Calling in
Hail on VHF 16; the working channel is 68. Dock assistants are on from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday and from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday to Sunday. The marina does not publish its rates and asks to be contacted for the current ones, on (305) 673-6000.
Fuel and what is ashore
The marina sells diesel and Rec-90 non-ethanol gasoline, both containing ValvTect additives, and has pump-out services. Ashore: air-conditioned restrooms and laundry, a marine store open Monday through Saturday and closed Sunday, an on-site deli shop for provisioning, ice and beverages, lighted covered garage parking and Onspot WiFi.
The docks are concrete, with concrete finger piers, and there is more than 1,000 feet of floating pier. Boat lifts take vessels up to 40,000 pounds. The marina is accredited through the Clean and Resilient Marina Program of the Association of Marina Industries.
Where the name Government Cut comes from
Neither of the marina's own pages names the water it sits on. The NOAA gauge that serves this page does: station 8723178 is Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance, and the nearest current station is MIH0901, Miami Harbor Entrance. That is where the name on this page comes from, and it is the only source we read that gives it.
