About this service
Mariana County runs three mooring fields: Key Lento Harbor, Tarpon Key and the bay side of the Upper Keys. A mooring ball keeps your boat off the reef and the seagrass, and gives you a place to stay for the month.
Get a permit online in a few minutes. It is issued at once, appears in My Leonida with its QR code, and the month is paid at the dockmaster’s office when you arrive.
Who it’s for
- Cruisers passing through the Keys for a few weeks
- Residents who keep their boat on a mooring
