Looking for a reasonably priced marina in the general Miami area, including the Miami river, for a 45 trawler. Tips anyone?
Thanks.

Please people, define reasonably priced when you ask this question. What we consider reasonable may not be what you do. Also are you looking for transient or year round or a few months? Liveaboard or not?
If you want to be in the middle of the action and great restaurants Miami Beach Marina on south beach is where I would stay. Joes Stone Crabs is spitting distance, Smith and Wollensky a little further.
$6 to $10 DAILY???? Holy Cow!
I’m glad I’m on the Salish Sea, two bucks a foot is on the high end around here for overnight and a few marinas located in day cruise destinations are charging a nominal fee for a few hours.

I understand. You can eat at Taco Bell or dine at Joes. Not knowing where your paying $2.00 but South Beach is South Beach, it’s not for everyone.
I'm sure taxes play a big part, but supply/demand effect is very real. There just aren't enough slips in Dade county for the number of boaters. The municipal marinas all have waitlists and Irma didn't improve the supply. I'm at Miami Beach Marina, on an annual lease. It is not cheap, but is a nice, clean well-managed marina. There may be possibilities at Prime Marina in Coconut Grove, price on an annual basis might not be that different..That’s not the reason marinas are so high there. I used to live there; it has some decent restaurants, but nothing that special. It has a lot more to do with property tax rates than anything else.

As others have said, need more info from OP to offer more help.

I would bet there are more really great restaurants within five miles of Miami Beach Marina than any other marina. Of course it is all subjective.
Miami Beach Marina - are you referring to the one just inside Government cut, before the bridge?
I have stayed there a few times - don't recall $6-$10 a foot daily. Did I miss something?

So let’s assume you own this beautiful waterfront property and your financial planner says you can turn it into a marina and have an income of $200K per year or turn it into retail shops and a couple of restaurants and derive an income of $425K per year. Taxes are the same, what would you choose?
Wifey B: More within 2 miles. More within walking distance.
That's like Joe's Stone Crab. You can't adequately describe it. One has to experience it to understand.
Joe's is very, very expensive. Maybe you are paying for the atmosphere, which is cool if thats what you are into, but you aren't paying for better stone crab claws. All stone crab claws, unless Frozen or something, are the same.
