Bahia Honda State Park Marina

Florida Keys Big Pine Key United States North America State park marina 19 berths

Bahia Honda State Park Marina is a protected 19-slip basin in the Lower Florida Keys with water, 30-amp electricity and pump-out. Its 4.5-foot controlling depth makes it primarily a small-craft facility and shore-excursion point.

Bahia Honda State Park Marina is a small protected basin inside one of the Florida Keys' best-known state parks. Its 19 overnight slips provide water, electricity and pump-out access.

The marina has a published 4.5-foot controlling depth and 19 protected slips, making it much more relevant to small craft and tenders than to a large superyacht mothership.

Marina overview

Bahia Honda State Park Marina is a protected basin within Bahia Honda State Park in the Lower Florida Keys. Florida State Parks lists 19 overnight boat slips with water, electricity and use of park facilities including bathhouses, showers, trash disposal and sewage pump-out.

Depth and utilities

The official controlling depth is 4.5 feet and the overnight slips include 30-amp electricity. The park also identifies the marina as a designated Clean Marina and recommends advance reservations for overnight dockage.

A small-craft facility in a major natural destination

The shallow controlling depth means the basin should not be treated as a conventional superyacht berth. For larger yachts cruising the Keys, Bahia Honda is more naturally considered a tender and shore-excursion destination while the mothership remains in water appropriate to its draft.

Important vessel-length distinction

Florida State Parks separately publishes a maximum allowable vessel length of 32 feet for use of the boat ramp. That figure applies to the ramp rather than being stated as the maximum length of the marina slips, so this profile does not convert it into an unsupported berth-length restriction.
