Route plan from Loggerhead Marina - Palm Beach Gardens to Crow's Nest Marina & Restaurant

Pilotage Plan: Loggerhead Marina - Palm Beach Gardens to Crow's Nest Marina & Restaurant

Preparation and Departure from Loggerhead Marina - Palm Beach Gardens:

Your journey will commence from Loggerhead Marina in Palm Beach Gardens, a well-equipped facility ensuring a smooth start. Before departure, ensure that your vessel is in prime condition, check the weather forecast, and familiarize yourself with local navigation regulations. A quick check with the marina staff could provide last-minute insights on the local water conditions or any temporal navigational notices.

Navigational Route and Key Points:

  1. Leaving Loggerhead Marina:
  • As you exit the marina, keep an eye for the channel markers. The Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) in this area is well-marked, but it's crucial to remain vigilant for other boaters and potential hazards such as submerged logs or shallow areas.
  1. Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Area:
  • Heading north, one of your first notable landmarks will be the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse. This area requires extra caution due to changing sandbars and potential for swift currents, especially near the inlet itself. Adherence to the marked channel is imperative here. The lighthouse area is not just a navigational aid but also a beautiful sight, symbolizing the rich maritime heritage of the area.
  1. Optional Shelter or Interest Point - Peck Lake:
  • Just before reaching Hobe Sound, Peck Lake offers a serene diversion, ideal for anchoring if the weather turns or simply for enjoying a quiet break. Its proximity to the Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge makes it a splendid spot for nature enthusiasts.
  1. The Hobe Sound Navigate with Care:
    • This stretch is known for its natural beauty, but also for its shallow waters. Boaters should stay within marked channels and be mindful of speed restrictions to protect the local manatee population.
  2. St. Lucie Inlet - Proceed with Caution:
    • As you approach the St. Lucie Inlet, be prepared for busier traffic and potentially stronger currents. If you're not planning to exit into the Atlantic Ocean, ensure you're clear of the inlet traffic and continue to follow the ICW markers.
  3. Arriving at Crow's Nest Marina & Restaurant:
    • Crow's Nest Marina & Restaurant is located just before the Venice Inlet, which provides another point where attention is required due to the increased boat traffic and tidal influences. Upon arrival, the friendly marina staff will guide you to your berth, and you can soon enjoy the hospitality and dining Crow’s Nest has to offer—a fitting reward after a journey well navigated.

Important Considerations:

  • Weather and Shelter: Always have a contingency plan for shelter along the route, especially during Florida's volatile weather seasons. Peck Lake offers a good option, but always be prepared to seek alternative shelter if needed.
  • Navigational Aids: Pay close attention to buoyage and channel markers, ensuring you're referring to the most recent charts. ICW markers with yellow symbols indicate the correct path within the broader system, crucial for avoiding shallow areas.
  • Local Regulations: Respect all local speed and wake regulations, especially in areas known for manatee habitats. Awareness of and compliance with these rules not only ensures safety but also protects the local wildlife.
  • Environmental Considerations: Be conscious of your environmental impact. Dispose of waste properly and avoid actions that could harm the marine ecosystems you're enjoying.
