pet license from City Hall, 100 N US 1, 2nd Floor, and dogs must be leashed off the boat; sanding, grinding and spray painting need written approval, and waste oil disposal is billed at the marina's cost (Fort Pierce City Marina Rules and Regulations). On land, Fort Pierce Code Enforcement enforces city parking rules together with the police department and the City Marina (City of Fort Pierce Parking page).
