Not a huge fan of sites that don't allow me to see content without registering first.. I'd rather know whether it is worth giving the site my information, before I am committed to doing so.

Karen, you say you are not commercial, yet you require an e-mail address and there is no advertising or anything for sale. May I ask exactly how you plan to support this site? Before I give my e-mail to anyone I want to know what I'm getting in to. Since I can't see anything of use on the site without registering I am reluctant to do so. Marinas.com provides all the info I need about a marina annd then some without being intrusive.

Exactly my point Cam... 
Cam thanks for the link to Marinas.com it is most timely. We are planning on spending next fall/winter in the Bahamas. I am having our boat trucked from the Great Lakes to Florida and I need to find a marina to receive it and possibly do some upgrades.

Greg...if you want to do some work yourself and only need a yard to offload the boat and drop her in the water....CrackerBoy yard in Ft. Pierce is a good choice and cheap. Harbourtown Marina right on the other side of the creek from them is a good full service marina. From either it is about 15 miles to the Vero Beach Muni marina where you can hang on a mooring for about $10 a day and have FREE transportation on the hour to stores, shops, restaurants, West Marine etc. and get to know a whole bunch of other cruisers heading the same place as you are!

I would find such a site very informative, but I will pass on the spam you are selling our email addresses to. That's my guess on how you are funding the site. And I find that to be rather questionable behavior.......

Well...it ain't on my list either but I think we all can make our own decisions so I don't wanna hit my "Easy" button just now! <g>
Well it looks like the OP is a spammer - no responses.
In another liveaboard forum I'm in, a guy listed a link for a online database he had with all the pertinent info - but it was only for Florida. Later in the thread a woman mentioned that she searches for pump-out facilities by state being that they are usually located at marinas - why is it so hard to track down the marinas themselves?
Anywho, I thought that was a fantastic idea and I did just that for the entire East coast - from Canada to Texas. Most of the info I found had to be copied-pasted into a word doc, but I'm sure we could complie our own database. Maybe we could create a free yahoo group just for that one purpose. Anyone interested? I can't do all the work myself but, I'll do my area - Jersey shore. Are we all only concerned with ocean/bay marinas, or fresh water as well?
Just a thought.

Kernix-
Marinas.com has the US pretty well covered IIRC. you might want to check them out, rather than re-inventing the wheel.

I found that site before and didn't find it useful - like in I type in Jersey I only get 21 hits, whereas when I searched for Pumpout facilities in NJ I found a pdf file with 167 names. Now could it be that there are some pumpout facilities where there isn't a marina perse? Don't know - still a newbie - you would have to answer that one. But how come in my list of pumpout facilities there is one in Cape May called Harborview Marina - note "marina" - and that name does not appear in the 21 hits at marinas.com when I searched for "jersey"?sailingdog said:
Could it be because Harborview Marina does not have a website? If so, does that make it any less of a marina - no. What do you think?

Might want to give some people benefit of the doubt every so often .. From the Panbo blog today... They are not planning on using the mailing list to make money (right now)...

can't be 'cause so many of the "Names of Pumpout Facility" have "Marina" or "Yacht Club" or "Boat" in their names plus besides having column headers like "Hours", "Phone," they also have columns labeled "Lat. (N)/Long. (W)" and "Water Body" and "Largest Vessel (ft.0)" - that's info for boaters.T34C said:
Here's the link for the pdf:

Now I have others on the East coast - what do you guys think? Can't do it alone.
Quittin time - remind me on Monday.
