Another fabulous solution:
I recently wrote an article published at cruising guide author Claiborne Young's (Salty SouthEast) Cruiser's Net (Cruisersnet.net) about the fantastic opportunity to dinghy dock at Hurricane Hole Marine for $5/day. Dockmaster Chris Pitts says this is not to be used for routine dockage, but offered as a convenience for those wishing to shop at Publix and stores nearby. Multiple trips on the same day are just fine.
Hurricane Hole Marina is located in the easternmost basin of BKH (formerly a part of Sombrero Resort). There is a ton of room for dinghies and its close proximity (Publix is right across the street and many of Marathon's most frequented businesses are nearby as well) makes the ease of docking there when time is short or shopping large impossible to beat.
If the Dockmaster is not there, just leave your fee in the till. It might be wise to write your dinghy registration number on a note with the $5. All dinghies should be off the dinghy dock by 8:00 pm to discourage misuse (i.e., bar hopping).
