MOORE'S STONE CRAB RESTAURANT
Just south of Longboat Pass, try not to miss this spot!  You may tie up for dinner and then anchor in a nice spot just south of the dock.  When you tie up, tell the hostess what time you wish to dine and she will call you at the boat.  If they have room, you may want to spend the night at the dock.

LONGBOAT KEY MOORINGS
This is a fine resort on Longboat Key; golf, tennis, swimming pool, bicycle rentals, spa and sauna, and a restaurant & deli are just some of its numerous amenities.  Fuel docks, ice, and groceries will get you set for the next leg of your trip.  There is a small shopping village nearby.  Reservations are usually a must on holiday weekends. 

SARASOTA
Marina Jacks is a large downtown marina that offers transient dockage, fine food, fuel, laundry, etc.  There is a dockside bar and some interesting shopping.  Also in the Sarasota area is the Ringling Museum of Art, Circus Museum, and St. Armand’s Circle with its fine restaurants and shops.

VENICE
Slip space is available just inside the jetty alongside the Crow’s Nest restaurant and also at the city dock to the south at Higel Marine Park, just off the ICW.  There is no charge for city dockage, however, there is no water or electricity.  The Venice Yacht Club is available if you are a member of a reciprocating club.

LEMON BAY
There are good anchorages in Lemon Bay.  In your chart briefing we will be happy to point out some good spots to anchor.  This area is among the nicest you will encounter on your cruise along the ICW.
